Stage 1 · Try it
Properly, with the mirror and daylight.
Four things, all bought in small quantities and rarely repeated.
We buy two or three of a size rather than a full rail. That is the appeal and it is also the catch: when something sells it does not come back, and we will tell you that rather than promising to order more. If you are unsure, we will hold it for a day.
Properly, with the mirror and daylight.
Including when it is not right for you.
A day to think, if you want one.
Returns explained before you pay.
Date, venue and how long you will wear it.
Including ones you would not have picked.
Quoted in writing before any work.
With enough time before the date.
For an occasion dress we will tell you honestly what the fit is doing and what alterations would cost, because a dress that needs eighty dollars of work to look right is still often the better buy. Once altered it cannot be returned, and we say so before the pins come out.
Accessories are bought with the clothing in mind rather than as a separate category, which is why they tend to work together. Everything branded comes from authorised suppliers and is sold as genuine — we do not stock replicas of anything, at any price.
To work with the current rails.
Authorised suppliers only.
With the piece you are buying.
Pierced jewellery is final sale.
A time outside opening hours.
What you need it for, and what you avoid.
Several things, without an audience.
Leaving with nothing is fine.
Useful if you hate shopping with an audience, or if a group needs to coordinate for an occasion. There is genuinely no obligation to buy — people who leave with nothing and come back in a month are better for a small shop than people pushed into a purchase they regret.
