Bride sends upset email about gown. Bridal shop replies - she's wearing it inside out

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8938173/Kentucky-bride-writes-angry-email-ugly-bridal-gown-wearing-inside-out.html







When the gown she ordered looked nothing like what was pictured on the website, a Kentucky woman wrote an angry letter to the bridal store from which she bought it — and was mortified when the store wrote back to tell her that it didn't look right because she was wearing it inside-out.

------------------

Despite some embarrassment, Aubrey appears to have a sense of humor about her mistake and shared it in a bridal Facebook group.

'Two weeks ago my wedding dress came in,' she wrote. 'I was really upset about the looks of it and sent an angry email to the company wanting to return it. I took pictures of me in the dress telling them it looked nothing like what I had ordered.

She also included some images: First, she posted front and back shots of the dress, a white strapless number with a sweetheart neckline and a fluffy tulle mermaid hem.

It has lots of little details, including embellishment at the thighs and a lace-up back.

When Aubrey put it on, though, the gown looked rough and unfinished. The tulle only ran along the very bottom, and a messy white fabric took up most of the dress.

The lace-up back looked unfinished, with the strings hanging down the back, and the front was dowdy.

arms covered with them in a strapless fancy dress. I just get a reflexive negative reaction. (and no, I'm not denouncing all tattos).

It's also jarring when I occasionally see a man in a suit and tie with tats visible on his neck.

And because it is personal, I am self-justified in disliking them.

Many tats seem more like graffiti than art. Some are more like scars than enhancements.

a humor program or satire might help!

I am assuming you have never made a joke!

and the bride doesn't have the figure for it; you have to be really skinny to not look dumpy in that tight fit with all that bunched fabric. And the tats - ick.

She doesn't take herself too seriously. Imagine if Trump didn't like his mail-order golf pants because he was wearing them backwards.

She realized her mistake, and owned up to it quite well.

The anti-tattoo brigade makes me laugh, though. (i.e. who fucking cares)
