Please keep in mind that you were duly informed about the delicate nature of products made with rhinestones fabric before placing your order. As such, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges for dresses that tear due to mishandling.

We value your satisfaction and are committed to making your exchange process as smooth as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for assistance. Thank you for choosing Via Mermaids for your fashion needs.
