Wedding dress Buyers remorse

That is pretty awful, especially since there does not seem to be an issue of misunderstanding.

Is it a dress you can get again? Maybe return it (or cancel the order), especially if you are in the 3 day buyer's remorse laws that generally exist (which you can check regarding your state laws). If you can get it again, that would be great.

Call the salon and update them that your funding source and budget have changed. Maybe they can work out a payment plan or allow a **credit. Rarely would you get a refund. The remaining payment would be due when the dress arrived.

If you do decide to keep the dress, inform your partner that you two will have to modify your overall budget and some costs must be reduced. Good luck.

**sorry, meant credit. Full refunds are rare.

Oh gosh, I'm really sorry that happened to you. Definite lesson not to count on mom again for any financial input. As LM suggests, call the salon and explain the situation, maybe they have options.
