Wedding Dresses and Any Special Order Items:
Any special or custom dress order, a dress that is not in stock or one which has had custom changes made to the original design when the order was placed are All Sales Final.
Measurements:
Please have measurements taken by a professional or seamstress. Bust, Waist and Hip measurements are essential for us to help you get the best fit, with the least amount of alterations. Bra sizes are not consistent with a bust measurement. Gowns can be made from different size charts making it impossible to guess or assume your size. It’s crucial to have these measurements because all dress size charts run differently. We are happy to help with this decision so feel free to call or email us with any questions. If measurements are not provided when you place your order, the exchange is not valid.
Alterations:
Depending on your body type, you might need an alteration or two for a perfect fit. Please keep this in mind when reviewing your gown order. Our gowns are easy to alter if needed. Most bridal gowns have up to 2" of seam allowance in the side seams. We have our own local seamstresses who can help you if you buy your dress from one of our stores. Also, depending on the gown, if you need extra fabric or lace, we can usually order it with your gown.
In Store Purchases:
There are no returns or exchanges on dresses sold in our stores. Only in stock items from our website or orders placed over the phone will be accepted for an exchange based on the exceptions listed above. Once a gown has been ordered, the order cannot be cancelled. If the dress or items have been tried on in the store, we cannot accept cancellations or returns.
Shipping Information:
Shipping costs vary for wedding gowns, formal wear, and accessories ordered separately. All shipping options are shown on our website for you to choose when you are checking out. Wedding Dresses can only be shipped via UPS, Signature Required and Insured. Please make sure to choose this option when making your purchase.
