I ordered a skirt for my wife that I thought would look great on her. I looked through all of their information on sizing and even consulted someone else who ordered and was wearing the same sequined skirt about the fit. Everything seemed a "go" for a medium. My wife normally wears a Small, but I went one size up just to play it safe. I ordered it on December 24th and paid extra for 3 day shipping because we were leaving the country on December 28th and I wanted it for the trip. The 28th came and went and we were gone when it finally arrived on January 3rd. There was no information anywhere that said there would be a delay in shipping either on their site or in the order confirmation email. When it arrived, it was gorgeous rose gold sequins and I was really looking forward to her wearing it. When we returned home on January 12th, the skirt was waiting. When I unzipped it, the zipper was VERY tight and tore off about 8-10 sequins just in unzipping it. My wife was barely able to squeeze into the size Medium skirt and the zipper was a good 3 inches away from being able to zip it up. I contacted Red Dress for a refund / replacement. Their (lengthy) response was: Thank you for reaching out to us about this. We are so very sorry to hear about the delay surrounding the delivery of your order! Looking into this, it appears order xxxxxxxx was placed on Thursday, 12/24, with 3 business day expedited shipping. Since our Online Division was closed from Thursday, 12/24 to Sunday, 12/26, to spend time with our friends and families for the holidays, your order was shipped from our facility the following business day, Monday, 12/27, via UPS. Per our shipping guidelines, your order should have arrived by the end of the day Thursday, 12/30, at the latest. However, the tracking shows your package was delivered on Monday, 1/3. Warren, we truly apologize for any inconvenience this has caused! Since the order didn't arrive when promised, I've placed you in line to receive a refund for the expedited shipping cost, so we may suggest keeping your eyes peeled for a refund notification email later this afternoon, 1/14. Additionally, we are so sorry to hear the skirt didn't work out! Taking a further look into your order, it appears the Shining Moment Rose Gold Sequin Skirt is a final sale item. As stated in our return policy, "Items marked with Final Sale cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged. We do not charge restocking fees but Final sale items are limited to heavily marked down items from past seasons." We work very hard to make this information as clear as possible, as the items are marked as 'FINAL SALE' on each specified product page, and this information can also be located on our returns page. Please see the attached screenshot. With that said, we are currently unable to accept the skirt as a return, as the item is Final Sale, and non-returnable, per our return guidelines. However, we are hopeful that you're able to re-gift, re-sell, donate, or re-purpose the item however you best see fit. I hope this helps clear some things up! Again, we apologize for any confusion and/or inconvenience this has caused. Furthermore, please keep in mind, the sizing of an item truly depends on the Vendor, and since we order from many different vendors, the sizing may vary. With that said, we want to let you in on a little known fact about our website that few guests realize but can be SO helpful in picking the right pieces in the right sizes! Since our styles come from many different designers, sizing may vary from piece to piece. The 'About The Fit' section on each product's page will provide more detailed information about that particular product's fit, but if you're still not sure about the measurements or you need to know more about the product, our Fit Experts are here to help! Feel free to email them via email at
