Sample Loans
We
have a limited amount of dresses that we are able to
offer on "loan" if you would like to see the quality
of each dress, view the fabrics or try on for size.
To request a sample, a refundable deposit is
required, please select the style and size for the
dress, and give us a call. We will do everything
possible to accommodate length and color requests.
You may not receive the dress in the color or length
you may have requested, in which case we will
include fabric swatches of your colors with the
dress to give you an idea of color.

Couture dresses may be requested via
your local bridal boutique, please have
them contact us directly to arrange for
a sample dress to be shipped. No
deposit is required but actual shipping
costs will be billed ($35-60 depending
on style) |
When requesting samples, the required deposit will
be refunded, less shipping, once the dress is
returned. Please note that dresses must be
postmarked no later than 10 days from the day of
receipt, in new condition, with any tags attached.
If you elect to place an order after having left a
deposit for a sample, the full deposit will be
credited towards a any order.
Since sample dresses may be borrowed
for only 10 days from receipt, it is important that
you carefully schedule the arrival of your dress in
order to have everyone present that may need to
inspect or try on the dress. We do not have every
size in every style available for immediate shipping
so if you have a short window of time when all will
be present, we recommend that you contact us well in
advance to reserve a specific dress, style or size
for a specific window of time.
Should dresses not be returned within the allowed
time, you will be charged a non-refundable late fee
of $50 if the dress is returned up to 7 days late.
If the dress(es) are kept for more than 17 days from
the date of receipt, or have been worn or altered in
any way, the full amount of the dress(es) will be
billed, and the sale of the dress will become
final. No returns will be permitted. If you have
borrowed a dress and would like to keep the dress
beyond the 10 days, please contact us for a time
extension PRIOR to keeping the dress beyond the 10
days.
Shipping charges of $16 (to US addresses) are
non-refundable, shipping charges to Canada are
calculated by location and we can provide an
estimate of shipping charges-- which are also non
refundable. All samples are shipped via trackable
method (via FedEx ground) 3-5 day delivery with a
signature requirement. You may also pre-pay return
shipping via FedEx for an additional $16 (US
addresses only) - and you may drop off at any
FedEx-Kinko's location.
Because of possible international shipping duties &
taxes; sample dresses may only be shipped to
addresses within the United States and Canada. If
you are outside the United States and would like to
see or borrow a dress, please give us a call.
