Made-to-Own Terms

These terms apply to all Made-to-Own (pre-designed "To-Own Collection" and Custom Creations) gown orders.

Please note that purchases are not made through a direct "click-to-buy" process on our website. All orders are coordinated personally through our official Mystical Wardrobes accounts on Instagram or Facebook, where our customer service team will assist you, confirm details, and provide major updates regarding your order's progress.

Our website serves primarily as a catalog and pricing reference for transparency. Official bookings, payments, and order updates are handled exclusively through our direct communication channels on Instagram or Facebook.

By placing an order, paying a down payment, and/or approving a design, the client ("You") agrees to the terms below.

2. Fabrics & Materials

For Made-to-Own gowns, certain fabrics, trims, or embellishments may occasionally become unavailable due to limited stock or supplier changes. In such cases, Mystical Wardrobes will source the closest possible alternative that preserves the approved silhouette, structure, and overall design of the gown. As each piece is handcrafted and materials are individually sourced, slight variations in shade, texture, or embellishments may naturally occur, but every gown will remain closer to the approved look and quality standard.

Minor variations in fabric type, lace patterns, or embellishment details may occur, but the final piece will uphold the same design direction and craftsmanship quality approved by the client.

4. Payment & Confirmation

  • A 50% down payment confirms the order and allows production or material sourcing to begin.
  • An order is considered final only after MW officially acknowledges your payment via our channels.
  • Payments are strictly non-refundable, as each gown is custom-made and materials are ordered specifically for your piece.
  • The remaining balance must be settled before pickup or dispatch.
  • Once any payment has been made, the amount cannot be refunded or reallocated, even if the gown is not yet completed, released, or collected.
  • Failure to complete payment or claim the gown by the advised release schedule forfeits the client's rights to any refund or ownership. Unclaimed gowns may be forfeited after written notice, with Mystical Wardrobes retaining ownership of the item.

  • Once the gown has been handed over to the courier, responsibility for any loss, damage, or delay transfers to the client.
  • MW may help with basic coordination or follow-up when possible, but is not liable for courier-related issues.

  • Provide accurate measurements, clear deadlines, and timely design inputs.
  • Attend scheduled fittings (if any) and respond promptly to design or material approvals.
