For smaller amount under $3,000, we need full payment in advance. For bigger amount over $3,000, we can do with half deposit to start the production and the rest when the shipment is ready. But most of our customers pay full in advance. And they enjoy faster shipment in priority!

6.     What is your minimum order?

We have no minimum requirement if you don’t need territory protection. But if a new customer in your area needs the exclusivity of our gowns and asks for territory protection, we will stop selling any new styles to you from then on. But the styles you already ordered are still reorderable for your store until they discontinue.

7.     Do you offer Territory Protection？

Yes. We require annual minimum purchase of 40~80pcs each collection, including sample orders and special orders, to offer a radius of approximately 40~60miles territory protection according to the population density.

We offer territory protection only to those customers who meet our minimum requirement. If any customer could not meet the regulated quantity within the year, we would have a talk with the customer about their further plans about our dress before stopping new styles to them. If they drop the line in the new year, the old styles they already stocked in their store can still be reorderable until they discontinue. 

8.     How often do you discontinue your styles?

It depends on the sales of the styles. Usually, we renew the list of discontinued styles in our website and Facebook once a year. For popular styles, we usually keep them for many years to come. For unpopular styles, we may remove them from the collection after a year.

9.     Do you do rush orders?

Yes, we do rush orders, we usually charge 30USD each dress. The delivery time of rush orders depends on our production schedule. Usually, 2~3 weeks earlier than our regular delivery. We may not make rush orders in very high bridal season in Janaury to March. We post it in our website or Facebook.

10.  Do you make changes and how much does it cost?

Yes, we prefer standard orders, but we offer custom service to help our customers increase their sales. One dress is only allowed to make 1~2 small changes. We offer 10~50USD for the change. We can also include extra fabrics and laces with the order, so that our customers could make the changes on their own. Here is a list of changes we can make:

Customize the measurements;

Line the bodice front or fully lined;

Add buttons till end of the train;

Deepen or increase the neckline;

Shorten or lengthen the train if the skirt is made of pure chiffon, Mikado, crepe, satin,

Add spaghetti straps, long fitted sleeves, bishop sleeves, lantern sleeves, cap sleeves, flutter sleeves;

Make belts or straps removable;

Others you may inquire before you order.

We don’t make changes for the store samples. As we don’t keep records for any changes. So all changes are just done by one-and-for-all.

No change could be made for dresses made by embroidery, like LA010. Because these styles are drawn by hand as a whole piece.
