Returns Policy
Wedding gowns.
We do accept returns in certain circumstances.
Wedding Gowns.
Due to the nature of the bridal business and the fact that all our gowns are significantly LOWER than High Street Prices, there are NO RETURNS on Wedding Gowns, unless the dress is faulty or damaged.
I must stress the gowns are thoroughly checked before sending to the brides and would not be sent either damaged or faulty. If damage is caused in Transit then that is subject of an insurance claim by yourself.
Custom Made Gowns.
We will accept a return if the size is a long way from the measurements you provided to us upon order (too much so that it can not be altered by a seamstress). In this case an alternative size will be given. In this case you will need to pay the restocking fee (£15) and shipping costs which is usually around £30.
You have 7 days to return your dress in its original perfect unused condition in its original packaging for exchange due to size issues.
We will offer a refund of 50% of the gown price for gowns that are simply not suitable, this is to cover restocking fees, import fees, shipping etc. So don’t just buy the dress to have a look at, look in the shops first then come back to us for the savings.
In addition you will incur any shipping costs, insurance or transaction fees in order to return the goods.
All gowns are checked and are in perfect undamaged condition before they are sent to you, so no refund will be given for damage on gowns that have been damaged in transit
Any refused or non deliverable goods will also incur a 50% restocking fee.
In order for us to accept a return we will need a written confirmation (email) from yourself within 3 days of receipt of the gown. you will need a return authorization number from us obtained via email. From this authorization the gown must be with us in 7 days.
All returned goods need to be marked with the authorization number. All goods must be returned in brand new perfect condition. All goods that are not in the condition it was when it was sent to you will not be returnable and you will be obligated to pay the full purchase price.
