Return and Refund Policy (Notice: these policies are applicable for both online and in-store orders) :

We whole-heartedly put our customers’ interests and satisfactions above anything else and perfectly understand that buying a custom-made order may appear risky to some of you. This is why we want to make sure you feel safe buying from us so we can serve you for many more times in the future. We will try to make this procedure as smooth and pleasant as possible for you.

Almost all of our dresses are custommade or pre-ordered items unless it is specified otherwise on each individual item. 

Change of mind
We cannot accept return if you simply change your mind. 

The color of the dress does not look like what I’ve seen on the screen.

This is an inevitable issue with online photos, due to the different camera and monitor’s settings, we cannot assure that the color will be 100% like what you see onscreen. But we will always send a photo of your dress out before shipping so you can see how the overall look is like. If you are not happy with the color or anything, please let us know immediately, since once you approve shipping and receive the dress, we will not be able to offer a refund if the color is not what you think it is.

But in case, we send you a wrong dress: a red dress instead of a blue one, we will definitely exchange the dress for you and pay for the return shipping. Please supply a photo evidence of the mistake for us to process the exchange.

The dress doesn’t fit me properly.

 

• If you choose to have the dress made in standard sizes, we will not be responsible for the dress to fit perfectly, you will need to bring it to your local tailor and get it altered there. Alternatively, we can do a size exchange for you or a store credit but we cannot offer full refund. 
• If you choose to have dress made in custom-made sizes and it doesn’t fit properly, please send us photo evidences of the difference in sizes. We would like you to send us photos with the soft measure tape next to it so we can see clearly the difference in sizes. We will also need a photo of you wearing the dress so we know what the issue is. This will help us to make decision on the reimbursement levels of the dress. We reimburse from 10% to 50% of the value of the dress depending on what the issue is.
• Since the dress is custom-made so we won’t be able to accept return, exchange and refund. But we can remake the dress for you in case of serious issue happened after receiving the returned shipment from you. You have to pay for the return shipping but we will pay for the re-shipping charge.
• For the customers who come into our physical workshop for the dress to be made, multiple fittings are required to get the dress made correctly and it is a standard dress making process. Depending on the complexity of the dress, you expect to have from 1 to 4 fittings at most.
