Hi - really here to rant.
Had a dress that I bought for what was to be our civil ceremony, but then got pregnant and then had a miscarriage and with all of that we just decided to put the wedding on the back burner, whilst we try IVF. Anyways finally decided to put my dress for sale on stillwhite. Never worn but appreciate I was never going to get my money back on it, so reduced to half what I paid for it.
A week or so later I had an interested buyer who just wouldn't really take no for an answer, kept telling me she was a new mum so money was tight, they were going to have a small wedding and the dress would be perfect but wanted considerably less for it. I kept being polite but stating I couldn't go down essentially to 70% what I paid. At this stage I was also having second thoughts and thinking maybe to just keep the dress as I did love it, but eventually we agreed to 60% off what I had originally paid. Even on the day she was to pay she kept stalling and asking if I could reduce further or send it postage free. All with the whole I'm a new mum message.
Anyways finally sent it to her and literally 3 days later it's back on stillwhite for considerably more than what I was looking for from the same lady! There is no chance its been worn by her at all. She even states its never been worn. She claimed she was going to get married spring time! Just feeling stupid and know it's my own fault for selling it and letting her "I'm a new mum" message to make me feel I was doing a nice thing!
Anyways I don't even know why I'm writing this to be honest - just prob emotional cause if everything had gone to plan would be counting down for the baby and then perhaps I would have also been thinking about the wedding down the line.
