FREQUENTLY ASKED BY OUR CUSTOMERS:
Q: WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?
There are absolutely no returns, refunds, cancellations, store credits or exchanges for online and in-store purchases! It is very important to get measured correctly, because after the order/purchase is made we cannot make any changes. Size charts are found when you click on a gown to enlarge it. If you have any questions regarding size, feel free to call us at 770-942-2896.
Q. CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR PROM DRESS SHOPPING?
Yes! Prom appointments are offered, however they are not required.
Q: DO YOU RENT OR BUY BACK GOWNS?
No, we do not rent or buy back any type of inventory. Since we do not accept returns, our gowns have never been worn (aside from being tried on in store). We do not rent or buy back inventory in order to keep our products in the best condition we possibly can. This is why we ask that everyone who tries on our items respects our inventory and our posted fitting room policies.
Q: WHY DO SOME INTERNET SITES SELL THE SAME GOWNS FOR A MUCH CHEAPER PRICE?
BEWARE of Internet sites that appear to be selling a current style gown at a much cheaper price.
The gown could be a counterfeit or "fake" gown and you may not get what you paid for. Retail stores and retail internet sites are required to be an authorized retailer for the designer and must sell their gowns at the manufacturers suggested retail price.
CAN EVERY DRESS IN YOUR STORE BE SPECIAL ORDERED IN A DIFFERENT SIZE AND/OR COLOR?
The answer to this question depends entirely on the specific dress and designer. The short answer is no. If the designer has the specific dress in the specific size and color you would like in stock, then yes we can! However, if the designer does not have that in stock, we cannot.
The answer to this question also depends on your time frame. When special ordering, the dresses take approximately 7-10 business days to come in. If you are on a strict time line, there are rush shipping options available. But again, the dress must be in stock with the designer. If you want to check on stock and shipping availability for something in our store, just ask a consultant. We are more than happy to check for you!

A new window will open where you will Select a color and size (be sure to view our size charts, because each designer's charts vary) Simply click the "Add To Cart" link.

It is important to place the order ASAP (even if your prom/event isn't early) because gowns sell out quickly.

Q: HOW DO I DETERMINE MY SIZE?
To determine your correct size you will need to have your measurements professionally taken. Size charts are located on each page when you enlarge a gown, when you click on Size Chart another window will open with the designers measurements on it, if you scroll to the bottom of the page you can click on "Click Here for detailed measuring instructions" and it will show you how and where you need to have your measurements taken. Sizing varies by designer and style so be sure to consult the size chart for the dress you are interested in. Please be aware the most formal wear runs one to two sizes smaller than your normal dress size. Please note that gowns are not custom made to your measurements and should be ordered to fit your largest measurement and altered to fot your body. Please make sure you are ordering the correct size for your measurements. No returns, refunds or exchanges will be accepted for ordering the wrong size.
To determine your size follow these instructions (DO NOT measure yourself):
Bust: Measure the fullest part of your bust
Waist: Measure around your natural waist line 1-2 inches above your bellybutton
(which is the smallest part of your waist)
Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips
Q: CAN YOU TAKE MY MEASUREMENTS TO DETERMINE WHAT SIZE I SHOULD SHOP FOR IN STORE?
Short answer, no. Because each designer uses different size charts with different measurements to determine each size, measurements are only taken to determine what size you are in a specific style. Taking measurements in order to determine an overall size is not recommended. Because formal wear does run small, our consultant typically recommend beginning one size up from your jean size and get a better idea from there.
CAN YOU TAKE MY MEASUREMENTS EVEN IF I AM NOT PURCHASING FROM YOUR STORE?
Absolutely! We do charge a $15 measurement fee if you are not ordering from us, which is standard for most formalwear stores.
Q. WHAT IF I NEED ALTERATIONS?
We select the gown size based on your measurements, but we can pretty much guarantee that your dress will need alterations to get the best fit.If you are between sizes we recommend choosing the larger size so you can have the dress altered to fit you. 90% of the time, alterations are a must to ensure the dress fits you proper. We don't provide alterations in house, as we know that there are experts who have the best equipment and skills to assist with the alterations. But don't fret! We're happy to make recommendations for local seamstresses in our area, but you are not at all required to use our recommendations.
