Returns--
Timeframe: Once a holiday passes, no returns on holiday specific items will be accepted; i.e. Halloween items will be considered to be final sale on Oct. 31; Christmas items on Dec. 25. If you wish to return Christmas/Easter Holiday items - you must do so within 14 days of delivery!. For all other items: Returns of Full-Priced items are accepted within 30 days of original delivery, under the following policies.

Condition: Merchandise must be unworn, unused, unstained, undamaged, unwashed, unaltered, odor free - with original tags attached and intact and in original packaging. Obviously, we are not responsible for items damaged by the customer during the washing/drying process, nor for items that are damaged during wear. Think of your return as your opportunity to sell your items back to us and give some thought to the condition of your return. We reserve the right to reject a return if we believe the item has been worn. We are so grateful for your support and will do our best to take care of our customers. We ask that you respect us in turn.

Bracketing: Orders of multiple sizes and/or multiple duplicate/similar items are discouraged due to the seasonal nature of our merchandise and the limited quantity of each in the boutique. Such orders may be canceled by the system. We are happy to evaluate requests on a case by case basis and may grant an exception to accept any returns for store credit within a 14 day window.

Shoe Returns: Shoes must be returned in the original shoe box and the shoe box packed in a shipping box. Shoes returned in bags or with markings, stickers, address info., etc. on the shoe box or missing the original shoe box will not be accepted.

Final Sale Policy: Certain items are Final Sale and CANNOT be exchanged/returned. These include: sale items, face masks, hair accessories, hats, socks/tights/booties and items purchased on clearance at prices ending in $0.97 or $0.99.

Refunds/Store Credits: Please allow 1-4 weeks for any refunds to appear on your credit card or bank statement. If you receive a Store Credit, rather than a refund, your Store Credits will be issued as a coupon code and will be delivered to you via email. Returns of orders paid in full or in part with Store Credit will be reimbursed with store credit - no credit card refunds will be issued.

Shipping Charges: Shipping charges are not refundable. If returned, orders originally shipped with complimentary shipping will have regular shipping charges deducted from the return credit. If you return using a return service label provided by The Best Dressed Child, a nominal charge will be deducted from your return refund.

***If our system identifies an unreasonable return pattern, we may restrict or refuse future transactions from such customers.***
