FAQs

What are your try-on booking terms?

Try-on appointments are available Monday–Friday and are scheduled in 30-minute time slots to give each client dedicated time to try on their selected pieces.

A non-refundable $15 booking fee is required to secure your appointment. If you proceed with a dress hire following your appointment, your $15 booking fee will be applied towards the cost of your hire. If you choose not to hire a garment, the booking fee is non-refundable.

The booking fee covers your reserved appointment time, preparation, styling assistance and administration associated with your booking.

Appointments can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance, with bookings closing 24 hours before your appointment time.

Once your appointment has been reviewed and confirmed by admin, you will receive a confirmation email containing the try-on address and appointment details.

We kindly ask that you arrive on time, as all appointments are limited to 30 minutes and we want to ensure they run smoothly for everyone. Arriving late may reduce the amount of time available for your try-on.

You are welcome to bring a maximum of one guest to your appointment. Where possible, we kindly ask that children are left at home to help maintain a calm and comfortable try-on environment.

Please keep in mind that due to back-to-back hires and busy periods, specific garments may not always be available to try on. Availability can change depending on current and upcoming bookings.

Appointments can be rescheduled up to 4 hours before your booking and cancelled up to 24 hours before. Changes made outside of these timeframes, or failure to attend your appointment without notice, will result in the $15 booking fee being forfeited.

We aim to create a welcoming and enjoyable experience for every client and reserve the right to refuse or reschedule appointments where necessary. 🤍
