    Oh bees, I am so upset right now!!!

    I bought my three bridesmaid dresses off of E-bay from a woman who wedding was cancelled. She was local, and I picked up the dresses from her, and there was no problem with them. I paid her $50 (A steal!) and went on my merry way. Two dresses have already been given to their respective bridesmaids, and one I need to ship to an out of town bridesmaid.

    So I am five months out from the wedding, and I go to take the dress (which has been sitting in my closet) to the post office to ship it. I took it out of its garment bag and put it in a regular plastic bag so the rain wouldn't get on it (I was walking to the post office, and I didn't want to ship the garment bag because it would add unnecessary bulk/weight). So when I pull the dress out of the bag at the post office, I notice what looks like a moderately sized grease stain on the front of the dress!!!!!!!! I don't know if it was something in the plastic bag, or if the stain was always there an I never noticed (it was large enough that I felt I would have noticed though, I inspected the dresses when I purchased them!).

    I took it to the drycleaner, but I am so upset, becuase if the stain doesn't come out I have to find a new dress for my bridesmaid!! Of all the luck :(:(:(

    Aww, That sucks!!! On the bright side, if it doesn't come out, you also won't have been set back way too much with that one, right? Hope it comes out for sure!

    I hope everything works out and the grease stain comes out! At least you didn't spend too much money. Crossing my fingers for you!
