We offer a customisation service with our Atelier. We know that sometimes the perfect dress might mean raising the hem, adding a high neck or long sleeves and a high back. Omitting the lining, making it opaque, changing the colour, adding a belt. Whatever it is, we can do it! We have customised gowns for ladies since 2016 and will work with you and our vendors to realise your perfect dress. An additional cost will apply.

You can find a rush order fee option on some of our Tailor made garments. Take note of our tailoring times for every garment, these times are important and take into account the gathering/availability of fabrics or the making of the fabric and the manufacturing.

Misc

We are an Australian owned and female operated company located in Sydney, NSW, Australia.

We currently do not have plans to open up a brick & mortar store, because operating as an online entity allows us the privelage of keeping our overheads low which flows onto our customers through competetive pricing for high quality garments and manufacturing.

We can spend more time on customer service, listening to you and implementing changes through the valuable feedback you provide. We love to have one on one interactions with our customers and after 7 years of operation know almost all of them by first name basis. This means our customers get specialised service tailored to them and their situation and when they take advantage of our free personalised service exchanges are easier and refunds are reduced because together we get the perfect fit right the first time.

Our HQ is located from Sydney NSW and we dispatch from there.

We have two warehouses overseas that manufacture our label, some of our LXTBTQ LABEL items will ship direct from there.

All of our vendors also manufacture in China and your package can sometimes be sent direct to you bypassing our warehouse when you have made a rush order and we’ve had your dress tailored for you by the label. We will always ship it to you direct from them to ensure on time delivery.

If our Australian HQ is out of stock for an item you’ve ordered you can expect to recieve it from one of our international houses instead. This is at no extra charge to you and is always shipped express with DHL, USPS, TNT or FEDEX.

Your Portia And Scarlett tracking can show a UK warehouse address, a Canadian, an Australian, a Chinese or a USA location as these dresses can also be shipped from alternative warehouses.

As a small Australian business we have come across some websites selling counterfeit styles and using our photos and the photos of the labels we stock. Unfortunately due to the unregulated nature of our industry we can’t prevent this from happening.
When you purchase from our store you will often recieve follow up emails asking you for specific confirmation and details pertaining to you order. For our couture customers, special occasion and bridal customers our manager will always follow up your purchase with a phone call to ensure you size and measurements are correct before we dispatch or tailor your dress.

Please note that some Portia And Scarlett, Tinaholy and Tania Olsen styles are special order and will take between 8-12 weeks to tailor from the date of your order if it’s not in stock as ready to wear, if it’s a set of bridesmaid dresses or a wedding/couture dress then the turn around time is a minimum of 3 months.

Luxette Boutique is an official stockist of all of the labels we stock on our website.

As of March 2020, Luxette Boutique Hire has been closed for the foreseeable future. We decided to put a hold on the luxury dress and accessories consignment arm of our store and will revisit bringing this service to you in a user friendly and easy to navigate interface in the near future.
