How do I track my order once it ships?

Can I return or exchange an item?

We want you to be completely happy! If you have a Gilded Shadows item that you purchased from options available on our website, and it's in NEW condition (never worn, undamaged, and in the original packaging), you can return it within 30 days of receipt for a full refund. Return shipping is your responsibility.

Custom designs that you work with us to create are made just for you and cannot be returned.

If you have a problem with your order (incorrect item, color, fit, etc.) or it is damaged when you receive it, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do everything we can to make it right in time for your event. 

 

Can I cancel my order?

We understand that sometimes mistakes happen. We also process orders quickly, so we ask that you request a cancellation within 2 hours of purchase if it’s between the hours of 7 am and 5 pm, Central Standard Time. If you place an order after 5 pm, please request a cancellation by 7 am the next morning.
