Today, I found out that when buying my $500 dollar dress I put my address as Austria instead of Australia. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally bought the expensive but beautifully stylish dress I've been eyeing for ages online. Ten minutes later, I went back to check the shoes the model was wearing so I could coordinate my outfit. The dress had been reduced to half price. FML
Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML
Today, I bought a $3000 HD camera. It never shipped to my house, so I was concerned. I then realized I had given the seller the address for a house in California. I live in Maine. FML
Today, I found out that FedEx delivered my $700 package to the wrong person. The person who signed for it didn't even spell my name right. FML
Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend a letter, turns out it was the wrong address. My panties are now somewhere in Canadian post. FML
Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML
Today, I got a call that my custom order bridesmaid dress is at the apartment complex I just moved out of. They won’t give it to me because I’m no longer a resident, but they just thought I should know. The wedding’s tomorrow. FML
Today, I realized the dress I bought yesterday still had the security tag on. I returned to the store to get it removed, only to realize I'd lost my receipt. The lady at the counter thought I stole it, called security, and had me escorted out, dress-less. FML
Today, after I'd ordered a cute dress online for an upcoming date, I tried it on, only to realise it was more of a glorified napkin than a dress. The tag online had said “One size fits all.” I now have a dress that fits my cat better than it fits me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hope you can contact the company in time OP!

I'm sure that can be changed. If you bought it online they should send you a confirmation email. You could call the store and have them change it.

Ah, once you've sorted the delivery I hope it fits! Otherwise that would really be a lot of bad luck...

YDI. If I was buying something that expensive, I would have checked everything...twice. Next time be more careful.

Oh that nearly happened to me once, lucky I caught it in time. Hope you can get it amended before dispatch.

So you are going to Austria...

If it's been shipped out, there's a high chance that the address in Austria isnt valid, and the package will be sent back to the company. Just that you may need to pay for extra postage for them to resend it.

$500 dollar? Pick one or the other, not both. So many people do that on here....

500 dollar dollar. Glad I'm not the only one who caught that mistake.

That's how they do it in Austria. I mean Australia.

Shouldn't you also put an "s" to "dollar"? 500 is a lot, after all.

Road trip!

Shouldnt be too hard to get it fixed if it hasn't shipped yet by just emailing the company. If it has shipped contact them and the mail carrier to inform them the address is incorrect. your street name/number and zip code(if you have them in Australia) should hopefully be different from any in Austria so it would be returned to the seller to be shipped to the right address. Hopefully you get your dress.

That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

Are dresses really worth $500?

In America some prom/wedding dresses can be $1000's of dollars.

Wow I'm 21 and I've never seen dresses that expensive. I've seen up to $300 but not $500!

There's this whole sub-market that involves luxury goods where people buy things that are expensive because they can. Don't go into stores like Saks or Neimans if that surprises you lol.

$500 isn't really that much in the world of fashion. A simple wallet can cost 300 dollars. I've seen scarves going for almost a 1000.

I personally do not think a dress is worth that. The only exception being my wedding dress which was about $450.

I believe the exchange rate for USD to AUD is something like 1/1.50 or something too, so prices are going to be different. But, I know a custom made gown can easily run $800-$2500 USD depending on material and seamstress work. (...never bought one, just drooled over them)
