Choosing a Size: At our web site you will find all of the factory size charts, important information on how to measure, and additional costs for extra size and extra length. Remember, factory measurements are approximate. Be sure you use the factory size chart to aid you (do not go by your normal dress size, although it may be a consideration). Gowns are not custom-made; therefore you need to order to fit the largest part of the body and take it in where it’s too large. If a dress is too small it could be a real problem; if it is too large a seamstress can usually alter it to fit. Sizes usually can not be changed once the order has been placed. Sizing is not an exact science and alterations by an experienced seamstress will almost always be necessary for a proper fit.
Extra Length/Plus Sizes: Most factories suggest that you should consider ordering extra length if you are 5’8″ or taller with shoes on. Extra length is usually an additional 5″ of fabric added to the dress, and you will need to hem the dress to length desired in almost every case. Remember – if not sure, it’s better to have too much length and be able to shorten than to have a dress that’s too short and can’t be let out. See the factory ‘s size chart on our web site for more specific information.
Extra length costs extra, as do most larger sizes over size 16. For these costs see the factory ‘s size chart at our site.
Shipping Charges: Should any of the shipping addresses you give us be incorrect, UPS will charge additional fees to redirect the package. In such case, you will owe an amount up to $15 for re-shipping; if you have a credit card on file it will be charged. Should you move and fail to notify us of your new shipping address before we ship the order, UPS will charge additional fees to redirect the package. In such case, you will owe an amount up to $15 for re-shipping; if you have a credit card on file it will be charged.
Our gowns are special ordered and made up special for our customers. Place your order carefully as an order can not be canceled or changed once it is processed, or returned or exchanged once received as ordered.
