Choosing the Right Outfit and Heels
How to choose the right size Preencess dress?
To choose your size, measure your bust, waist, and hip circumference with a tape measure. Then compare these measurements to the indications on the product sheet for the model in question. A very fitted dress requires more precision than a fluid or stretchy cut. If your measurements fall between two sizes, generally choose the larger size for a less stretchy material. Also consult the dress length and cut information to anticipate how it will fall with your shoes.
Which dress to choose for a wedding, a gala, or an evening event?
An evening dress is chosen according to the formality level of the event, the venue, and the desired look. A long, draped, or close-fitting dress is particularly suitable for a gala, a ceremony, or an elegant wedding. For a cocktail party, a birthday, or a dinner, a midi or short dress offers a more modern style. Models with rhinestones, lace, open backs, or floral details attract more attention. Discover our collection of evening dresses to compare the lengths, cuts, and finishes available.
What is the difference between a long dress, a midi dress, and a short dress?
A long dress typically reaches the ankles or near the floor and is particularly suitable for ceremonies and formal events. A midi dress stops between the knee and the ankle, offering a balance between elegance and freedom of movement. A short dress highlights the legs more and is suitable for evenings, birthdays, and outings. The choice also depends on your height, comfort, and the height of your heels. A slit can visually lengthen the leg, while a full skirt creates a more romantic silhouette.
Which dress style best suits my figure?
A draped or wrap dress accentuates the waist while providing flexibility around the stomach and hips. A bodycon cut highlights curves, while a flared dress balances volumes and allows for easier movement. A square neckline structures the upper body, while an open-back model draws attention to the back and shoulders. The best choice is one that allows you to walk, sit, and move naturally. Garment measurements and fabric elasticity are more reliable than the size name.
How to choose the right heel height?
High heels should be chosen according to your experience, the duration of the event, and the type of flooring. A kitten heel or a block heel offers more stability for walking or standing for long periods. A stiletto refines the silhouette and provides a more dressed-up look. A platform reduces the feeling of arch despite a significant height. Also check the toe shape, the presence of a strap, and ankle support. Our collection of women's heels allows you to compare several heights and styles.
Cuts, Materials, and Features
What materials are used for Preencess dresses?
Materials vary by model and are indicated on each product sheet. The catalog may include polyester, elastane, lace, mesh, denim, and satin-look fabrics. A stretchy material better hugs the silhouette, while a structured fabric better maintains the cut. Some models also feature rhinestones, embroidery, crystals, or embossed flowers. Always check the composition and care instructions before ordering, as two visually similar dresses may have different drapes, transparencies, and elasticities.
What is the difference between a bandage dress and a classic bodycon dress?
A bandage dress is generally designed with a dense, stretchy material that structures the silhouette and provides strong support. It hugs curves more firmly than a classic bodycon dress. A traditional bodycon cut may use a thinner, softer, and more comfortable fabric for long-term wear. The bandage dress is particularly suitable for cocktails and evenings where a sculpted silhouette is desired. Before choosing, check the thickness of the material, its elasticity, the presence of a lining, and the measurements associated with each size.
Are Preencess dresses lined?
The presence of a lining depends on the model and must be checked in its description. A lining generally improves the opacity, comfort, and drape of a dress, especially when the main material is thin, light, or made of lace. Some dresses only use lining in specific areas to maintain a transparent effect or a play of materials. To avoid unpleasant surprises, consult the photographs, composition, and details on the product sheet. Underwear choices should also be adapted to the cut, color, and level of transparency.
Are the colors true to the photographs on the website?
We strive to present colors, textures, and finishes as accurately as possible. However, a slight variation may occur depending on your screen's brightness, settings, and the lighting used during photography. Satin, rhinestones, and metallic materials particularly reflect light, which can alter their appearance depending on the angle. Consult multiple images of the model and verify the exact name of the selected color before ordering. The variant displayed in your cart is the one that will be prepared.
How can I find out the exact length of a dress or the height of a heel?
The available dimensions are indicated on the product sheet for the model concerned, as they can vary from one product to another. For a dress, check the length, cut, elasticity, the presence of a slit, and the measurements associated with the size. For a shoe, consult the shoe size, toe shape, strap type, any platform, and the heel height when specified. Worn photographs allow for evaluating proportions, but product measurements remain the most reliable reference for anticipating its actual look.
Delivery and Order Tracking
What are the delivery times in France?
Orders are generally prepared and shipped within one to two business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Shipping then takes approximately six to eight business days. The total estimated delivery time is therefore seven to ten business days. Orders received before 3 PM, Paris time, may be processed faster depending on logistics department activity. These deadlines are estimates and may vary depending on product availability, order volume, or an incident encountered during transit.
How can I track my order after it has been shipped?
After your purchase, you will receive a first email confirming your order registration. A second message is sent when the package is shipped. This email contains your order tracking number and a link to check its progress. Tracking may take a few hours to display its first movement. Also check your spam folder if the message appears to be missing. If the status remains unchanged for several days or indicates an anomaly, contact customer service with your order number.
