Maybe then you can propose a joint shopping trip where he can help you pick out a replacement? That way he's still involved in the process, but you have your say too. Follow it up with a nice brunch and make a couple's outing of it! </p> Steph on "Ask Angie: How do I politely as to return a dress I got as a gift" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-i-politely-as-to-return-a-dress-i-got-as-a-gift#post-78270 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:02:20 +0000 Steph 78270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you just tell him what you wrote here? You love the dress but it is too short, and you feel uncomfortable when it blows around in the wind? I'm sure he would understand. </p> kidsongs on "Ask Angie: How do I politely as to return a dress I got as a gift" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-i-politely-as-to-return-a-dress-i-got-as-a-gift#post-78268 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:20:41 +0000 kidsongs 78268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know. I like dresses because I don't like things close to by legs. I hate the feeling of tights and leggings. It is also why I don't wear pants. It just feels itchy to me. THnaks.

Seems a shame to get rid of it it you like it but it's just a bit short x </p> kidsongs on "Ask Angie: How do I politely as to return a dress I got as a gift" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-i-politely-as-to-return-a-dress-i-got-as-a-gift#post-78265 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:37:47 +0000 kidsongs 78265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My BOfriend bought me this nice purple dress. It fits perfectly. It is really short. I left the tags on and wore it out in my yard just to try it. I don't like how much the wind blows it up. I hust don't feel comfortable wearing it that short. Thanks. Vicki </p>
