Frequently Asked Questions

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just message us.

Booking

How far in advance should I book?

As early as you can — most of our pieces exist in a single size, so once a date is taken it is gone. We accept bookings from three days before your event up to six months ahead.

What is the standard rental period?

Four days. Your dress is delivered the day before your event and is due back on the fourth day. Extensions are available if you tell us in advance.

Can I change to a different dress after booking?

Confirmed bookings cannot be changed to another dress, because your piece is held exclusively for your dates. You may reschedule the same piece up to seven days before your rental date, subject to availability.

What if the dress I want is not available on my date?

The product page will show you the next free date for that exact piece, and suggest similar pieces available on your date. Do message us — we are happy to help you find something you will love.

Fit & sizing

How do I know it will fit?

Every piece lists its actual garment measurements, and our Fit Check tool compares them against yours. Where a piece runs close we will tell you honestly, and suggest another size or another piece.

Are the measurements flat or full circumference?

The measurements shown are the garment laid flat, in inches. Our Fit Check converts your body measurements for you, so just enter yours as you normally would.

Can the dress be altered to fit me?

No — our pieces must not be altered, pinned permanently, or adjusted in any way. This keeps them beautiful for everyone who wears them after you.

Payment & deposits

How do I pay?

GCash, Maya, QR Ph, or bank transfer to BDO or BPI. You will see a QR code and our account details at checkout, along with a reference code to include in your payment.

When is my booking confirmed?

Once we have verified your payment. We check payments within two hours during business hours and email you the moment your reservation is secure.

How does the security deposit work?

It is paid with your rental and refunded in full after your dress is returned and inspected, usually within 72 hours. Any charges for damage or late return are deducted and explained with photos.

Delivery & returns

Where do you deliver?

Across the Philippines. Metro Manila is served same-day by courier; provincial addresses go by standard courier and need a little more notice, which the calendar accounts for automatically.

What time will my dress arrive?

Courier pickup and delivery are scheduled between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. You choose a morning or afternoon window at checkout.

What do I need to return?

Everything that arrived: the dress, shawl, packaging box, bag, eco bag, dust bag, hanger and garment bag. There is a checklist in your box and in your email.

Do I need to clean the dress before returning it?

Please do not. Professional cleaning is included in your rental, and home cleaning can damage delicate fabrics. Just return it as it is.

Still have a question?

We reply quickly, and we’d rather you asked than guessed.
