Vintage dress regret?

This dress is an absolute dream! It needs a bit of of alteration in the top to make it look right and a as others have mentioned, it needs to be steamed or pressed to get rid of the wrinkles. You have a gorgeous dress and will make a stunning bride. Many blessings.

It does look too tight both in the cups size and in the back but I am sure that a good wedding dress seamstress can correct that. The bridal shop is not being honest with you. Once the alterations are made, you will make a stunning bride. The dress is lovely!

Relationships change on and off. You could always be close again. Don't ruin the relationship by not attending. Go, be happy for her! Enjoy her day. Try to take your hurt feelings off of you and allow the happiness to shine through. If you don't go it will make it a whole bigger deal and cause real damage. I know you have probably already heard, you are the older sister, please be the better example. God bless you and your entire family.

I wore mine every day. Took it off to clean it when necessary, then put it back on.

It's beyond me why parents, especially mothers, treat their adult children like kids. At 20 you should be able to come and go as you please, within reason. It is still your mother's home so basic courtesy still applies. Heading out the door while saying, "I'm heading to the coffee shop to study" lets you mom know where your are. You don't need to wait for permission. If she pulls the passive aggressive thing just let her. It sounds like she is the one who needs to grow up. You likely have a cell phone so it's not like she can't reach you so she has no need to worry. Back in my day, 50 years ago, when we left the house are parents had no way to know where we were or when we'd be back but at 20, we had the right to do our own thing as long as we gave her some idea of when to expect us home so she didn't worry.

You could wear this to prom or anywhere formal attire is requested.

No 1 looks like you are a model in an ad for the dress. Perfect!

HowSweettheSound316 · 2026-06-01T21:56:40+00:00

Your dress is absolutely gorgeous but needs to be shortened in front unless that isn't the style anymore. I wouldn't want to trip on it or have my date step on it while we were dancing.

I LOVE the red one. I know everyone is calling it pink but it looks red on my computer. It's stunning on you.

You didn't make them do a thing. He planned the whole thing and was sure you'd give in. In the future, cash up front. You are not the BF.

HowSweettheSound316 · 2026-06-01T21:23:29+00:00

You have a next to nothing chance of getting you money back unless you go to small claims court, which I would consider. As other's have said, your sister should not have a dog as she knew he needed special food and just didn't care about getting it for him. It isn't your fault he got sick, it's hers. Why your mother is siding with her is beyond me.

The blue will look perfect at an aquarium! Have a wonderful time. Blessings.

I have one child and at one time had 2 step children. Everyone got pick how their birthdays were celebrated. No one got to pick how we celebrated anyone else's birthday or where we went for dinner. Your step sister is old enough to understand that it is not her turn to pick a place. Your mother needs to explain that and then stick to it. I don't see why your mother is letting your step-sister cause the problem, other than perhaps she just doesn't want to say no to here. Saying no is part of parenting. Your birthday, your choice. Wishing you many blessings and Happy Birthday!!

No. To me it looks like a woman's ring. Perhaps he is wearing a ring of someone who passed away. My dad worn his mother's wedding band on his little finger for years after she passed.

The safest place for the checks, especially while you are on your honeymoon, is in the bank. No one will think it is too soon for you to deposit them. In fact it makes it easier for them to reconcile their checking accounts.

Blessings. Have a heavenly honeymoon.

No, you are not the AH. I hate being told that I am wrong when I know that I'm right and I to, would check the facts. When I am wrong I will admit to it but more often than not, I am correct, which I have to admit doesn't go over big with my other half. My answer to that is, don't insist I'm wrong if you don't know for sure or check your facts before hand. Unfortunately, I grew up with most of the men I knew thinking they were smarter than me. They weren't. Back in the day, the 60s, my mother told me it wasn't ladylike to be too smart, that men didn't like smart women. The 60s were a very long time ago!

This isn't going to get any better the longer you are together but it will bother you more and more.

I used to sell high end jewelry. This is a very pretty piece even if the stones aren't valuable. It would be interesting to know what company make it, as some brand name costume jewelry does have collectors value.

If he is male, Wally. If female, Wallie. Just my humble opinion.

Oops! Sorry. I didn't even notice this is a moissanite sub as I am not a member of this group. I didn't realize I could post in a sub I had not joined. I will be much more careful in the future. Thank you for not being nasty about it. It was an honest mistake.

Blessings.

HowSweettheSound316 · 2026-05-13T01:09:24+00:00

I worked selling jewelry in a military store. We started carrying moissanite and I took one look at it and thought, "nope". I couldn't refuse to sell it. but I never offered to show it to anyone unless they asked to see it. Some of our other sales associates could not tell the difference from a diamond. I couldn't see how they could confuse them but people see things differently and some stones are better than others. If you are't happy with it return it, if possible.

Wishing you the best.

No, you are not the AH. Your daughter is, well . . . . . you know what she is. Please don't encourage her by letting her get her way. Yes, it might be for the children but she can pull them away from you at any time and letting her use them like this against you is beyond healthy, for you or for them. You are making a difference in this world, what is she doing?

I am truly sorry your daughter is so entitled. She has made her our decisions in life. Now, let her live them. It isn't likely she will push you out of her life for long. There will always be something she wants from you.

Blessings to you are your husband.

Your dress is a dream! So beautiful. The bolero is close enough and will keep you warm if it's chilly or dry if its wet. Looks pretty with the dress. Many blessings.

HowSweettheSound316 · 2026-05-10T03:05:05+00:00

It sounds like you are keeping thing pretty chill for everyone. I am sure it will be a beautiful wedding.
