FAQ: Couture & Statement · Curated Sense

What kinds of statement pieces are stocked?

Sculptural silhouettes, hand-embellished evening wear, runway-influenced occasion dresses, unconventional jewelry, and limited-edition collaborations. These aren't mass-produced — most are made-to-order or in small editions.

Are couture pieces returnable?

Made-to-order and custom-altered pieces are typically final sale — that's flagged on the product page before checkout. Stock items follow each brand's standard return window.

How long do made-to-order statement pieces take to ship?

Lead times for made-to-order range from 2 to 12 weeks depending on the maker. Each product page lists the brand's current lead time before you add to cart.
