'THE POISON DRESS'

GOOD AFTERNOON MY DEAR FRIENDS & FOLLOWERS. FOR ANOTHER POST TODAY SINCE I AM ON A ROLL TODAY! I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING YOU ALL THROUGH 

A COUPLE OF URBAN LEGENDS!

THIS CREEP URBAN LEGEND IS ABOUT

'THE POISON DRESS'

THIS IS HOW THE TALE OF THE URBAN LEGEND GOES!

IT SEEMS THAT THE STORY WAS TOLD LAST THANKSGIVING BY

AN COUSIN WHO WORKED IN THE FINE WOMAN'S WEAR AT 

NEIMAN MARCUS IN BEVERLY HILLS. THE COUSIN SAID THAT SINCE 

NEIMAN MARCUS HAS A VERY LENIENT RETURN POLICY, MANY WEALTHY

WOMEN PUT $10,000 DRESSES ON THEIR CHARGE ACCOUNTS, WEAR 

THE EXPENSIVE DRESSES ONLY ONCE, HAVE THEM DRY CLEANED 

AND THEN RETURN THEM TO THE STORE FOR A FULL REFUND.

THIS IS WHEN THE TALE GETS INTERESTING! SOMEONE AT THE

STORE HAD TOLD THE COUSIN WHAT HAD HAPPENED ONE TIME BECAUSE

OF THIS PRACTICE IN THE FINE WOMEN'S WEAR AT NEIMAN MARCUS, 

BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED WORKING THERE! 

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! ITS SEEMS THAT AFTER A WOMAN RETURNED

A VERY EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS, ANOTHER WOMAN WOULD BUY 

THAT SAME DRESS. HOWEVER, LATER AFTER THE SECOND LADY HAD

BOUGHT THE EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS, SHE HAD BREAK OUT IN A 

HORRIBLE RASH WHILE WEARING THE DRESS.

SO THE NEXT DAY, THE WOMAN WENT TO HER DERMATOLOGIST, TO SEE

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER SKIN?

TO HER SURPRISE THE DOCTOR TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS

EXPOSED TO FORMALDEHYDE. SO AT THIS POINT SHE SUED

NEIMAN MARCUS FOR THE DOCTOR BILLS AND THE DRESS. PROBABLY BECAUSE

SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS EXPOSED TO 

FORMALDEHYDE BY JUST WEARING A DESIGNER DRESS. 

IN THIS CASE OF THE POISON DRESS THE LADY DID LIVE! 

HOWEVER, THE STORE DID TRACED THE DRESS BACK TO THE VERY FIRST

WOMAN WHO FINALLY ADMITTED WHAT HAPPENED.

THIS IS WHEN IT GETS CREEPY!

THE FIRST WOMAN WHO HAD THE DRESS SAID THAT, HER MOTHER

WANTED TO BE BURIED IN THAT SAME VERY EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS 

FROM NEIMAN MARCUS IN HOLLYWOOD LA. 

HOWEVER, THE DAUGHTER DIDN'T WANT TO BURY SUCH AN 

EXPENSIVE DRESS, SO SHE GOT IT BACK FORM THE MORTICIAN AFTER 

THE FUNERAL SERVICE AND RETURNED IT TO THE STORE.

THEN THE SECOND LADY WHO HAD BOUGHT THAT SAME DRESS

THAT HER MOTHER WAS DRESSED IN AT THE FUNERAL HOME,

WAS THEN EXPOSED TO THE FORMALDEHYDE THAT SOAKED INTO THE 

FABRIC FROM THE CORPSE OF THE DEAD MOTHER.

~WELL THERE IS A TWIST TO THE TALE~ 

THIS IS AN TRUE STORY BUT NOT AS DRAMATIC AS YOU MIGHT THINK!

IT ENDS UP NOT BEING FROM THE DESIGNER NEIMAN MARCUS 

HOLLYWOOD EXPENSIVE DRESSES BUT, FROM WHAT THE COUSINS 

GIRLFRIENDS SAID WAS THAT HER GRANDMOTHER WOULDN'T LET

HER EVER! BUY DRESSES FROM THE THRIFT SHOPS BECAUSE OF A

WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY DID DIED! FROM FORMALDEHYDE POISON IN

THE FROM OF A SECOND-DRESS. 

THIS STORY HAPPENS TO BE 60 YEARS OLD.

I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS TO BE INTERESTING AND

FUN MY DEARS LOVE YOU ALL
