Yay for Gramp's getting out of the hospital! That's exciting and happy.
Well, as far as the dress goes I'd definitely call up to them and tell them about all your distress regarding and hopefully they'll be able to work something out. Whether it be exchange for a different dress or even giving partial money back anything will help. Plus I keep getting emails from them about sales so I hope something works out. If you need anything else let me know, I have a contact direct with AA so I can try that if they're not willing to do anything else for you after you speak with them.

Ok, I'm back from AA. It went very well....
I got there and the alterations lady was not there yet. I explained to the manager that something was different with my dress and the one I tried on, and she immediately wanted me to put both on. I did, and she agreed. The top of the dress was not even at all, the left side was much higher than the right side, and it was just as I said, there wasn't enough material at the top. She said we should wait for the seamstress and see what she can do.
The seamstress showed up a little late. I did put both of them on so she could see. She pulled at the dress and looked at it and there was really no hope. She said my bust is way too big for that size that they ordered and she wouldn't really be able to do anything to it. She suggested I talk to the manager and that I get another style of dress.
Well at that point I was in tears. The manager was so sweet. She offered to order a different size, but even the seamstress agreed that this dress just wouldn't work for me. I explained to the manager that I really didn't have it in my budget to get another one but I just couldn't see myself getting married in this dress. She immediately called one of the sales ladies to go pick me out some dresses that she thought I would like. I was so upset by this point, when she asked me what kind of dress I wanted I told her I didn't really care, whatever would look good. She was so sweet and patient as well.
I tried on 3 dresses and really didn't like any of them. They were ok, but I was still trying to get over how upset the last dress has made me. I was very hesitant because I NEVER wanna go through this again.
And then I put on THE dress. It was gorgeous. All of my fears and hesitations went away. I didn't have any doubts about this dress. It was perfect and looked amazing on.
Of course, I was worried about the price. It was $200 over the dress I originally purchased. So the manager came over and said not to worry about it, that she was more concerned with me getting the dress I loved. She did an even trade for the dresses! I didn't even know what to say to her. I just kept thanking her and telling her how grateful I was.
So I left there with a new dress only paying $50 to get it in a shorter size. I couldn't be happier.
So.... here's my dress!
Of course this means I will need to get new shoes and jewelry, but I'm perfectly fine with that!!

It is gorgeous! I think you should get something similar to what the model has on for jewelry! Statement choker-esque or just big ol earrings! So happy things worked out for you girl! You're going to look absolutely stunning and so happy that you can get sleep tonight! <3 <3 <3 <3 Yay!

Okay, I know I already told you this, but I am SO happy for you! Seriously, when I read your story, I let out a big "Awwwwwwwww!" That was SO nice of the manager--- not only to let you exchange, BUT to knock $200 off! And your new dress is absolutely gorgeous, I REALLY like it.
And, well, so you *have* to buy new jewelry. What a shame, no?

Kristi!! How wonderful that this all worked out. I can tell that your new gown will be absolutely perfect on your frame and you'll look oh-so-stunning walking down the aisle.
Can not wait to see it on you, especially with new jewelry.
