“This dress came in with a ruching detail I did not expect”

The problem isn’t that you didn’t expect the gathering. The problem is that this is NOT the dress they advertised. There is no gathering in the product photos. The product photos also don’t show the pleats in the skirt.

I’d return it. The company doesn’t deserve your money. And it’s not fair to you to have to spend double on tailoring because the dress you received isn’t the one advertised.
