CANCELLATIONS / REFUNDS / CREDITS

While we do understand things can happen and you no longer need the rental the deposit placed is non-refundable. If you have paid in full only half will be refunded or can be used as rental credit. 

If your pageant is cancelled or moved dates, deposit cannot be transferred to the new date as your rental was held for that date.

Want to change the outfit you picked? A new deposit will be needed. Your original deposit will be lost. Deposits are not transferable. Please make sure you ask your mom, husband, sister, coach, etc before booking. 

We mail out every Monday via UPS, we ask renters to do the same. If you do have a preference or need a guaranteed delivery date please include in the notes and extra shipping fees will be applied. We will NOT refund or credit if your rental doesn’t arrive on time. As we cannot control the delivery system. We ship on Mondays and are told delivery is always before Friday. If mail carriers have delays it is out of our hands.

No refunds will be given if the outfit doesn’t fit your child. You are responsible for asking for measurements.

Again these are rentals, some are brand new from the designer, and some are bought used but in good condition. Some rentals may have loose snaps, buttons, small stains, or loose stones. They are still wearable.

We advise you to take videos when receiving the item.

 

BEFORE BOOKING:  

Please ask for measurements and compare them to your child if the outfit does not fit we are not responsible, and no refund will be given.

Once you reserve an outfit the outfit is held for you, if you decide you no longer need no refunds will be given as this took a spot for someone else.

Please understand while we do get a lot of NEW outfits we also buy in good or fair condition, we try our best to ensure each rental is wearable. 

These are RENTALS. Some will not be in perfect/brand-new condition. There may be tan marks inside the bodice, missing stones, loose snaps, small tears/loose threads, etc. These are to be expected but nothing that would be noticeable from the stage. (IF the corset string is not sent, any ribbon will work.) Please notify us of any major damages.

We do advise taking a video when receiving your rental and a video packing up your rental, this helps ensure you from responsibility for any missing accessories or damages.
