    After finally breaking down and crying about how much I hate my dress and how many alterations I would have to do to try and like my dress I decided the best thing to do is to try and sell my dress. It didn't help that my fiance said that he was sure he would love my dress as long as it wasn't a big 1800 stly dress and that is exactly what I think my dress looks like a big victorian ballgown. So anyone have luck selling their dress before they received it or getting their bridal shop to cance their order. I just don't want to go the next 6 months knowing I hate my dress and feeling like I have no other options.

    Is your wedding in July? Do you even have TIME to order a new dress?

    Try your hardest to cancel the order you may have a chance, unless your dealing with "no returns" kleinfelds! Otherwise id say list it on every site now, if its brand new an unaltered you will have a better shot. I am in the same situation, I have my first un-worn dress still in the packing, stuffing, and bag it arrived in from "no returns" kleinfelds hanging next to my worn second dress. Either way i still dont regret changing my dress i was so happy and comfy at my wedding :)

    My bridal store gave 50% of deposit back when I cancelled my order days before it was due to arrive in the store. I ended up buying my dream dress from the same shop and have absolutely no regrets (even though it cost me an extra $1100 in lost deposit and  rush fees)!

    I tried ebayand oncewed before it arrived, but I had no luck until it arrived and I took real pictures of it.. You could try to sell it as a PRE-SALE :) good luck !

    @psalf1980:  I hate to tell you, but MOST bridal salons have a no return policy. It's not exclusive to Kleinfelds

    Post photos on here. Maybe someone else wants it? A big 1800s style dress sounds perfect to me!
