OK, do you think they'd let me????

Ah, I'd understand the value of the lowest price it sold for, but I have the receipt showing what I paid.

The only thing I saw on the company's website is that they refund with a recipt and tag in place, to the original form of payment. I no longer have the credit card I used. So I'd assume they'd give me store credit?

I know I'm asking them a lot to return a 6 year old dress.


Oh, it was JC Penney's

Hey it can't hurt to try! And besides you said you couldn't find anything about a time limit.

Can you make the date part hard to read..hehe...I would be embarrased after that long but hey its worth a try.

I'd give it a try. You've got all the paperwork they require for a refund. Don't laugh about it being 6 years. When I worked for Bed, Bath & Beyond, I had an elderly couple come in with a down pillow they bought 3 years before they wanted to return. It came complete with drool stains on it (I mean it was NASTY looking!!). Although they didn't have the receipt, the store manager gave them a credit. Go figure.

I work in a nice clothing store and their policy is that after 90 days, all you get back is the lowest price an item sold for. So even if it cost $100, you may only get 2.98, as they keep reducing prices after almost all stores are sold out of the item just for cases like this. And I cant imagine any circumstance under which our manager would accept a return after 6 years, tags or no tags!

I have a better suggestion - donate it to the Salvation Army or Goodwill, get a receipt, (they don't care how much you claim) and you can take the full amount against your taxes as a donation to charity.

I already have $1000 worth of Goodwill donations sitting here. Receipts for those items too. I will just see if either of my girls would wear it to prom or something. Its a gorgeous red ball gown. I bought it for a formal dance and decided at last minute that breathing was better than looking good

You could sell it at a consignment shop too but may not get what its worth.

GOOD decision! Comfort first, that's my rule. With many spring flings and proms comin up, there's bound to be someone who wants to look gorgeous!
