Her Friend Tried Her Wedding Dress On, Got Lipstick Stains On It, Altered It Without Her Permission, And Posted The Photos All Over Social Media
This young woman is getting married soon, and her dream dress comes from a designer based in New York City.
She doesn’t live remotely close to NYC, so her only way to get this specific wedding dress was to go through a retailer local to her.
This meant she would have to pay $2,400 for the dress, plus more for her alterations. Somehow, she managed to find the exact dress she wanted in her size on a website, and it was brand new.
Apparently, the woman who owned the wedding dress sadly had to cancel her own wedding, so she was selling the dress for $900 in New York City through a website.
Now, her friend S was in New York City when she found the dress online, and S said she was happy to pick up the dress and bring it home for her, as they live in the same place.
She was thrilled and appreciative that S offered to go get the dress for her. She agreed to reimburse S for the cost of the dress, as well as her Uber rides to and from the location of the dress.
She also planned on surprising S with $100 on top of everything to really show her how grateful she was.
“However, my joy turned to shock/horror/dismay/disbelief when I saw S’s Instagram story showcasing her trying on MY wedding dress,” she explained.
“I called her out for it, telling her I wasn’t happy she not only tried it without my permission but posted it for the public to see. She didn’t take it down even after a conversation we had about this.”

“To make matters worse, she admitted she collected the dress posing as me. Through an email bill later, I noticed that the dress had also been altered on the spot, all without my knowledge or consent.”
She instantly confronted S when she learned all of this, and S brushed it off by saying it was her only opportunity to ever get to try out a wedding dress for herself.
S also told her to get over the whole thing and that she did owe her the $900 she shelled out for the dress.
S ruined her whole experience surrounding her wedding dress, and she is hesitating about paying S for the dress.
Now, she always knew that S was an awful friend, but they have a long history, and she has kept S in her life due to her struggles with mental health.
She knew she would never be able to live with herself if anything ever happened to S, and that’s why she never kicked S to the curb before.
But, back to the dress. S also recently informed her that there are lipstick stains on the wedding dress to make matters worse.
“Later, I found out from the shop owner that the stains were actually caused by S,” she said. “So S not only lied blatantly but tried to cover up her vile behavior by coming across as helpful.”
“I have since reverted to S and gave S two options: 1) Sell it to me at half the cost to cover alterations and dry cleaning, 2) Sell it to someone else. She chose option 2) and showed no true remorse. End of story and friendship.”
