FAQs

Size & fitting

1. How do I choose the correct size?

We recommend buying the size that you would normally buy when shopping for regular clothing in stores. Alternatively, measure up your bust, waist and hips, then compare those measurements against our size information advertised with each individual item. For best fitting, choose the size where your measurements lie within our advertised measurements. Please refer to each individual item description for fabric details.

2. Can I return an item for an exchange if it does not fit as advertised or as I expected?

Yes, you may return an item for an exchange if it does not fit as advertised or as you expected. Please note that all returns are subject to our returns policy.

3. How do I choose the correct size if I am in between available sizes?

If your measurements are in between our available sizes, we recommend buying the size down for a body-hugging fitment or the size up for a more liberal fitment. Most of our items are made of stretchy fabrics so fitment is reasonably flexible. Please refer to each individual item description for fabric details. Alternatively, you may contact us for assistance.

4. Are our items in Australian sizes?

Our costume items are tailored to suit Australian sizes. Other items may be US, UK or EUR sizes however, we will advertise the AUS size that those particular items will fit and advertise relevant measurements. We will make all best efforts to get advertised sizing information correct however, please be aware that Australia does not have a national sizing chart or standard to follow.

5. Are we able to make sizing alterations?

Unfortunately, we cannot make alterations. All items are pre-made and in stock, ready to be posted.

6. The size I need is out of stock, when will it be available?
