We advise you order or view our color swatches to make right choices. And please keep in mind that all our products are made-to-order and don't have stock dresses, so we don't provide try-on home service and accept returns like ordering two dresses and sending back one.

Sizing or Fitting Issues

As all of our dresses are hand-sewn and custom tailored, the finished gown may vary by approximately one (1) inch in either direction of the specified measurements.

*We send you a dress in wrong sizes

If the dress's size differs from the specifications you ordered, we encourage you to find a local seamstress to make adjustments, and we will gladly to give you some refund for the altered fee, if you choose this option, we require the copy of the receipt from your seamstress when you request reimbursement.

If you carefully follow our size chart/how to measure guide before deciding your size, we guarantee that your dress(es) will fit you perfectly. Dresses that do not fit properly but fit the specifications you ordered cannot be returned or exchanged. As our dresses are made with additional fabric in the seams, you can make minor adjustments at a local tailor, at your own cost.

Please note: if your order specifications differ too greatly from the final sizing request, resizing may not be possible. 

*We send you a dress in wrong color

Although we always provide you with true photos, it's sometimes impossible to match the on screen color to the original color of the item, this is due to the settings and computer screen variations, therefore please expect that there may be a slight change in the color.
