Sometimes our favourite items sell out in the blink of an eye! When an item is sold out it is, unfortunately, impossible to know whether or not we will receive it again. We've added a "notify me" section in some of our product pages that could be coming back in stock. You can leave your email and if the product comes back in stock, we will send you an email to let you know. 

If you have received an availability alert, jump at the chance of ordering your desired item by clicking the link included in the email that was sent to you, which will bring you to the product page. If you can’t finalize the transaction immediately, but still want to purchase the item, contact us via chat box (“Chat with us!”) or email and we can reserve the item for you. Quantities are limited and have a tendency of selling quickly, so we encourage you to keep your eyes peeled ;)

Finding the perfect size is sometimes a challenge when we’re shopping online, but don’t you worry!

We’ve done all the work in order to make finding your size as painless as possible (ensuring your new item fits you like a glove). The measurements for each size of every item are carefully taken to guide you in your search. All you have to do is take your measurements (around your bust, waist, and hips) with the help of a measuring tape and compare them with the measurements of the item you’re interested in (found under the size chart button in the product page). Keep in mind that the waist measurement is often the most important since most of our dresses are form-fitting and have little stretch (unless directed otherwise). 

If you have the slightest doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us via online chat or email :)

Taking your measurements is easy as pie! Just grab a measuring tape, visit our Sizing Chart, and follow the instructions listed.

We always strive to offer a full range of sizes, encouraging women of all shapes and sizes to dress up and dress well. We believe beauty comes from uniqueness, confidence, and elegance! 

To explore our Plus Size options, just visit our Plus Size collection or use the filters to the left of your screen to guide your search in other collections.

We are always at your service and thrilled to help you throughout your shopping experience! In-store, our stylists are there to help you find the perfect outfit, no matter what the occasion! Online, we are equally available and able to help you via the online chat and via email correspondence ;) We’ll be happy to help guide you in your styling quest! Otherwise, you can always check an item’s specific measurements listed under the “Sizing” tab on each product page.

You can refine your search results by using the filters (of colour, size, styles, and whatever else!) in the menu to the left of the screen. We’ll be happy to help guide you in your quest!

All the important details concerning each item are listed on each product page. The colour of an item can vary depending on the brightness and resolution of your screen or browser. If you have the slightest doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us , especially if you need to respect a specific colour palette for a special occasion :)

The composition of each item are listed on the product page under the tab “Details”. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions on this subject!

The care instructions for each item are listed on the product page under the tab Details and then next to Composition. In order to take proper care of your item, we recommend you follow the instructions that can be found on its’ tag. If “Dry clean only” is listed, it’s because that is the best method to care for it. If the item contains leather, we recommend you refer your questions to a leather specialist.

In an effort to encourage local businesses, we establish partnerships with many local Quebecois creators, as well as Canadian and American designers. Discover our Made in Canada collection . We also offer a varied range of products from all around the world.
