Please do not iron your garments as this may damage the fabric. Your outfit will have been steamed prior to being packaged and sent to you. We will do our best to ensure it arrives wrinkle free. If there are creases they may fall out simply by hanging the garment. You could also try lightly steaming the garment on low heat or hanging in a steamy bathroom.

We understand that some wear and tear may occur at times. Normal wear and tear including minor stains which are able to be removed by dry cleaning, small seam rips, missing beads and sequins and stuck zippers will be assessed at our discretion and can usually be rectified by us upon return of the item. If your garments are returned with irreversible damage, you will be liable to pay the repair costs or the full retail price of the garments as listed on our website (minus the rental amounts already paid). In the unfortunate event that this occurs we will endeavour to find the best solution by taking into account the demand for the garment, the replaceable value and the condition of the garment before you hired it.
