FAQ

FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions

Have your dresses been worn to weddings or are dresses used? 

No. Our dresses have not been worn to weddings, and they are not used. They are samples from bridal shops; they may be discontinued or still running styles. They may also be new dresses from a cancelled order or from closed store inventory. Where they are from and their condition will be noted in the dress description.

Are dresses dry cleaned or spot cleaned?

Dresses have not been dry cleaned or spot cleaned. We specifically do not clean dresses so there is no unknown chemical residue on dress in the event you decide to have dress professionally cleaned. This avoids any chemical reaction with incompatible solvents. 

What about dress condition?

We price our dresses according to their condition, especially if they are former sample dresses that have been tried on and handled. Expect a sample dress to have marks from handling and being tried on; beading can also be discolored or loose. Vintage dresses can have discolorations of material and beading, be very fragile and may have fabric odors.  We do not clean or repair dresses or discount them further after a sale. We attempt to disclose all stains and defects we find on dresses in description. All sales are AS IS.

 Do you accept returns?
