How do I pay?

If your selected item is not available by your wear date, we will notify you within 48 business hours of placing your order, your credit card will not be charged, and your order will be cancelled.

Will I need alterations?

Probably! The majority of our customers both in-store and online choose to have their dresses altered for a perfect fit. Make sure your alterations person is familiar with formal gowns like bridal, bridesmaids, pageant and prom dresses before giving them your business!

How do I clean my dress?

You should not try and clean your dress on your own! Take it to a professional dry cleaner, and make sure they are experienced with formal gowns before you give them your business. Dresses with beads will melt if a dry cleaner tries to take an iron to your gown. Dry cleaners also have solutions to remove or reduce stains on fabric.

My dress has a funny smell or odor

Unpack your dress and hang it up for a few days so the smell can dissipate! Manufacturers use some materials that inherently have an odor to them. Your dress is not defective! It means that all of the thousands of dresses made in that style also have a similar order. It will go away after a few days of airing out.

My dress arrived with some loose beads!

Every beaded dress we sell had it beads sewn on by hand. It is common for some of these beads to be lose after being shipped. This is not considered a defect unless the beads are so loose that the design of the gown is affected.

Will my dress be wrinkled?

Probably! We have to pack them tightly and in many cases, your dress will still be in the factory plastic. These dresses can only be steamed! Do not try to take an iron to as you can easily burn the material or melt the beads. Any alterations person, seamstress, or dry cleaner that has a steamer will be able to get the wrinkles out in a few minutes.
