My daughter went to buy a prom dress from aflexs palace and choose one, but as it had no price tag on it the girl in the shop had to ring the owner, who said the dress would cost £219.00 my daughter agreed and paid a £50.00 deposit, when she went back to pay further installments the owner told my daughter that the dress is now £359.00 and it has a price tag on it, can she do this or does she have to sell the dress to my daughter for the agreed price

hope you can help
many thanks

What does your receipt for the deposit amount say? Does it have any details of the dress in question - specifically the price of it?

For those not from Manc aflexs is building full of small independent shops.

Do you have a receipt with all the details? If so then I would say you have a contract if not then you might struggle.

Any compromise being offered?

Yes, a contract is made. The seller cannot unilaterally increase the price. However, you will need to be able to provide some evidence (assuming that the seller denies it) that the sale price was £219.
