Of course they will be writing me a check tomorrow when I bring in the tag with the price on it.

This is why I try everything on right away in the shop or immediately when I bring stuff home from the dry cleaner - learned this lesson the hard way after the dry cleaner shrunk a beautiful (and expensive) pair of wool trousers, but I had waited a while after picking them up before wearing them and then it was too late to claim they had done it

I am glad the seamstress is reimbursing you for the dress. Is it totally ruined or did she just take the hem up and not actually cut the fabric?

No she cut the fabric and it is totally ruined unless they can make it a top. The owner caught it but too late to do anything about it. I am a regular there and they were really apologetic and I was nice about it. I feel badly for them since they are a small time operation and the 244.00 which will be the total is going to hurt them. The owner was close to tears when I told her how much it was and she asked me to bring the ticket which I have with the price on it so she can show the seamstress. I no longer have the receipt since I bought it in May and all sales are final but the markdowns are clearly stated on the tag.

Cool, so I' m looking forward to some "beautiful meg in wrap dress" pics

Yessss..... I did

It was the same with me so a girl needs to do what a girl is supposed to do in such a situation : I got both colors and I'll report back about the colors ( even if it probably will be way too hot to actually wear the dresses now)

Looking gooooood, sweets!!! You're rocking the DVF skirts !!!!

meg, i's so sorry that happened to you! i'm glad that the seamstress will refund you.. and the O's wrap is literally one of my HG wraps. it looks great on you!

Lol, you are too funny and so my kinda girl . I would have done the same thing. I have a couple of wraps that I bought months ago now one is the orange O ring I think and the other is the light blue wave looking one. I think you have both of these too. Then I have the new wrap that I bought from Bloomingdales sale and I think it will arrive tomorrow .

Thank you Phiphi. I didn't have a choice when changing since I had already gotten make-up on the dress I took off didn't want to repeat that putting on something else. I really loved the way the dress felt and my love affair starts again with the wrap!

Did you get anything that is a NON-wrap? I love you in wraps, but I'd love to see you try some of her other styles. I used to be scared to branch out, but I am so glad I did!

Yep, totally sucks! I do feel bad for them as well so I was nice about it.

Thanks ladies! The color is so pretty but I do wish that the material is more like the Kimmie/Koto. Nonetheless, I still love it!

I want to see something non-wrap like Duke said!

Well at least they are reimbursing you and owning up to it. I have heard of some crazy horror stories with dry cleaners and how unethical they can be.

You have a cute shape, Butterfly, so I think you could pull of more styles of DVF dresses with ease.

ladies, you're sooo right. BUT: I tried so many DVF non wrap styles and none looked good on my hourglass figure. So those dresses are definitely not something I can order over the internet.

I'm near a DVF boutique in August and will try new non-wrap styles I've seen from Autumn collection. Hopefully by then, I have shed a couple of pounds and can fit in some non wrap dresses

Yeah, I know what you mean it is really heavy and yet clingy at the same time. I don't have the Kimmie but love the material on the Koto that I just from Gilt. I think this skirt is going to work best when it gets cooler.
