Terms

We offer products for sale on this site using WooCommerce. We’ve partnered with WooPayments, PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay to securely process payment. As such, we never learn or store your credit card information. These payment processors share your name, address, email address, and phone number with us so that we may fulfill your order. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

Orders are shipped in the order they are received.

In general, “Ready to Ship” costumes ship within 1-2 business days.

Current turnaround times will be posted on the website if they do not fall within this range, and will override any other turnaround time information on the website.

Please contact us before placing your order if you have special deadline requests. We do our best to accommodate rush orders.

In the event that your order cannot be filled as requested, you will be notified immediately. At this point you may choose to change or cancel your order.

We are committed to providing your costumes in a timely manner in order to meet your deadlines. We understand you need time before competition or rehearsal to hold fittings and possibly embellish your costumes.

Shipping times are in addition to above processing times. Please plan accordingly for your deadlines.

General shipping times:

• First Class 3-5 business days
• USPS Priority 1-3 business days
• USPS Priority Express 1-2 business days

We use USPS and UPS to ship your purchases. Tracking is included in shipping cost. Insurance is included in Priority and Ground shipping methods. You may choose to expedite your package through either carrier at an additional cost, however this does not expedite the above processing time.

Tracking will be provided to you when your item ships, often through an email from PayPal.

We cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit. Please check tracking information and contact the carrier before contacting us regarding an item in transit.

We currently only ship to the United States.

We stand behind the quality of our work. If you feel an item is defective or not as pictured on the website, we will replace that item or approve a refund.

Returns require prior approval. Styles in our Ready-to-ship costume section can be returned within 14 days of purchase for any reason. Please contact us at dance@blacksapphiredesign.com to start the return process.

Items MUST be in their original condition to be accepted for a return: unwashed, unaltered, and unworn, with no signs of damage, stains, or odors. The cost of the costume will be returned to you minus shipping costs.

We reserve the right to apply a 10% restocking fee to returns.

As most of our site is currently one of a kind costumes, we do not typically offer exchanges of products.

These items are non-returnable and final sale:

• Custom or personalized products (unless item is received damaged or defective)
• Gift cards
• Intimate items (for health/hygienic reasons)
• Clearance items
• Size Exchanges

Please order all costumes using our size chart and your dancers’ measurements. Since all patterns are made in-house, we cannot guarantee our sizes match any large name brand sizes.

All measurements are taken in inches, in the round. If you have any questions regarding measurements or sizing, please contact us and we will be happy to advise the best size for your dancer.

Dancewear is meant to be well used in an athletic setting. However, delicate fabrics and additional trim are sometimes used in the design and should be handled with great care to prolong the life of your costume.

Costumes that are made of plain Lycra can be washed in the machine on a delicate setting, and tumble dried on low or laid flat to dry. Use the mildest detergent possible, and never iron. Never iron an embellishment or decoration.

For more delicate fabrics, like lace, mesh, sequin, foil, or anything with embellishments, please only hand wash or spot clean, and always lay flat to dry. Use the mildest detergent possible, and never iron.

Check your garment’s care tags for further information.

Custom orders may be available depending on seasonal volume. No additional discounts are available for custom or semi-custom orders. Processing time will vary. No returns or exchanges accepted on custom or semi-custom orders. A 50% non-refundable deposit will be required to start work on any custom or semi-custom costumes, and the balance will be due before any items will ship.

Cancellations for custom order deposits must be requested within 24 hours of deposit.

We do not offer rhinestoning at this time.

Cancellation requests must be within 24 hours of purchase. Please contact us to make a request.

Custom order cancellations after this 24 hour period will result in a forfeiture of your deposit.

All other cancellations may be subject to a 25% restocking fee if order has started to process.

After a return or exchange is approved, mail your product to:

Black Sapphire Design

8416 Shadow Ct

Coral Springs, FL 33071

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of shipping will be deducted from your refund.

Depending on your shipping address, the time it takes for your exchanged product to reach us may vary.

Please consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We cannot be held responsible for any item lost in transit.

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item, as well as the status of your return.

If the refund is approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment. Please allow 3-5 business days for your financial institution to restore these funds.

If 5 business days have passed since the refund was issued, please contact your bank and/or credit card company before contacting us.

We have made every effort to display product colors as accurately as possible on the Site. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.

To ensure costumes are made from the same fabric dye lot for teams and groups, please order costumes at the same time.

Due to the nature of doing business online, we typically do not alter our own products.

Costumes are made to certain size parameters, noted in each listing. This means that you may need to adjust parts of your costume after arrival, especially since every body is different.

Most commonly, strap lengths may need to be adjusted. We recommend using a local tailor, bridal shop, or alterations service that is familiar with working with stretch fabrics.

At this time, we are pausing our studio and wholesale discount program. Please check back over time, or sign up for our email Company for updates on this program.
