RETURNS POLICY

Is it Perfect?

Vivid Dresses wants all of our customer to be in love with their purchase. So if for whatever reason you are not completely satisfied with your item, you're welcome to send it back for a Store Credit. We do not offer refunds based on change of mind. 

We strive to ensure that you are happy with your purchase and as such encourage you to contact us with any questions you may have prior to purchasing. We kindly ask to choose carefully as we do not offer refunds except in the case of faulty items that may not be repaired by us.

In accordance with Australian Consumer Law, we will only provide a refund if the item is deemed faulty and cannot be REPAIRED or REPLACED. It is at the Manufacturer/Supplier discretion if an item is deemed faulty which will guide whether we are able to provide a refund.

All items pass by a stringent Quality Control process prior to Dispatch to ensure each item leaves our Warehouse in perfect condition. All items dispatched are brand new items in their original packaging and have not been tried on or tampered with.

FAULTY ITEMS

We are sincerely sorry to hear that there was a manufacturing fault with your garment!

We take great pride in the quality of our products, therefore all items are thoroughly inspected and go through a series of quality control checks before they are dispatched and shipped. Unfortunately, we do experience manufacturing faults with our garments on rare occasions which we cannot control. Faulty items are classified as faulty if they are received damaged, or where a manufacturing fault has occurred within a reasonable time frame and are deemed as such by their respective manufacturer.

Please note: that items which have been damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty. In accordance with Australian Consumer Law, where possible, we will offer to repair or replace faulty items.

In the unlikely event that the item is inherently faulty or has a manufacturing fault, you may return it to us to be assessed. We are more than happy to replace, repair refund or offer a store credit for the items.

  • Please email us at customercare@vividdresses.com.au with photos of your faulty item, your order number & full name.
  • Item must be sent back to Vivid Dresses within 14 days (21 days for international orders) of receiving our email confirmation.
  • Our team will inspect the garment and process either a replacement, repair, refund or a store credit within 7 days
  • You will be notified by email with the outcome of your return assessment.

Please note the follow reasons are NOT considered to be faults:

  • Colour variation from online image
  • Slight design variation, e.g. placement of lace
  • Slight size variation
  • Minor imperfections, e.g. loose threads (anything they can easily be cut off with scissors), crease marks etc
  • Customer's subjective opinions on product quality and preference
  • Self-inflicted damage to the product including fabric tear or damage while trying the garment on   

Unfortunately, we don't offer refunds on change of mind or incorrect choice of purchase. This also includes changes in events, unforeseen circumstances, cancelations, and incorrect choice of size/colour. Customers, who meet the requirements for a refund by law, will be happily refunded.
