We guarantee that our prices are the lowest on the web! If you do find one of our dresses available for purchase on another website for a lower price (including coupons) we will match it! Simply call us and tell us where to find the dress at a lower price when you place your order, we will verify the price and then we will match it. If you already purchased the dress from us contact us within five days  from the date of purchase. Let us know where you found it for less We will verify the price and then we will match it (we will issue store credit or refund the difference to the account used to pay for the dress).

Our Low Price Guarantee! applies to dresses available for purchase from another online store with secure online order processing at their regular price. If the dress on the site is marked as Sale, Clearance, Special, or other specially priced items, the guarantee does not apply. We do not honor errors on other sites. Items found on internet Auction sites are also invalid. Shipping charges applied by the competitor website will also be included when we verify the price (Other sites may discount dresses and make up the difference with excessive shipping and handling fees). To verify prices we must be able to find the dress, price, and shipping and handling fees on the website.

4. Why don't you accept dress or shoe returns or cancellations?

Since we special order your dress in the size and color you choose we cannot accept returns or cancellations because we would be overstocked with inventory.  Sizing charts are available on the site, so be sure that you have ordered the correct size, many dresses are easily altered by a local seamstress. If you need advice on alterations, please call us, we will be glad to help you. Remember, most gowns are made for girls that are 5'8", so most gowns will need some form of alteration.  Shoes are also special order items and as such can not be returned or cancelled.

5. What is the best way to measure for a gown?

Be sure to keep the tape comfortably loose when measuring. Measure your bust over the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your back. Hold the measuring tape at the smallest part of your waistline.  Measure your hips around the fullest part of your body, placing the tape about midway between your crotch and belly button.

We allow returns on sportswear, but the item must be received within 10 days of you receiving it. Please write on outside of box, 'sportswear return' and include your Order number.
