At PEGEEN Children's Formal
Wear we are committed to making your day special. We
take special pride in bringing all of our brides into
our family. How do we do this? By listening to you and
helping you decide the best style which would best compliment
your gown or theme for your special day we feel this
strong commitment to helping you has made us grow over
the years. Our President literally feels like she is
truly walking down the aisle with each and every one
of our brides solving crises and helping along the way.
Although we are not saints, we do special things for
you like notifying you when your flower girl moms place
the order so we can take one more responsibility off
your shoulders. More than anything, we LOVE what we are
doing! You'll find the savings of going directly to the
manufacturer even better than before!
A personalized service because we are the manufacturer,
not like the mass market approach, we make each and
every dress to your specific wishes, allowing you to
make changes at usually no or a small extra cost. One
of these free changes can be the choice of 66 colors
and choosing a dress with or without sleeves. Other
choices, like a full array of 120+ or more premium
silk colors such as a rich chocolate silk - called
semi-sweet silk and many others with names such as
adriatic silk like the sea, waterfall silk like a pool,
apple green silk or raisin silk can make your flower
girl or ring bearer dressed to the nines for just a
small additional charge. Custom changes such as
plus sizing or changing the base color are very low
in fee - usually $15 to $35 dollars. |
Our newly designed web site makes it easier to
navigate. Here we have added some unique features which will
help you navigate our site rather easily and place your order. Of
course we have our chat line where you can find someone in
the office at most times of the day and night- just CLICK TO
CHAT. We are adding new features like 3-D enhancements and
getting a peak at how your child will look in your creation
and even allowing them to "Walk Down the Aisle" will
be coming soon. We hope to be your choice to service your
needs. You'll find the savings of going directly to the manufacturer
even better than before!
Every dress or suit is made to order. We do not
charge for short sleeves or sleeveless dresses as they are
the same price. We keep a minimum of 66 colors in stock and
an additional 120+ seasonal colors. Our dresses are made locally
at our own factory in Florida and we do not import our dresses
from overseas. They are VERY full, individually sewn and made
extremely well with the finest fabrics and trims and come with
their own crinoline. Boy's suits include everything except
the socks (which can be purchased individually). Nothing is
half - done here. When we make our dresses they represent what
you see on the internet. We sell to a limited number of stores
to keep our prices low and do not attend the bridal market
to avoid that overhead. We do our best to ensure that you receive
impeccably made goods and it our greatest desire that our policy
is not taken advantage of. However, our liberal policy of the
past has to change as we feel that we have had our policy taken
advantage of.
We do fantastic work and since 1982. Every dress
or suit is made to order. We do not want our dresses to be
returned to stock as this will interfere with us keeping our
prices low. We have had only 4 returns due to workmanship problems
and corrected them immediately. When asked what is the best
thing about us, we are always answered with positive answers
such as "your selection is great and your prices are fantastic".
We do not make dresses on a whim so a bride can make up her
mind what she would like to choose. We are impressed with our
record of thrilled customers. Just check out our RAVES And
GALLERY page and see what fellow customers are saying.
We are proud that we were the first apparel company on the
internet back in 1994 and have made great strives to bring
the best to you on the internet. We have had great success
selling to over 1900 stores, but in order to have a better
quality of life and not travel as much, we sell to a very limited
number of stores now. Our cancellation and return policies
are strict and are detailed below including cancellations,
repairs, upgrades and sizing exchanges:
WHAT OUR GUARANTEE COVERS: Sales
are made to order so check your invoice carefully as we are
not responsible for mistakes in your invoice. Same day cancellations
that are called in by 10 pm of the date of your order are not
subject to a cancellation fee. Afterward, a cancellation fee
of $50. per dress or suit will occur up until 3 days of your
order counting the day of your order. After 3 days,
counting the day of your order, regardless of the time placed,
we will not accept cancellations. If your order is
placed on a Monday for instance, it must be cancelled by Wednesday
by 10PM. FURTHER, ANY CANCELLATION MUST BE MADE IN WRITING
BY EMAIL AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION OF THAT CANCELLATION.
