Sizing or Fitting Issues

As all of our dresses are hand-sewn and customized, the finished gown may vary by approximately one inch in either direction of the specified measurements. To ensure that your dress will still fit you perfectly, our tailors have created all our dresses with additional fabric in the seams to allow minor size modifications.

1.Size Deviation: Dress is not the size you ordered

Before ordering a dress, please make sure to give us the exact size measurement. The finished gown may vary by approximately one(1) inch in either direction of the specified measurements.
For the dispute on size deviation, please take some photographs of the merchandise by laying it on the ground and place a tape ruler to measure out the problem. You shall submit the photographs to service@cicidresses.com and we'll have the designated personnel to take the dispute and offer a reply within 24 hours.
If your dress’s size differs from the specifications of your order by more than one inch, please feel free to choose from the following options:
You are encouraged to find a local tailor to make adjustments. In this case, we will reimburse you for up to 10% of the product price as tailoring costs. If you choose this option, please remember to request a receipt from your tailor as a copy of it must be provided when requesting reimbursement.
You are allowed to send back the dress for free alterations, but you need pay for the back and forth shipping. (Without customer service department's confirmation, we do not accept your case.)

2.Dress is the size you ordered but does not fit

Please understand that dresses that do not fit properly but in accordance with the specifications you ordered cannot be returned or exchanged.
You can go to a local tailor or a professional seamstress to have the dress re-sized at your own cost.
Please note that if your order specifications differ too greatly from the final sizing request, re-sizing may not be possible.
Note: We DO NOT accept any returns or refunds if the size is right according to your own order information which is actually measured in wrong size by yourself. We suggest you custom your size but not choose standard size, and make measurements by a professional local tailor.
