Our pieces have been loved by members of the SB community and may show subtle signs of wear as part of the beauty of circular fashion and shared moments.

All garments are professionally cleaned and steamed before dispatch. However, light creasing can occur during delivery. We recommend giving your dress a gentle steam on the day of your event for a flawless finish. If ironing is necessary, please use the lowest heat setting, iron inside out and place a towel between the garment and the iron to avoid burning the fabric. A steamer is always preferred.

To keep our SB wardrobe available for everyone, alterations are not permitted. Any adjustments made without prior written approval may result in the full replacement or restoration cost being charged.

Thank you for treating our pieces with care and helping keep the SB sisterhood of the traveling dresses thriving.
