FAQs
Sizing & Fit
Q: Are your party dresses suitable for all age groups?
A: Our collection is specially designed for girls aged 3–16 years. As children grow at different rates, we recommend checking the size chart and measurements rather than choosing solely by age.
Q: How do I choose the right size?
A: Each dress has its own size chart, created specifically for that design. Since fit, fabric, and cut can vary between dresses, we do not use a single site-wide sizing table. Please refer to the size chart on the individual product page and match it with the child’s measurements for the best fit.
Q: What should I do if my child is between two sizes?
A: When measurements fall between two sizes, we generally recommend choosing the next size up. This ensures comfort and prevents the dress from being too tight, especially for structured or non-stretch fabrics.
If you’re still unsure, feel free to contact us for sizing advice before ordering.
Store & Pickups
Q: Do you have a physical store?
A: We are an online-only store, which allows us to focus on offering a wider range of styles at great value.
Q: Can I pick up or try on a dress before purchasing?
A: Yes. We offer a free pickup or fit-on service by appointment in Albany, North Shore. This allows you to check the fit with confidence before purchasing. Please contact us to arrange a time.
Q: Do you offer help for last-minute orders or urgent occasions?
A: Absolutely! If you have a last-minute party or unexpected celebration, please get in touch. We may be able to assist even in the evenings, weekends or on holidays, at no extra charge.
Dress Care
Q: How should I care for party dresses?
A: Our dresses are occasion wear only and are not designed for everyday use. These dresses are delicate and intended for special events.
-
Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, or opt for professional dry cleaning for heavily embellished styles.
