How long before my event do I need to reserve my outfit?
How long before my event do I need to start doing fittings?
The week of your event, or as soon as you receive your outfit if you choose to have it delivered to you. After taking your measurements when you made your reservation, our experienced team prepares your outfit. Then, a fitting a few days before your event provides the opportunity to make any final alterations, if needed, to ensure a perfect fit.
How long does an in-store fitting take?
Times can vary depending on the number of people being dressed for the event. Please plan about 1 hour. Our team of professionals is very efficient and used to working with tight turnaround times. That is how we can offer full service in under an hour.
Do I need to schedule an in-store appointment for fittings and alterations?
No. If you reserved your outfit already, simply come to our store during opening hours the week of your event.

Online
How long before my event do I need to order my outfit?
Ideally, as soon as you know the date. If the event is during wedding season (May to September), We recommend that you order your outfit about 3 months in advance. As delivery times vary by region, you should place your order no later than 10 business days* before the event.
*Weekends excluded.
Can I receive a sample of the fabric for my outfit?
Of course! Contact our customer service team, and we will send you the desired samples. A perfect fit also means choosing the suitable fabric for your comfort and the event’s dress code.
How can I change my order?
To change your measurements or delivery address, contact our customer service or email us: info@classy.ca. For any other request, or if your event is less than 10 days away, contact us as soon as possible. Your satisfaction is our number one priority.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes, but fees may apply depending on the timing of the cancellation. For rentals cancelled 15 days or more before the event, you can transfer the $50 (non-refundable) deposit paid at the time of reservation. However, for rentals cancelled less than 15 days before the event date, the deposit is both non-refundable and non-transferable because the rented clothing has already been prepared and reserved for you.
If the outfit has already been delivered, no refund can be issued.
For online orders - If the event is cancelled before the outfit is delivered and you inform us at least 15 days before, you will receive a full refund.
Is your online payment system secure?
Customers can trust transactions on our site, which uses PayPal technology. Protecting your confidential data is of the utmost importance to Classy.
When will you charge the order amount to my credit card?
It may take up to 72 hours for your card to be charged, depending on the terms and conditions of the applicable banking institutions.
Why do I need to pay for general insurance?
We take the utmost care of our formal wear. A non-refundable $9 general insurance fee is included with each rental. This mandatory fee covers stains and the normal wear and tear of the borrowed clothing. Note that in the event of loss or irreparable damage, you are responsible for paying the cost of replacing the article of clothing in question.
