- Glitter-covered items are generously packed with extra glitter to maximize sparkle. When opening these items, do so over a plastic bag to catch any loose glitter. Again, any glitter loss is considered normal and not a fault.
- Some dresses may incorporate sequin or embroidery appliques, and since each one is hand-placed, they will be unique and may be aligned differently compared to the image shown on our website. This variation is due to the handmade nature of these styles and is not considered a fault.
- In rare instances, some loose threads may appear during the production of an item. Please note that any item with a loose thread is not considered faulty.
