Consumer Fraud dress deposit

[mrsbrown]

My daughter put a deposit on a wedding dress. She found a dress that suits her much better and called to tell the shop she wants to cancel her dress order. The dress shop told her she was responsible for the entire amount of the dress and could've only cancelled it within 24 hours, which she wasn't told initially. Is she required to buy the dress or should she just forfeit her deposit. The deposit was paid in December and the dress won't be in until June and it is only February.

What does her agreement say? She needs to read the terms of her agreement

Generally once a dress is ordered, the window to cancel is short and she would at least lose the deposit. She needs to check her contract as mentioned.
