To start a return email us at shipping@oliviabottega.com. If you want to cancel the order 8 days after the order, then we will withhold our expenses for the purchase, cutting of fabric and other work that we have already done (10-50% of the price of the product).
2. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

Conditions of Return

If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.

A brand new item may show gentle signs of being handled. When a dress is tried on or packaged/unpackaged to ship, it is reasonable to expect some signs of acceptable wear and tear during these actions.

Within reason, Olivia Bottega considers acceptable signs of wear to be small - both in size and amount - and easily remedied. This means that they can be easily cleaned or brushed off, taken off with a lint roller, trimmed with scissors, or sewn back on (etc).

Examples:

• loose threads
• marks from touching other objects or the floor
• pet fur
• dust
• missing or loosened buttons, beads, or gems

Concerns of this nature will be assessed on an individual basis by our team. The return fee will not be waived for minor items that can be easily fixed (replacing a jewel, replacing a button, minor light marks that can be easily cleaned off etc)

When Damage Is Not Reversible

We understand how upsetting it can be for our brides when a dress is found to have damage or blemishes. 

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue.

FAQs

Who is Olivia Bottega?

Olivia Bottega started as a husband and wife team and has since expanded into a flourishing custom wedding dress boutique. Learn more on our About Us page.

How do I get started?

Start finding your dream wedding dress in a variety of ways:

• Start with our Catalog and filter the results to your preferences
• View our Bridesmaids Dresses to get a feel for how your wedding party can look
• Contact us to speak with a designer and begin bringing the vision of your dress to life

You can also browse Our Blog for inspiration.

Can I really customize everything?

Most dresses can be customized! However, some dresses will have limitations with what can and cannot be customized. For example, with some dresses, you cannot mix-and-match the skirt and top. Other dresses you may not be able to swap buttons for zippers because it would compromise the structural integrity of the dress. In general, the possibility of customization depends on the dress and how you want to make changes.

For the most part, however, if you want something changed, we can make it happen. Just get in touch with us to get started!

How long will my dress take to make?

Depending on the level of customization, our production time is anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months. Once your design is finalized, your designer will be able to provide you with a more specific estimate.

Once my dress is finished, how long does shipping take? When can I expect my dress to arrive?

This depends completely upon where you live. Generally speaking, our shipping times are as follows:

• USA: 4–11 business days
• Europe: 2–11 business days
• Australia, New Zealand and Oceania: 6–18 business days

We do our best to meet these shipping times but cannot guarantee them. We strongly recommend ordering your dress as far in advance of your wedding day as possible. For more information, please see our Shipping Policies page.

How does your return process work?

You can return a custom-made dress if it does not contain personalized changes and does not exceed size 14. We accept returns if the dress was sent out of stock (no matter the size). Please see our Returns Policy for details.

Can I try on the dress before buying it?

Our stores are located in Russia and we would be glad to see you there! Sorry, we do not ship fitting dresses to other countries. However, we will create and ship dresses all over the world. Please check out our reviews page to hear from brides who have found their dream dress with us!
