Online Guide

Welcome to diaadesigns.com!

Our mission is to provide amazing designs with exceptional customer service. Since Diaa designs is a specialty designer store and due to the nature of special occasion merchandise, this page details our On-Line shopping policy and Guide.

-General information:

It is understood that Items purchased online at diaadesigns.com from any category is “over-stock”, “Clearance” or “Sale” merchandise from our store location. (All of our merchandise are exclusive designer items, brand new, never been worn, with original packages and tags).

Please note that each of our original creation is individually sewn, beaded and embroidered. Any variations are the result of handmade workmanship and are not to be considered as irregularities or damaged. Also please note that our online prices and stock availability may differ from our flagship retail store.

Before ordering please choose your dress carefully, referencing Diaa designs size charts. (Please note that each style may have a different size chart). We will not be responsible for you ordering the incorrect size, style or color.

Also it is extremely important that you provide us with the wear date for your dress. If we are unable to provide your dress by the wear date, we will let you know immediately. We typically are able to confirm an order or provide you with the order status the day it is placed unless we receive your order after normal business hours posted on the Contact Us page. Your order status or confirmation will be sent to the email address provided at checkout.

-Choosing your size:

To find your size, Please refer to Diaa designs size charts that are located on every dress detail page and note that Size Charts may be different for each dress.

Please have someone help you measure yourself, but we recommend that you have your measurements taken by a professional seamstress for more accurate results.

Be sure to round up your measurements and please consider that even with accurate measurements; you may still need to alter the dress. You should look for a competent seamstress in your area who will be able to perform these alterations.

If you are between sizes, it is suggested that you choose the largest size of your bust, waist or hip measurements. We recommend going with a larger dress size and have the dress tailored for a perfect fit. Remember it’s easier to take a dress in than to let it out.

Please measure carefully. Do not try to guess your size, and please note that Diaa Designs, Inc. cannot be responsible for the size you choose or for the measurements taken by you. Also, please note that the size charts should be used as a general guideline only.

For more info on sizing, please view our: Size and Color Guides.
