In reply to the discussion: Nurse who had Ebola asks bridal store for refunds [View all]magical thyme
(14,881 posts)And while I agree nurse Vinson was a hero in treating Duncan, that does not mean she gets to order dresses -- which likely were fitted during that visit and have undergone alterations -- to blow off that order without repurcussions and cause further losses to the store.
The lawyer is really stretching it to claim that her purchasing the dresses -- which by virtue of being altered to fit the bride's maids -- would some how cause further losses to the business.
In reality, blowing off the order causes further losses because once those dresses are altered, they are no longer new and may not be easily altered to fit anybody else.
That is why they have non-refundable down payments on such dresses. The fittings aren't just to try the on for how they look. It's to alter them for a perfect fit.
