If you could get away with it, would you buy a dress and wear it to an event, then return it the next day?

Tip for best answer: M$3.00

Nope, I wouldn't do it, but I know many people who have--maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong crowd :)

I just know that I wouldn't feel right about it ... not to mention that I wouldn't enjoy the event the night before for fear of ripping or spilling something on the dress and being unable to return it! Also, hiding the tag against your skin inside the dress would be pretty uncomfortable.

In addition, I wouldn't like to be the person trying on a dress in a store after someone has worn it all night (smoky, sweaty, perfumy). I guess some people might dryclean the dress, but most probably wouldn't because drycleaning is expensive too!

In the end, I think I would rather buy from a store more in my price range or a more upmarket store having a sale. I'd even check out the thrift shops over buying a dress knowing that I would return it after use ... but that's just me.

Personally I wouldn't as I haven't got the legs for it, and I'm worried I'd clash with my wife.....

But to take the question more seriously, I don't think you should. It feels like stealing, and its like buying a cake from a bakery, licking the frosting and then handing it back.

Let me preface this by saying first: I'm not a woman. This fact either entitles me to a neutral opinion, or perhaps no opinion at all.

I think, if I knew that I would get away with it, I would probably do this. Women are being asked to pay some pretty exorbitant prices for dresses these days. Particularly stressful is the fact that you may only wear the dress once, which can make it quite difficult to justify spending several thousand dollars for a one-night premiere of the dress. With that kind of nearly-criminal pricing, I find it hard to feel bad about returning a dress that's well out of your price range.

If, however, you have the option to rent a dress, this seems more appropriate. Nobody at the event you're attending needs to know the dress is a rental, and you can keep a clear conscience (as well as a clear bank account if they had no intention of accepting your return).

Obviously that is cheating, we might be able to return it and get away from the stand point of the shop owner, but we won't be able to get away without consequences from our ever present judge and jury, that's our guilt and conscience. so in that case i won't return that which i have already bought and used, unless it is defective then i will return it by all means.

Yep!

If I could afford to go around buying dresses and keeping them then I would, but for now I think I'd have to stick with returning it ;)

No, I would not do it. For the fact that it is just wrong and because I would not want to buy someone elses used dress, especially when I am thinking it is new and paying a new price. So I wouldn't do that to anyone else.
I try to live my life by thinking about other people and how I would feel if it were me. Sure I would have a the perfect dress for the night and not have to spend the money for it, but in turn someone would be buying a dress they think is new, that is really just my hand me down cheat dress. It is not fair to the person who does buy it for the right reasons and it is not fair to the shop owner who is just trying to run his or her business.
