Frequently Asked Questions

Cancellation policy concerning COVID-19
Due to COVID-19, many events have been cancelled or postponed. Since we know that our dresses and accessories play a part in your special events, we are offering our customers the option to cancel their order prior to shipment. If you need to cancel your order with us, we will offer a refund (minus a $5 cancellation fee) in store credit to use on a future order. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of shipping to our customers and then back again to us, we will not be able to offer any refunds on an order once it is shipped.

Why should I rent?
Renting special occasion clothes for your kids saves time and money. No need to search the internet or Facebook for hard to find styles and sizes, or wait weeks for made to match hair accessories. There is also no need to spend time reselling your children’s clothes after they are worn once. Get exactly what you want for your child’s photo shoot, wedding, or special event for a fraction of the retail or market value. We also provide free styling services to help you achieve the perfect look.
+ -
How long is a reservation?
Currently our reservations are for 5 or 10 days. Here is a typical timeline: Day 1 - Receive your rental; Day 2/3 - Try everything on; Day 4 - Use your items for your event; Day 5 - Return to UPS by noon. If you return day falls on a Sunday or holiday, return the next business day.
+ -
When should I make a reservation for something?
As many of the styles we carry are hard to find, reserve early for the best availability. Choose a start date that is 2 to 3 business days before your event.
+ -
The calendar is showing none of the dresses I would like to reserve are available this weekend. Why?
Most likely the item is already reserved for another customer.
+ -
I keep getting a pop-up message when I try to reserve that says “There are unvailable days between the selected dates”. What does that mean?
Turnover days are the days in between rental reservations for shipping and cleaning. The calendar may show an item is technically available (blue days on the calendar), but there may be too short of a timeframe for you to rent an item in between two other customers.
+ -
What brands do you carry?
Currently, we carry small-run couture brands and accessory designers such as Tutu du Monde, Nellystella, Dollcake, DOLLY Collection, Tea Princess, Modern Queen Kids, Fillyboo, Lazy Francis, Soapbox Kids and Well Dressed Wolf. We are always on the lookout for new and unique designers to add to our inventory.
+ -
What if my child accidentally stains or damages something?

We understand accidents happen! Most normal wear/tear isn’t an issue. We will do our best to repair and/or clean the item. Optional insurance is available to purchase on clothing items and some accessories. Insurance covers normal, minor wear and tear such as missing beads or sequins, snags in tulle, minor stains, detached buttons, stuck zippers, and broken straps due to strap hardware breakage. It does NOT cover major staining, tears or holes in fabric, blatant misuse of an item, or loss/non-return. You can be charged up to 200% of the retail or market value of an item, depending on the replacement cost.

What sizes do you carry?

We carry infant size 3 months to 16. We carry women's maternity styles in size XS to XL.
+ -
How do I know what size to reserve for my child?
Almost every item has a specific size chart included in the images on each product page. Any sizing notes will be included in the description for the item. If you still need additional help, be sure to Contact Us.
+ -
Can I keep my items longer than my rental period?
Maybe. If your event date changes, such as a photo shoot getting rescheduled, contact us and we may be able to extend your reservation depending on availability.
+ -
What if I don’t return my rental on time?
There is a $25 per day late fee for orders less than $100 and $50/day for orders over $100. If a problem arises, or your event date changes, such as a photo shoot getting rescheduled, contact us and we will see if we can make arrangements to help you.
+ -
What if I lose my rented items?
We understand life with children can be hectic. However, because some of our items are extremely hard to replace, you will be charged up to 200% of the retail or market value of an item, depending on the replacement cost.

+-
What if my items are wrinkled during shipping?
Steaming is the best way to remove wrinkles from these delicate items. Removing and hanging your items for a day before your session may also settle wrinkles. Otherwise, try fluffing in the dryer on low for a minute or two (make sure to include other clothing or towels so beads don’t fall off as a result of banging around a dryer). Cotton and silk fabrics may be ironed on low. Do not iron embellishments or tulle fabrics.
+ -
What if my items arrive damaged or don’t arrive at all?
Contact us immediately so we may help you with a replacement.
+ -
Do you ever sell any of your items?
Yes, we have clearance sales several times a year. When items get slightly damaged, start showing wear, or aren’t getting enough rental interest, remove them from inventory. You can sign up for our newsletter (on the bottom of our home page) to be the first to know when a sale is coming up. You can also follow our Instagram account (@raineyscloset) for up-to-date information about sales.
