Last Updated: March 27, 2025
At Tiaras and Tulle, we want your child to love their new dress as much as you do! We are committed to providing high-quality children’s dresses, such as our fairy princess and tutu dresses, and we comply with the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ). Please read our Returns Policy carefully to understand your rights and our process for returns.
1. Returns for Faulty or Defective Products
1.1 We stand by the quality of our products. If your child’s dress (or any other item) is faulty, defective, not as described, or unfit for its intended purpose, you are entitled to a remedy under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
1.2 Eligible Issues Include:
- Manufacturing defects (e.g., torn seams, missing sequins, or broken stitching).
- The product does not match the description or images on our website (e.g., incorrect color or design).
- The dress is not fit for its intended purpose (e.g., it falls apart during normal use).

1.4 We cover all return shipping costs for faulty or defective products, ensuring no additional cost to you.
2. No Change-of-Mind Returns

- The dress doesn’t fit as expected (please refer to our sizing guide before ordering).
- You or your child changed your mind about the color, style, or design.
- The dress was purchased for a one-time event and is no longer needed.
