Because we are not able to do pre-fitting, possible alteration for perfect fit could be required .The rules of my store state that ensuring the best fit may require changes, such as adjusting the size of the figure. Therefore, please evaluate the budget and plan some changes with the help of a local tailor. If such are required

Custom and personalized orders

Dresses "made-to-measure" and other custom made items can unfortunately NOT be returned.
We ask you to treat this with understanding!

Custom and personalized orders

All our the dresses are made individually and all the dresses are handmade, so your dress can have slight differences from the photos on the model. We will do everything possible to ensure that our reproductions are as accurate as possible.
But we ask you to take into account that handmade goods can not be identically fulfilled. Manual work is unique. Therefore, goods can have insignificant differences from the presented sample.

If you wrote the wrong measurements for tailoring the dress?

If you entered the wrong measurements for the tailoring of the dress and they turned out when the dress was sewn, then you will be charged an additional fee for resizing. The amount of the additional fee will depend on the number of changes that need to be made to the size of the dress. If you do not agree with the cost of changing the size of the dress, then we will send you the dress in accordance with the measurements that you indicated when ordering. We are not responsible for your measurements! Please double check the measurements you send!

I do not like the dress, can I return it?

Cancellations
Orders can be canceled with a full refund only within 24 hours afterplacing the order.
Return
Dresses "made-to-measure" and other custom made items can unfortunately NOT be returned.All sales are final, no refunds are allowed.All our products are made by hand, created individually and made-to-order. It is necessary to understand that each dress is created specifically for the bride, taking into account individual measurements and parameters, as well as needs. And even if you buy a ready-made dress, before shipping we always adjust the size of the dress for your figure. That is also an individual order.
Therefore, we can not carry out a return.

Responsibility for the provided measurements for tailoring the dress.

Your dresses will be sewn exactly according to the measurements and sizes you sent!Almost all wedding dresses are made individually according to your measurements and sizes, which you yourself remove and provide for sewing the dress. We are not responsible for the measurements you provide for tailoring the dress. Since the dresses are made remotely and cannot be tried on while sewing, we advise you to allocate additional budget to adjust the dress size at your local tailor shop, if necessary. For our part, we will do our best to make the dress fit you perfectly, but be prepared for the fact that many elements of the dress sometimes require adjustments, for example, sleeves, skirt length and shoulder straps.

Color of dress / Differences in dress color from the photo of the dress

Especially it concerns color dresses (pink, beige, ivory, champagne and others). Please pay attention to the fact that different devices transmit saturation of hues in different ways. In addition, the transfer of color affects the photographic equipment, light and shadows in the room, the angle of the goods and models. The color of the fabric is often distorted depending on the light, photos and the device on which the pictures are reproduced. The color of the dress may slightly differ from the photo (be a little darker or lighter).
There are many variations of shades of the same fabric. Even a whites shade is very much! If you have a wedding dress, and you remotely order a veil, perhaps the veil color will be different from your dress.

How long does it take to deliver?

USA 8-20 working days, Europe 10-30 working days.
Please note that the delivery time may increase, for example, due to delays at the customs.Or because of bad weather conditions, in which delivery is delayed.
The store is not responsible for delays at customs. As soon as we sent the goods and handed it over to the carrier, the carrier is responsible for the goods.
Therefore, we recommend placing an order no later than 3 months before the wedding date, additional time will save you and us from unforeseen situations.
