Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the LaFayette Couture website, online store, and related services.

By accessing our website or purchasing products from LaFayette Couture, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our website or purchase products from us.

1. About LaFayette Couture

LaFayette Couture is an evening gown retail boutique located in Los Angeles, California.

We offer evening gowns and related fashion products through our boutique and online store. Certain products may be sourced from independent designers, manufacturers, or suppliers located in the United States or internationally.

2. Eligibility

By using this website or placing an order, you represent that you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under applicable law.

If you are purchasing a product on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you have the authority to do so.

3. Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to display product descriptions, photographs, colors, sizes, measurements, and other information as accurately as possible.

However:

• Colors may appear differently depending on your device, monitor, lighting, and other factors.
• Minor variations may occur between photographs and actual products.
• Designer sizing may vary between brands and styles.
• Product measurements may vary from standard U.S. sizing.
• Product availability may change without notice.

Photographs and measurements are provided for informational purposes and should not be considered a guarantee of exact color, fit, or measurements.

4. Sizing and Fit

Evening gowns may have different sizing systems depending on the designer or manufacturer.

Customers are responsible for selecting the appropriate size.

We strongly recommend that customers consult with a LaFayette Couture stylist regarding measurements, sizing, and fit before purchasing an evening gown.

Our stylists may provide general guidance based on the information supplied by the customer. However, such guidance is not a guarantee that a particular gown will fit perfectly, as individual body measurements, proportions, alterations, fabric characteristics, and personal fit preferences may affect the final fit.

Where available, customers should carefully review the applicable designer’s size chart before ordering.

5. Special Orders and Designer Orders

Some evening gowns may be ordered specifically for a customer from an independent designer or supplier.

Special-order, made-to-order, or designer-requested products may have different processing, production, cancellation, return, or exchange conditions.

Before placing a special order, customers are responsible for reviewing the applicable product-specific terms communicated by LaFayette Couture.

Once a special order has been submitted to the designer or supplier, cancellation may not be possible.

6. Orders

Submitting an order through our website constitutes a request to purchase the selected product.

LaFayette Couture reserves the right to accept or decline an order.

We may cancel or limit an order when reasonably necessary, including because of:

• Product availability;
• Pricing or listing errors;
• Inventory discrepancies;
• Payment problems;
• Suspected fraudulent or unauthorized transactions;
• Incorrect customer information; or
• Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will provide an appropriate refund for the amount paid, subject to applicable law and any applicable product-specific terms.

7. Prices and Taxes

Product prices are displayed on the website and may change without notice.

Applicable sales taxes and other legally required charges may be added at checkout.

LaFayette Couture is not responsible for taxes, duties, customs charges, or other fees imposed by a customer’s destination jurisdiction unless expressly stated otherwise.

8. Payment

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers, including available payment methods displayed during checkout.

By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.

Payment providers may have their own terms and privacy policies, which apply to their processing of your transaction.

9. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping is provided through independent third-party carriers.

Depending on availability, customers may choose from carriers such as:

• FedEx
• UPS
• DHL
• USPS

The customer is responsible for selecting the carrier and shipping service.

Shipping rates, delivery estimates, transit times, tracking, insurance, and carrier policies are determined by the selected carrier.

LaFayette Couture does not guarantee a specific shipping rate, delivery date, transit time, or carrier service.

Once a package has been accepted by the selected carrier, transportation and delivery are handled by that independent carrier.

For additional information, please review our Shipping Policy.

10. Returns and Exchanges

Returns and exchanges are subject to LaFayette Couture’s applicable Return & Exchange Policy.

Because many evening gowns are designer products and may be ordered specifically for individual customers, certain products may be subject to restrictions or may not be eligible for return or exchange.

Customers should carefully review the applicable return and exchange terms before purchasing.

11. Customer Responsibility for Size and Fit

Customers are encouraged to communicate with a LaFayette Couture stylist regarding sizing and fit before purchasing an evening gown.

If a customer chooses not to consult with a stylist despite the availability of sizing and fit assistance, the customer acknowledges that they are making their own sizing decision.

Any applicable restrictions concerning returns or exchanges for sizing or fit will be governed by the applicable Return & Exchange Policy and the terms presented to the customer before purchase.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
