Delivery Time
The estimated delivery time is selected at checkout. Remember to keep in mind the number of handling days it will take for your order to process; this is listed on every product page. The handling time is not included in the shipping time. We want you to get the most out of every purchase and we will always strive to get your package to you as soon as possible and that is why our selected shipper is UPS. Every order is assigned a UPS tracking number you can use to track your package.
Product Knowledge
To ensure you are ordering item(s) that fulfill your style needs, wants and desires, be sure to read the description of the item(s) on their product page. The Where 2 Wear on every product page offers style suggestions and possible events the item is suited for. Make sure you pay close attention to the size chart to ensure a proper fit of your item(s). Read below, in Know Your Size, for instructions on taking your own measurements. Style reviews are there for your convenience. See what others’ who purchased the style think about it, where they wore it and any other information they wanted to post. Feel free to pose a question in the reviews or post a comment yourself! We will also pay close attention to the reviews to ensure they remain informative.
Know Your Size
Just as every designer has their own unique style, they also size their garments differently. You will notice a size chart on the bottom of every product page which will indicate the measurements for each style size. For an accurate fit, it is important to note your measurements and compare them to the size chart. It takes a quick minute to determine the best size for you which of course will give you the best fit in your new dress! By properly taking your measurements and paying attention to the size chart, you will have no trouble finding the right size for you and will have no need to worry about ordering the wrong size! Don’t know how to take your measurements? See below in “How to determine your size.” If you find that you are between sizes here are three easy rules to follow: 1) for a looser fit, on more fitted styles, round up a size. 2) For a tighter, body hugging, fit round down a size 3) For styles that have more volume in the skirt pay close attention to applicable bodice measurements and choose a dress size that is closest to your measurements. For more questions about sizing, email info@bettercloset.com and we will be happy to help you determine your best size!
How to Determine Your Size:
Bust: Wrap a tape measure around your shoulder blades and the largest part of your bust. Keep the tape measure underneath your arms. For the best accuracy, raise your arms as little as possible during the measurement.
Waist: Run the tape measure around your natural waist; this is the thinnest part of your torso and directly at the bend when you lean over. For more form fitting styles you may want to measure across your waist with one finger inside for a loose fit.
Hip: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your hip. Depending on the skirt the measurement of your hips may matter in the fit of the dress. For some form fitting styles this is an important measurement. Quality Guarantee Against Damages

- To ensure our fabulous Better Closet clients receive items only in the best condition, and to protect Better Closet from fraudulent purchasing we must insist on the following policies:
- If you are not entirely satisfied with your Better Closet purchase, you have 3 days from receiving your item(s) to request a return for store credit or exchange authorization form from info@bettercloset.com. See instructions below in “How do I make a return or exchange?” Items must then be received within 10 days in order for a credit to be processed. Items may be returned for store credit, less shipping costs. Your item must be in the original condition it was when purchased.** If you want to make an exchange, we will send the new item you selected at no additional shipping cost for an exchange once we receive the previous item.
- *Exceptions: To ensure quality for all our customers, Final Sale and Special Order items and non-returnable merchandise have a strict no return/no exchange policy. Jovani, Terani, Faviana and Alberto Makali styles are not returnable or exchangeable. Store credit is valid for one year. Please Note: Any returns or exchanges received after 10 days of your receipt date will be returned to you.
- **The item(s) must be returned in their original condition. For quality assurance, all returns and exchanges are inspected upon receipt. Tags must be attached and the item must not have been altered, washed, or worn. Any make-up stains, rips, snags, or tears present on the item, or any other damage will result in the item being returned to you. Please do Note: If you do not accept the item being returned to you, we will charge you 50% of the retail price of the item, plus shipping charges, as a restocking fee.
- How do I make a return or exchange? (Domestic)
| 1. Within 3 days of receiving your item, email info@bettercloset.com with your order number and reason for return for store credit or exchange and request the return/exchange authorization form.* In recognition of your desired return or exchange two things will be emailed to you: 1) a UPS return label and 2) a return/exchange authorization form. |
| 2. Print out and complete the return/exchange authorization form and include it with the item(s) you intend to return or exchange and the original invoice. If the original invoice is not included a credit or exchange cannot be issued. Please use the original packing when sending an item(s) back to Better Closet. |
| 3. Print out and affix the UPS return label to the front of the original package. Be sure to cover the original shipping label. |
| 4. Give the package to a UPS driver, leave it at a certified UPS drop-off location, or drop-off the item at a UPS location. You may call UPS to schedule a pick up of your package, but you will be subsequently charged for that pick up. |
| 5. We must receive your item within 10 days of your receiving the original shipment. An email will be sent to you notifying we have received it. |
| 6. If you requested an exchange, upon approval of returned merchandise in its original condition, you will be notified via email when your exchanged item is shipped and the tracking number will be given to you. If you are returning merchandise, the full reimbursement of funds will be initiated as store credit less shipping when we receive the item(s). |
| *All exchanges are subject to item availability. When returning more than one item a restocking fee of 50% of the retail value of each item returned will be charged on all returns of two or more items per order. You are responsible for shipping fees for returns and exchanged items. This means for any returns or exchanges you are responsible to pay for two shipping rates; the shipping at the time of your original purchase and then to return it, but we will send your new exchanged item for no additional shipping fee if using Standard Ground Shipping. If you require expedited shipping on your exchanged item, you will be required to cover the additional cost. |

Better Concept
The idea of a “better closet” involves buying pieces for your wardrobe that with a little creativity you can confidently wear several different ways and save lots of money! For example, that not-so-basic little black dress (LBD) you wear with a cardigan to work as you stylishly climb your way up the corporate ladder. When 5:00pm hits, you switch your flats for some fun pumps, stash that cardigan in your purse and bound out of the office… Perhaps you’ll meet up with your beau for a romantic evening? Or sip cocktails with your girlfriends at happy hour? Whatever the night holds you’ll be ready with better style! Confident in a dress you wore from day to evening, saving money with the versatile purchase of your LBD, you’ll feel like a better you!
