Jury of public opinion is ruling on bridesmaid dress refund
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Bill McClellan’s column today outlines a dispute between a St. Louis woman and Ultimate Bride store on Brentwood. The short version of the story:
She ordered a bridesmaid dress, didn’t get the dress she ordered. She asked for a refund of half the cost. The store, ultimately, offered $75. “You can’t have it both ways,” the store’s general manager said. “You can’t say you’re not into dresses, and then complain that it’s not quite the same dress.”

This is silly. If she hadn’t worn the dress it would be different. She is just after money
The issue here shouldn’t be her weight! It’s the poor business practice of the Ultimate Bride Store. They got the publicity they deserve, I wouldn’t shop there!
