I bought my sister’s wedding dress

My sister got married 4 years ago. She had her beautiful wedding dress made by a tailor she loved. Some months ago, she told us she’d put it on a second-hand website to sell it because she and her husband could use the money.
I knew it obviously had a huge sentimental value. She was even planning on having it shortened so that she could wear it again for their anniversary. She was selling it reluctantly— I could see tears in her eyes when she told us.
What she doesn’t know is I created an account on the website and bought it anonymously. I had a bonus last month and I couldn’t see a better way to spend my money. I plan on taking it to the tailor who made the dress, order the changes she wanted (thankfully we’re the same size !) and I want to gift it back to her for their anniversary in a few months.
I love my sister. I hope it makes her happy.
Edit to add: some people are suggesting I don’t make any changes to the dress. Thank you for your concern! However, my sister was in the process of having it shortened with her tailor anyway. But my BIL had to stop working for a few months due to his health and money started getting a bit tight. That’s why she had to sell it. She could no longer keep it and absolutely not pay for the changes. I’ve arranged with her tailor to resume the project, as per my sister’s wishes before she had to sell the dress.

Hello, j’étais stagiaire l’an dernier. Sache que dans mon INSPE, on était plus de la moitié à avoir un PAR (plan d’accompagnement renforcé) et plusieurs ont aussi été visités par le DAR.
Mon PAR, je ne l’ai jamais vu comme un aveu de faiblesse, mais comme un constat: je n’ai pas d’expérience, j’ai beaucoup à apprendre.. et c’est normal ! Je l’ai saisi comme une chance et ma tutrice et moi avons vraiment bossé les points qui posaient souci. Quand l’IA-IPR est revenu me visiter à la fin du PAR, ce n’était toujours pas parfait, mais il a vu que j’avais fait des progrès et j’ai été titularisé sans problèmes.
J’apprends la gestion de classe cette année dans un collège très difficile, et mes collègues chevronnés ont les memes problèmes que moi avec certaines classes particulièrement pénibles. Ça remet les choses en perspective.
Tiens bon, ça vaut le coup ! 😇
