Expert: Wendy Wuitschick - 6/22/2009

Question
I bought my daughter a designer wedding dress ( $6,000+) & she is now selling it. Is it wrong to think that she should give me at least half the proceeds?? I also paid for 90% of the wedding.She has already sold table runners that I made ( took 92 hours to complete) & I told her I wanted to rent not sell!

Answer
Hi Karen:

I hate to say this but you did buy the dress for your daughter and therefore she is not required to give you half since it was a gift to her.

In regards to the table runners, she should have respected your wishes since you specified what you wanted done with them and that money should be yours since you made them.  However, if she purchased the fabric on her own and you sewed them together the money should be split.

I hope this helps.  Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.

Warm regards,
Wendy Wuitschick, CWP
