??? I don't get it. Why not just save money by only buying the one you're going to keep?


'Cause I have to try them on and see which one I prefer. I do that all the time. Don't all women? No? I do that! I just return the ones I don't want to keep.

I imagine she'll get a refund on the others!

True, but you're getting a refund on money you've already spent once.

Why not skip the middleman by not buying what you won't keep? That way, instead of the money leaving your pocket, going to the company, and then going back into your pocket, the money will just stay in your pocket without needing to make a round trip?

Well, Shades, I don't know which one I'll keep before I try them on. I'll have to slip into it, twirl, sit down, cross my legs, walk in it, check myself out in the mirror front-side-back and then I'll know which one I prefer. How do I do that if I don't have it in my possession? I'm not fond of any of the local stores and there is only one boutique and often I can't find my size -- so I order off the internet, quite often. That's just the way I do it. If I went to a store I'd take a whole slew of dresses with me into the dressing room and only purchase the ones I desire. I don't have that luxury where I live now.

Ahh, I see. NOW it makes sense.

Really? I thought you were right about average height/weight wise. What is it about your size that makes it difficult to find dresses for?

I fluctuate between a size 2 and a size 4. It's just hard to find that size around here.

Moniker, I like this one:

Wow, you are skinny, I am size 12 on trousers and size 8 on t-shirts. So there is a high chance I will have to have the dress altered.
Arghhh...

How many people who had that dress before you did the same thing? How many did it "commando"?
