What happens if I damage or stain the dress?

We get it. Things happen. The $6 insurance fee will take care of minor dress issues but if a dress is damaged beyond repair or is not returned the customer is responsible for dress replacement and that is not covered under initial insurance fee. Please refer to the Terms of Service for detailed information. We do reserve the right to charge you for the cleaning cost to remove significant stains or repair damage.

Where are you able to ship dresses?

We currently ship anywhere in the 48 continental United States.

What is your refund policy?

For a dress that just doesn't work we offer a merchandise credit that will not expire. We do not offer refunds. You must contact us at help@charlottes-closet.com within 24 hours of receiving your dress to qualify for a merchandise credit. Credit will not apply to shipping and insurance costs.

Can I book an appointment to try the dresses on?

YES! If you live in the NYC area (or want to make the trip to see us), you can book a private appointment. Choose up to five styles, try on and reserve up to six months in advance. Reserve your dress and receive the week of your party. Done! Contact us at reservations@charlottes-closet.com to book your appointment.

What is the Home Try-on Option?

You can try on dresses at your home before your event with our Home Try-On Program. For $29.95 plus $12 to ship you can have up to three dresses delivered right to your doorstep to model looks at home. You will have 24 hours to model your looks at home. The home try on fee of $29.95 will be applied towards your future rental within six months. The home try-on program is only available for delivery Monday-Thursday. 

What if I reserve my dress early and something happens to it before my event?

We begin preparing your dress specifically for you well in advance. We will contact you immediately in the rare occurrence that something unexpected happens to your dress prior to this period and we will work with you to find an alternate style.

What if I change my mind after I select my dress?

Will I need to clean or steam my dress before wearing it?

Nope! We will clean and steam your dress before we ship it!

Do I need to dry clean my dress before sending it back?

Nope! Just send it back to us and we will take care of the dry cleaning!

What if the dress doesn't fit?
