Dress Delivery in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has a dress code of its own: understated by day, deliberate at night, and almost always photographed. Here is how our dresses get to you and what to expect on arrival.

How your order reaches Los Angeles

• Tracked courier with signature on delivery, typically up to 7 business days.
• Shipping cost is calculated at checkout.
• Orders are dispatched from our warehouse in Calgary, Canada. Full delivery terms are on the shipping page.
• Same terms across the metro: Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Pasadena, Long Beach and Orange County.

What Los Angeles actually wears

The city's events are less formal than New York's and more varied than Miami's. Premieres, gallery openings, industry dinners and rooftop parties all ask for something considered but not stiff, and the evening cools quickly enough that bare shoulders become a decision rather than a default.

• A strong silhouette in a quiet colour beats embellishment here. Start with black dresses and read five ways to wear one.
• Slip and column shapes in satin for evening — see satin dresses.
• Corset and bustier bodices for occasions that call for structure: corset & bustier.
• Midi lengths travel best between daytime and evening: midi dresses.

If the invitation names a dress code, our guide to cocktail, black tie and formal explains what each one actually requires.

Sizing and returns

Measure at home with our ten-minute guide and compare with the size chart. Between two sizes on a structured piece, size up — a seam can be taken in, fabric cannot be added.

Returns within 14 days of delivery; return shipping is the customer's responsibility. Questions before ordering: info@the-clipse.com.
