Frequently Asked Questions
AS A REMINDER BEFORE YOU TRY ON:
It is important to try-on your item(s) without jewelry, makeup, deodorant, lotion/oil, self tanner, perfume, cigarette smoke, or anything that may damage the product. All returned items are inspected and will be rejected should they show any signs of damage. We will not return items that have missing/unattached tags, alterations, stains, makeup/deodorant marks, snags, tears, pet hair, lint, odors, or any signs of wear.
WILL I NEED ALTERATIONS?
We want you to love your dress and feel amazing in it! As every woman’s body is unique, please know that all items are able to be altered to achieve the perfect fit you are looking for. Straps that are too short/long, hems that need adjusted, a pucker at the zipper, unwanted long trains are all easy fixes by any local seamstress. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you want suggestions on alterations that will help achieve the look you are desiring.
TEMPORARY AUTHORIZATION HOLDS:
When you complete the checkout process, we may apply a temporary hold on your card in advance of your purchase, corresponding to the value of the item(s) until the transaction has been finalized. You’ll see it as a pending amount on the account of your payment method used for that purchase. This is a common practice to confirm that your payment method has sufficient funds. If you don’t complete the purchase, the authorization hold will be canceled immediately, however, may not show up immediately on the account. It could take a few minutes or up to a few days to impact your account—it depends on your card issuer/type of payment. When the order processing is completed, this authorization hold is converted to a charge to your payment method in the amount of your final transaction amount.
-
If the total transaction amount is less than the authorization amount, only the actual transaction amount for the order will be charged and the authorization hold will be voided.
- Conversely, if the final amount is higher, we may override the original authorization hold and charge the final amount, or charge the remaining amount in addition to the original amount.
You’ll find the amount, payment method used, and other details documented in a confirmation email when you complete your purchase.
If you need to know more about the authorization hold policy, we recommend you contact your card issuer.
