According to our 13 years experience of making dresses in this industry, the return rate is very high for plus size dresses, especially mermaid dresses, return rate is over 70%, as most dresses from our shop are mermaid style, so for plus size girls, some one have big waist, the others have big hip or butt, in most time, plus size standard size dresses can't fit well, so our buyers have to return them back and have to reorder a new custom made dress again, this way not only waste your time, but also take you extra money to send dress back, as wedding is so important, the wedding date can't be delayed either, so even buyers reorder a new dress, the time may not enough, that would be the biggest disaster. To seller, basis on such high return rate, it's unprofitable a lot to do such business, if we keep this high return rate, we will be closed soon. The purpose of this return policy is to encourage buyers to provide correct measurements and saving their time, money and reducing return rates, so we usually suggest plus size girls order custom size dresses instead of plus size dress, please try not choose plus size unless the error less than 1'' between your measurements and standard size.
Please note: for plus size dress, the ruching and draping may not appear exactly as picture shown because pleating is longer, the weight will be heavier than normal, so the pleating might be a little out of shape, the difference will become obviously if measurements provided not right, so please try to provide us accurate measurements.

If your measurements are not the same size as dress, so ruching and draping will not flattered, that's nothing wrong about dress, the key is whether you are in the same size as dress, all dresses are our own designs and real photos, we still have sample dress in our showing room, it's the same workers make the same dresses again and again everyday, we also took photos about your dresses before sending, we can send you photos of your dress before sending.

The ruching and draping are all fixed by stitch, that's the only way to fix the pleating.
Since the material is soft satin, it's stretchy, if your real measurements are bigger than dress, then dress will be tight for you, the pleats will be stretched to plain, the pleats will not be obviously, further more, if you take dress off, then stitches will be stretched out, they become obviously if you bring up the pleats, in this condition, you can sort out the pleats by stretching them into both side, then stitches will indent into pleats. If your real measurements are smaller than dress, then pleats will out of shape, they will become loose, so please find a seamstress in your local shop to take dress in.For more, please check our blog: https://chicsew.com/blogs/news/why-i-can-see-stitches-under-pleatsWe also have ADJUSTMENTS & REIMBERSEMENTS policy, please check this link: https://chicsew.com/pages/adjustments-reimbersements
