Well, that happened. That situation occurred several weeks ago. I was shopping and at that time I saw a beautiful white blouse in one of the women’s shops. I decided to put it right on. It fits me very good and the color was quite effective on me. So I bought it but when I came home I realized that it was a bit tight for me in shoulders and I felt myself uncomfortable then. Right away I took the blouse back to the shop. Fortunately, a shop assistant was a very polite and nice girl. She adequately responded to my request to change the blouse for me. She showed me several other blouses and at the end I chose one of them. And this time when I tried it on I spent several hours, several minutes to check everything from its size and how it feels and how it looks like when it is on me. And this time it fit me perfectly and I was very pleased with my choice. At that time I was very happy and still now I am wearing this blouse for special occasions because it fits me perfectly. And my husband also liked it on me. That’s the perfect blouse to wear on someone’s birthday or on a party or when you go out to the cinema. It has a big pink rose on its front side.

Right away, I took the blouse back to the shop. Fortunately, the shop assistant was a very polite and nice girl. She adequately responded to my request to exchange the blouse.
