Returns, Refunds, and Exchange Policy

Refund Policy

STELLO gowns are designed and handcrafted in our shop in Los Angeles, CA, using only high quality materials, sourced in the USA. All gowns are custom / made-to-order and ship within a 3 week time frame. We can tweak any of our designs to make your gown perfect for your event. Or you can design your very own custom gown with a sales rep and our design team. Because of this, we have a strict no refund policy, ONLY store credit or exchange. Please note store credit will expire after 12 months if not used.

Alterations

Should your item size differ from the specifications of your order by more than one inch, we encourage you to find a local tailor to make adjustments, and we will gladly reimburse you for up to 100% of the product price in tailoring costs. If you choose this option, please remember to request a receipt from your tailor as a copy of it must be provided when requesting reimbursement.

Dresses or clothing that does not fit properly but fits the specifications you ordered cannot be returned or exchanged. As our dresses and clothing is made with additional fabric in the seams, you can make minor adjustments at a local tailor, at your own cost.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that ordering a dress for your special occasion is an important undertaking, and our cancellation policy was created with this in mind. However, it is important to note that our clothing is made-to-measure, whether you ordered a standard size or custom measurements, and the materials cannot be reused once the creation process has begun. Therefor, once your order has been placed, it can no longer be cancelled. Please refer to our cancellation and return policies below for details.

Return Policy

Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. Upon the arrival of your package, we encourage you to check and make sure that the dress or clothing has been made to the standard size or custom measurements that you specified. Try on your dress or clothing as soon as possible without removing the tags, altering, or washing the dress.

If you are returning or exchanging any gowns, please make sure they are in their original condition - unworn, unwashed, unaltered, undamaged, clean, free of lint and hair and with tags intact and attached.
