Online Sales Policy
Please Read Signatures Formals Online Sales Policy so we can assist you with choosing and purchasing one of our dresses online.
Your Wear Datese - (the date of your event). Warehouses are searched within a couple of business hours of your order. Some of the more popular Dresses may have to be backordered from the Manufacturer. If this is the case, and the Manufacturer can fill your order to arrive by ten days before the Wear Date- We place the order and bill your credit card. If the delivery date is closer than ten days to your Wear Date, we contact you with faster shipping options and estimated delivery dates so you can choose to proceed or cancel.
How to Measure: (Best to have a Friend measure you)
Bust - Measure around the fullest part of your bust. (Without wearing a padded bra)
Waist - Measure around your natural waistline about 2 inches above your belly button.
Hips - Measure around the fullest part of your hips. Approximately 8" below your waistline.
Selecting the correct size Dress: Remember that formal Dresses tend to run one size or more smaller than casual dresses. If you wear a size 6 casual dress you probably wear a 4 formal Dress depending upon the style and manufacturer.
Please follow the Manufacturer's size chart to determine your size. Base your size on the widest part of your body. For example, if your hips are wider then the measurement on the size chart, even if your bust or waist is not, choose the size for the hip measurement.
Always choose the size that will accommodate the largest measurement on your body. Whether it is your hips, waist or bust.
IF IN DOUBT- Order the larger size. Dresses can be altered smaller but they can't be altered larger!!!
Alterations: Many Dresses need some type of alterations and are the responsibility of the customer. Most Local seamstress should be able to do it for you. All gowns (even beaded gowns) can be taken in at the side seams or the seam at the back or hemed. The most common alteration is straps being shortened to fit properly.
