FAULTY ITEMS - FOR NEW PURCHASES ONLY (Both Online and in store)

We are so sorry if you may have received a faulty item. We aim to provide our customers with products of the highest standard and quality and a thorough check of your garment is undertaken before it is sent off.

If you have received an item that you believe has a manufacturing fault, please email our Customer Service Team immediately and provide a photo documentation showing the  defect/fault, which will speed up the returns process. 

In accordance with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission if the garment we have sent has a minor fault then we have the right to repair the fault to the product and send it back to you.  If we believe the fault cannot be repaired (major fault) then we will send to you a replacement product, which matches your original purchase.  Refunds will only be given if we are unable to repair or replace your faulty item and we will reimburse you in full for your purchase. 

Please note that  faults include, but are not limited to:

• Broken or skipped (missing) stitching.
• Unusual Puckering. Puckering is an irregular seam surface.
• Garment Dimensions Measure out of Tolerance.
• Broken or faulty zip.
• Uneven hemline.
• Holes in fabric (new items only).

Untrimmed threads are not considered a fault with the garment and can be easily trimmed back with scissors.

In the case of a faulty item, we will replace the garment and cover the costs of return postage. If there is no inventory to replace the faulty garment, we will refund you the cost of the item and return postage costs in full. If an item is faulty, it must be reported to Dion for Brides immediately on delivery and returned within 7 days of fault to be eligible for a replacement.

You can email us at sales@dionforbrides.com.au if you believe your garment has a fault.

COLOUR

The colours of dresses displayed on our website may vary from monitor to monitor and the actual product you receive may or may not represent the colours you see on our website. External factors like lighting and flash may also affect the colour tone of the photo. If you are unsure about the true colour of the garment, please contact our online team at sales@dionforbrides.com.au. A refund for this return reason will not be accepted.

There are acceptable manufacturing expectations that colours may not be exactly the same as the sample gown we have in store.  This is due to changes in dye lots from 1 fabric dye lot to the next.  Acceptable standards vary between designers but as a guideline up to 20% difference in dye lot colour is considered acceptable.  
Orders where there is a dye lot colour change  and is within acceptable manufacturing standards (20% difference and below) will also not be considered reason for a return, cancellation of order, or refund.