Failure to do so will result in the refusal of a credit to
your account. Although you may call in a cancellation you must
still put it in writing. We will continue to guarantee our
workmanship. If you are unhappy with the quality of our product
with a legitimate complaint please call us within
24 hours of receipt of the garment and we will immediately
repair the dress or make a new one for you. Pegeen will - if
a repair is due to our fault - will reimburse you up to the
amount of $9.50 once we have reinspected your outfit and determined
it was a mistake in manufacturing. We will NOT pay
for any other upgraded shipment regardless of the time to your
wedding. If you ship it at a higher rate, it is at
your expense. Ship Returns Ground only. We will credit
your account once you have sent in your outfit for return.
Your item will be repaired within 72 hours and sent immediately
back on its way to you. Inspect your outfits carefully.
All irregularity like a missing button or a stain from shipping,
etc. must be reported to us within 24 HOURS of receipt of goods
to receive a replacement. Any other problems reported after
1 day will not be accepted. We also ask that if your outfit
is returned to us that you try to use the original box, if
in good condition. PLEASE do not just throw it in a box or
you will be charged a fee of $25 for ironing and maintenance.
Outfits must be returned to us in perfect condition to be accepted
for sizing exchanges. We don't take a return after your event
has occurred. These dresses, except for sale dresses, are special
orders.
WHAT WE WILL NOT COVER: Orders shipped
out of the United States are not accepted for returns under
any condition. We do not allow exchanges on special
fit or custom changes. Your package may also be subject to
upgrade charges should either labor or material shortages,
or any act of God, Homeland Security Issue or Weather cause
any delay. Upgrade charges consist of any 1 Day, 2 Day or
3 Day shipment that needs to be added to your package to
get your package to you in time. Since our shipper charges
Dimensional Weight these charges can run from an additional
$46. to over $120. Think twice before asking for air shipments.
Very Important information concerning larger
sizes (size 12 and larger). Some of our dresses, especially
those in the larger size ranges, in particular size 12 and
especially plus size dresses may mean that pattern modifications
must be made. For instance, if a sleeve is used, they
are frequently cut down in size so that the weight of them
does not interfere with the flow of the dress. THIS IS
PARTICULARILY true with dresses covered in pearls and also
pintucks and pearls. If you have questions on this, please
contact us since we make modifications with the garments patterns
based on the weight of these larger sizes.
ABOUT SILK: We
use 100% Natural Silk Dupioni and Silk Shantung in all our
Silk Garments. Silk is a natural protein fibre, some forms
of which can be woven into textiles. Since it is a natural
fibre, it may contain irregularities such as bumps and lines.
The silk fibers come from the cocoon and are gathered before
the moth hatches. These larger size farmed worms produce larger
cocoons that can result in thread filaments up to a mile long.
The raw silk is then processed into natural silk fibers. Silk,
like wool or hair is a natural protein fiber. Being a natural
fiber, silks have irregularities or slubs, uneven weaves and
variations in the weaving. These slubs are part of the beauty
of the natural silk fabric. Silk has the luster, texture and
sensual appeal unmatched by any other fiber. It can be ironed
on high, may not be washed and when dry cleaning, it must be
dry cleaned in a non-wet method. Most dry cleaners will
know how to properly dry clean. DRIVE BY dry cleaners (those
who have a dry cleaning plant pick up garments and drop them
by a store front) do not. We are not responsible for dry cleaning.
We do not reimburse or take responsibility for outside alterations.
The appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like
structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract
incoming light at different angles, thus producing different
colors. Thus, we do not allow returns in our silk dresses or
suits.
Embroidery may sometimes change! Due
to the nature of embroidery and the fast improvements, we reserve
the right to make changes to embroidery especially because
the machinery is constantly improving. The number of
stitches per inch for example are constantly going up. ALSO,
please note that design changes to some of the embroideries
do occur because of larger sizes - for example our Gunievere
dress which for smaller sizing is one design but larger is
another (they can not be enlarged). If this does occur,
we reserve the right to make changes to your Monogram or dress
design due to the number of stiches we require for the embroidery. Some
designs of embrodery will change due to the nature of the machines
used - and we reserve the right to make changes without notice.
