Alterations to Your Catherine Deane Style(s)
Alterations to achieve the perfect fit are very much a part of the bridal journey, and all Catherine Deane bridal styles are designed with easy alterations in mind.
If you decide that alterations are needed after receiving your Catherine Deane style, please note that these will be at your own cost. We recommend factoring this into your wedding dress budget.
We do not take responsibility for adjustments or alterations carried out by third parties and are not liable for issues arising from such alterations. Any style that has undergone alterations will no longer be eligible for return or exchange.
We cannot accept responsibility for changes to the fit, appearance, functionality or condition of an item resulting from alterations carried out by a third party.
To assist you and your tailor, we provide an Alterations & Suggestions section within each product description, containing guidance on suitable approaches to altering the garment.
Garments Found to Have Been Altered Upon Return
If a garment is found to have been altered when returned to us, it will not be eligible for a refund or exchange. The garment will be returned to you in the condition in which it was received.
A $25 return shipping fee will be deducted from the original refund amount, in addition to the original $45 return fee.
