It's her fault, but can't she get David's to exchange it? I know it's not the store's fault but it can't hurt to ask, and if they say no then ask at a different store.

@lalalaurita

David's Bridal has an all sales final policy. It's across all of their stores. I don't think they allow exchanges either

Wow! Sounds like my friend's sister, who was MOH due to some family drama.

I exchanged a dress through DB a year after I ordered the dress for my sister's wedding (we looked really early for dresses for her wedding they told my sister the dress was discontinued, it wasn't and still is listed on their website). I had to pay a rush order fee of $20, which was BS since the dress was located at a store in Appleton WI and I lived in Madison WI. The dress went from Appleton to Connecticut to Texas to Madison. I could have spent less then $20 driving to Appleton but they lost my business for life.

This is 100 percent her fault. I don't know how you could have made it easier for her and she chose to go against what you asked and ordered something in the complete wrong color on purpose. You don't owe her anything and you should not pay for the dress. Did she do this on purpose to start a fight, I wonder?

@alisonmarie658

I am not sure if she did this to start a fight. I may never know. I talked to my mom this afternoon and she brought up the dress situation again. She mentioned that apparently my sister was pissed about having to get another dress that she actually considered dropping out of the wedding. My mom said that it looked like she was coming around and not going to step out since my mom said she saw her looking at dresses.

And this is another example of her being manipulative and trying to get her way since she isn't MOH. Is she always like this or is this a behavior you haven't seen from her before.

You've been around awhile so you know that when you are reading someone's post you only have the info they have listed - not the whole lifetime history of a situation. My feeling about her is that she acts spoiled and manipulates to get her way. Am I on track here or making assumptions?

@kmmssg

She usually isn't like this BUT this isn't the first time. I think this is maybe the 3rd or 4th situation (that I can remember)

She threw a major fit that almost sent my dad into the hospital when I was the one that got grandma's rings (engagement ring and wedding band). My dad gave them to me because he asked me, my brother and my sister "under what circumstances would you sell the rings?"

I told my dad if it was life or death such as if my husband or child needed surgery or something and the rings would give the money needed because without the surgery they would not survive.

My brother said he would sell them if he needed to make a house payment.

My sister said she would sell them whenever she needed some cash.

I believe that David's will sometimes exchange for a different style/color, they offered to do so for one of my BMs, but it was their mistake, so I'm not 100% sure that it is a typical policy.

@hlvonb Your dad is a wise man and I am sure you made his heart very happy with your answer. I would trust my kids with what few family heirlooms there are but you can be sure I will be asking that question when the time comes.

My impression of your sister is that she likes to be the center of attention when big events occur and that is why she is throwing her hissy fit. Stick to your guns. She buys the right color or she has taken herself out of the wedding. The fact that a second dress is required is totally her fault because she tried to play games here.