We ship from a Monday thru Saturday schedule. When
we give you a ship date the date represents the week we
will be shipping you .... sometimes though, shipping can run
as late as 2 - 3 days into the following week*, as sometimes
shipping constaints can happen due to materials or sheer volume. Please
see special information below about for April/June and August/October
Weddings. We do not pay for upgrades in shipping. PLEASE
ORDER ACCORDINGLY as we advise you to place your order as early
as possible. We are pretty fast however getting orders
out but we will not RUSH shipments as that means putting aside
other promise dates over yours. However, we have done several
things to smooth out those heavy weekends, like early ordering
discounts, and try when ever possible to ship you in advance
of your ship week so we can minimize shipping notices as this
takes time away from our duties. This is not a fact,
this is just what we attempt to do.
A special note about orders for Heavy Wedding
Season (April/June) and Late Summer/FALL WEDDINGS (Hurricane
Season) : This is the busiest time of the year
and delays can happen up to two weeks AFTER your promise
week. We suggest you place your order 12 weeks in advance
at the MINIMUM. The shipping dates your are given are
an estimate of shipping dates. However, orders
can run later than your promised week. Please
place your orders accordingly. We don't give refunds
and we don't pay for air shipments.
We do not refund for Cold Feet, Homeland
Security Issues or Acts of God. PEGEEN will NOT pay
for shipping upgrades do to delays due to natural causes
or Homeland security issues; those charges would have to
be incurred by the customer. If you want your order expedited
we will charge your credit card manually for the upgraded
services.
SIZING GUARANTEE: You must provide
measurements to us when you place the order. DO NOT EXAGERATE
THE MEASUREMENTS AND MAKE THEM ACCURATE. WE WILL DO THE CALCUATIONS
FOR GROWTH - WE ARE VERY GOOD AT IT! You can do this when ordering
on the page where you put your shipping information in the
SPECIAL MESSAGE box. If you have any problems with
sizing you can exchange to dress for just the charge of the
shipping. If, after receiving your measurements, we decide
we need to make it in a particular size or perhaps you need
a Special Fit and you decide on not going with our decision
then that order is not allowed to be exchanged for size or
returned for any other reason. If you do not provide measurements
to us and just pick a size, the dress is not returnable. Our
fit is pretty fantastic and as long as you use our chart you
should have no problem. Sizing exchanges are allowed however
so long as we have enough time to make the change. This obviously
is not for someone who needs a minor alteration but for the
customer who orders an outfit in advance of the wedding and
then find there was a growth spurt. If your outfit is purchased
for an event in the future, we ask that you carefully inspect
the outfit, try it on the child and then hang it up in a darken
closet to prevent fading. Please try the outfit back on 4-6
weeks before the event and make certain you have no sizing
problems. Exchanges are only charged a shipping fee. Since
we are relying on you to send correct measurements PEGEEN will
not pay for freight in or out for sizing exchanges. SIZING
EXCHANGE PROCEDURE : Call us for the address for your return.
YOU MUST GET A RETURN AUTORIZATION. Outfits must be returned
to us in perfect condition to be accepted for sizing exchanges.If
you ask us to remake a 2nd dress for you in a different size,
this second choice is not returnable under any circumstances
and any applicable upgrade in shipment to reach you in time
will apply. Sizing guarantee does not apply to overseas orders
or orders placed for countries outside of the United States. Please
note, sometimes, in our rush to get our orders out, the girls
may put a wrong size ticket on a dress. However, you
can call the office and we will tell you what size was hand
cut as the list is always right. Last, we may sometimes
place two tickets on your dress if it is a combination size. Lift
up the size ticket and you will see the second size ticket
underneath it.
