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

I decided at last minute that breathing was better than looking good

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!

I would be FAR to embarrassed to even try to take it back after all this time.

Have to tell you my sisters story... She had one of those box fans that she had bought at TG&Y (remember those stores) about 10 years prior and it went out after all those years of use and went back to get another one. They were out but expecting some in the next day. She made the remark to the the store clerk that hers had went out and what a good fan it had been and how long it lasted and that is why she wanted another one just like it.. The store manager overheard the conversation and told my sister that if she brought the old one back, they would replace it.... and they DID! 10 years later!

If worse comes to worse, and Penney's won't take it back or give you credit etc, there are some organizations that will gladly accept gowns, used or new, for girls who can't afford them for proms etc. I gave some away to "Fairygodmothers" (I forget the website full address) but thery're here in Pa, near me, and you can mail it to them. I worked part time in a department store in the dress department, and people would return summer dresses and gowns in the winter. Some worn, some new, and because the customer is always right, we always took them back.
