What are some helpful hints for trying on dance wear in case I need to return/exchange?
Footwear
- Make sure you are standing on a clean, dry surface. Refunds will not be approved for returned footwear that has been scuffed or soiled in any way.
- Make sure your feet are clean and dry to prevent imprints from being left on the inside of the shoes.
- Pointe Shoes - Satin is easily scratched/stained. Take extra care to ensure your surface is clean and dry. DO NOT sew ribbons or elastics onto pointe shoes until you confirm the fit of the footwear.
- Do not wear outside. Pavement, cement, and dirt will ruin the soles and refunds will not be approved.
- Tap Shoes – Do not tap around the house as taps will get scratched even from just a few shuffles. When trying on and testing out tap shoes we highly recommend trying them on carpet to prevent the taps being scratched in case the shoes need to be returned. Shoes returned with scratched taps will not be accepted.
Bodywear
- Tags must not be removed and must remain fully intact. Garments cannot have makeup or deodorant stains and cannot be altered in any way. Wear undergarments when trying on bodywear.
- Tights - CANNOT be returned once packaging has been opened. This is for hygienic purposes and exceptions can/will not be made. Feel free to email us at hello@dancersclosetaustin.com with sizing questions or clarification if you aren't sure the size will fit. We are happy to help you select the correct size.