RUSH ORDERS : Orders for weddings that
are placed within 45 days of wearing date (plus the additional
shipping days to your zone; i.e. CA is 6 business days & 2
weekend days, therefore zone 8 is considered a rush within
53 days)) are considered RUSH orders and are excluded from
the above cancellation Policy and may not be returned or exchanged
for any reason. In addition, if you place an order with us
and ask us to expedite the shipment so it ships in less than
our 4 week turn around, then they may also not be cancelled
under any circumstances. This usually happens when you place
an order with us and ask for a shipping upgrade such as overnight
- we jump through hoops to change our schedule around to accommodate
you. Therefore the 3 day cancellation policy is not effective
for these types of orders. If you rush an order and our shipper
fails to get it to you in, PEGEEN will still hold you responsible
for the payment in full as well as the shipping charges and
the order will not be subject to cancellation, void, or refund
nor will PEGEEN compensate you in any way. Further, your order
may be subject to any applicable expedited charges in order
for you to receive it in time as our shipping date is only
the true estimate of shipping and may not account for material
or labor shortages causing delays. We try to schedule you in
our calendar as quickly as possible but there may be up to
one or two weeks from the week following your planned ship
week. At that point, we will upgrade as per our original instructions
to you placed in your subject line of your order confirmation. UNLIKE
OTHER COMPANIES, WE WILL GO OUT OF OUR WAY BY TAKING RUSH ORDERS because
we realize that things happen and the order is not placed in
time, or most particularly, because the child is Plus Size
and it was hard to find someone, anyone, to help. We may
not have time for you to confirm the color of your dress and
do not guarantee the color will look the same as on a monitor,
that is why you should get a swatch first to approve. Manually,
we look at each order and do our utmost to assure that your
order is processed correctly & quickly BUT if we made the
dress for you in a rush and the color is wrong because you
couldn't get a swatch to you or something similar like we inaccurately
cut your style, we have to attribute this to the fact that
we are rushing your order and human mistakes can be made. This
rarely happens but, once or twice a year it can to a rush order
and fact of the matter is that we will NOT have the opportunity
to correct it nor give you a refund. This is the responsibility
you take by making your order so close to your wearing date. THEREFORE
under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can you return your order or get a refund.
A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FLOWERS: MOST
OF OUR FLOWERS ARE HAND MADE, HAND ROLLED BY ARTISIANS IN TAWAIN
OF 100% SILK HABOT. THEY ARE FANTASTIC TOO! HOWEVER,
WE ARE AT MERCY SUPPLY OF THE TIME TO MAKE THEM AND THE TIME
ON WATER, SO FROM TIME TO TIME SOME FLOWERS (BACK FLOWERS,
TRAILING ROSES AND NOELLE ROSES) ARE SUBSTITUTED WITH AN EQUAL
OR USUALLY UPGRADED FLOWER.
EXPRESS RUSH: CUSTOMERS WHO NEED AN
OUTFIT IN 14 DAYS OR LESS WILL HAVE A SURCHARGE OF $50 for
each outfit PLUS AIR CHARGES
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ORDER IN A TIMLY FASHION!
SPECIAL INFORMATION ABOUT HURRICANE SEASON.
Our company is based in Florida and Hurricane season has caused
our staff considerable strain in past seasons. The season lasts
from June through November. These are also busy wedding months.
We always try to stay on top of the schedule during this time
but it is sometimes inevitable for delays up to 2-3 weeks to
occur during hurricane season. At that point, we may, based
on your wedding date, put other orders ahead of yours but will
still get your dress to you in time. We will not always
be able to notify you of when this happens because of making
the priority getting orders out and rearranging schedules and
production but hope you understand that we like keeping our
staff low and put our dollars into the girls who sew for us. Therefore
you are not paying for a heavy office staff. We appreciate
your business and truly we are working very LONG hours during
such storms whether they occur in Florida OR in another area
- when storms happen or are about to happen, our shipper requests
that we may delay shipping to certain areas. No sense
in your order sitting in a Distribution Center that may just
have adverse weather conditions of their own.
PRIVACY POLICY: We do not rent nor share
our list. Any information we obtain from you we guard like
Fort Knox. |
