You are so welcome! That was so clever of you to take videos of yourself wearing it; I’m going to do the same when mine arrives.

The fact that you can still notice it in the videos would bother me, too, and like you said, once we see these things, for better or for worse, we can’t unsee them! So I think you’re wise to return it and wait for a better piece, because it would probably continue to bother you and affect your long term enjoyment of this adorable little piece.
I don’t think it’s at all unrealistic of us to expect these premium pieces to be properly aligned, stitched straight, un-frayed, etc when we’re paying so much for them!
And even though it’s frustrating to have to wait even longer, it will be worth the wait in the end to have a piece that you are truly happy with. Good luck returning this one and getting your replacement! Hopefully the waitlist moves quickly and you get a perfect piece soon.
