I would wear the dress you are more comfortable wearing. Explain to your aunt that you appreciate her efforts but you like your first dress.
Be honest! Its your wedding and you should love what you wear and be comfortable.
Good Luck!!!

I say show your aunt the dress that came, maybe she will agree that it does not look good and can still help you out. Good luck!

I don't see the pics anymore, but i'm so sorry this happened! Your Aunt made a really nice gesture, and i'm sure she'd be really upset too to know what happened. I think honesty will certainly help you out in the end! Good luck!

Re: Dress CHAOS!
Hey I would def show your Aunt the dress as one of the girls said. If you are not happy with either dress is there a possibility of returning them both and starting new? I would hate to see you not feel like a princess on your wedding day. I hope it works out for you and that you can find something better without being out a lot of $$.

WOW! show your aunt the dress exactly the way it came and explain to her exactly how you feel. that you appreciate all the time, money and effort she spent on it but you would not be happy wearing it.

Re: Dress CHAOS!
oh my goodness... that really stinks. on the one hand, that was incredibly sweet of your aunt, and i'm sure that you don't want her to feel like you don't appreciate what she did for you. i would probably tell her that you really love your first dress, and see what she can do with the dress she bought.
then see what you can do to make that dress your own. good luck!!

Re: Dress CHAOS!
i think you need to be honest with your aunt. if she is the kind of aunt to order the dress that she thought you really wanted, then she's the kind of aunt who will understand your feelings. tell her that you don't want to hurt her feelings but you think she got hoodwinked! that this is not the dress you had wanted. you can ask her where she got the dress from and try to get an understanding of how much she knows: did she order the right style, did she see the dress prior to you getting it, what types of guarantees did the vendor give her? try to throw the blame on the people that she got the dress from. maybe she can reurn it.
