Return Policy

Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. Upon the arrival of your package, we encourage you to check and make sure that the dress or clothing has been made to the standard size or custom measurements that you specified. Try on your dress or clothing as soon as possible without removing the tags, altering, or washing or dry cleaning the dress.

We gladly accept all unwashed, unworn, and unaltered merchandise; we must receive your return within 7 days of delivery. International customers view our International Return policy. Gown returns must be in original condition and packaging (garment bag), free of makeup, pet hair, pin marks, floor debris and stains. Please keep all tags attached to your gown until you are completely satisfied with your purchase. Once the tag is removed, the gown may no longer be returned. Gowns returned that are not in ‘like new condition’ may have a $200.00 restocking fee deducted from the refund. For more details on refunds please refer to Refund Process.

If you are returning or exchanging dresses, clothing, or accessories, please make sure they are in their original condition – unworn, unwashed, unaltered, undamaged, clean, free of lint and hair and with tags intact and attached.

Defective, Damaged or Miss-shipped Items

Defective, damaged or miss-shipped items are eligible for a full refund. When requesting your refund, please be ready to provide Customer Service with photographs clearly showing the problem with the items. If you believe your items were damaged during shipping, Customer Service will need photographs showing the damaged packaging as well as “Proof of Damage” documentation from your delivery carrier in order to process your refund.

Sizing or Fitting Issues

As all of our dresses and clothing is hand-sewn, the finished gown may vary by approximately one (1) inch in either direction of the specified measurements. To ensure that your item will still fit you perfectly, our tailors have created all our dresses with additional fabric in the seams to allow minor size modifications to be made easily.

Your item is the size you ordered but does not fit

For Made-To-Order clothing, if the items do not fit properly but were made accurately according to your order specifications, you are eligible for a free, one-time-only re-sizing service. You are responsible for all shipping fees incurred.