Returns, Exchanges, and Refunds
What is the deadline for returning an item?
The right of withdrawal can be exercised within fourteen days of receiving your package. This period allows you to request a return or exchange without having to justify your decision. The request must be sent to contact@preencess.com within this period, with your order number and the reference of the item concerned. After validation, the product must be returned in accordance with the instructions provided. An item worn beyond normal try-on, soiled, damaged, or incomplete may be refused, as it can no longer be resold as new.
What conditions must a returned item meet?
The item must be returned in its original condition, complete, clean, and unworn, with its packaging, any accessories, and its purchase invoice. A dress must show no traces of makeup, odor, stains, snags, or damage to ornaments. A pair of shoes must have been tried on only on a clean surface so that the soles are not marked. The product packaging must be placed in suitable shipping packaging. These conditions allow for proper control of the return and avoid refusal due to depreciation of the item.
How to request a return or exchange?
Send your request to contact@preencess.com, indicating your order number, the item reference, and the desired solution. Customer service verifies the eligibility of the request and provides return instructions. After validation, the package must be sent to LMS CORPORATION, 102 Grande Rue, 72000 Le Mans, France. Keep proof of shipment and choose tracked shipping until the case is closed. A package returned without order identification may result in additional delays for inspection, exchange, or refund.
When will I receive my refund?
After receipt and inspection of the item, the refund is initiated via the payment method used during the order. The announced processing time generally varies from seven to fourteen days depending on the banking institution. This period begins after the return inspection and may therefore differ from the date you deposited the package. A card payment is credited back to the account associated with that card. A payment made by a payment provider is refunded by the same provider. Voluntary return shipping costs are not reimbursed.
What if my item arrives damaged or not as described?
Contact contact@preencess.com as soon as you discover the problem, including your order number, a precise description, and clear photographs of the item, packaging, and shipping label. These elements help verify a defect, a model error, an incorrect size, or damage caused during transport. Depending on the inspection results, a replacement, exchange, or refund may be offered. Do not wear, wash, or repair the item before hearing back from customer service, as any modification may complicate its assessment.
Fitting, Use, and Care
How to try on a dress without compromising a potential return?
Try on the dress on clean skin, without recent makeup, perfume, self-tanner, or any product likely to leave a trace. Remove jewelry that could snag lace, mesh, or ornaments. Fully open the zipper before putting on the garment and do not force seams if the cut seems too tight. Keep the packaging and accessories nearby. Limit trying it on to the time needed to check the size, fit, and freedom of movement. Use during an evening event or a photo shoot no longer constitutes normal trying on.
How to wash a delicate or embellished dress?
The garment's care label is paramount, as recommendations depend on its composition. For lace, mesh, rhinestones, and applied flowers, hand washing in cold water is generally the safest method when permitted. Use a small amount of mild detergent, avoid prolonged soaking, and do not wring the fabric. Flat drying better protects shapes and ornaments than tumble drying. A highly structured, heavily decorated, or otherwise indicated dress should be entrusted to a professional.
How to care for a satin dress?
A satin dress must be protected from friction, high temperatures, and perfumed products that can leave marks. Turn the garment inside out before cleaning and respect the temperature indicated on the label. If ironing is allowed, use low heat and place a clean cloth between the iron and the dress to limit shiny marks. Avoid hanging very heavy models by thin straps for too long. Store the dress in a dry place, without excessive compression, to preserve its drape and the regular appearance of the material.
How to care for a stretchy or bandage dress?
A stretchy material must be washed with care to maintain its elasticity and support. Use cold or lukewarm water according to the label and avoid strong wringing. Excessive fabric softener can damage elastic fibers. Tumble drying is not recommended when the composition does not allow it, as heat can alter the garment's shape. Dry the dress flat or on a suitable hanger. When storing, avoid folding it under heavy clothes or pulling on seams and closures.
How to preserve heels with rhinestones, satin, or embroidery?
After each use, gently remove dust with a dry, clean cloth. For satin and embroidery, dab the affected area rather than rubbing. Rhinestones should not be exposed to large amounts of water, solvents, or abrasive products. Store each shoe separately in a dust bag to prevent ornaments from scratching the other shoe. Regularly check the straps, soles, and heel tips. Early repair by a cobbler can prevent minor wear from further weakening the pair.
How to make heels more comfortable during an evening out?
Wear the pair a few times at home on a clean surface to identify pressure points without marking the soles. The shoe should support the foot without compressing the toes or allowing the heel to slip. A block heel, kitten heel, or platform generally offers more stability than a very thin stiletto. Adjust the straps correctly before going out and plan for breaks if the event lasts several hours. Comfort depends as much on the toe shape and arch as on the heel height.
Payment and Security
What payment methods are accepted on Preencess?

If the option does not appear in the payment area, the order must be settled with another available method. No payment schedule should be considered accepted before its official confirmation.

To enhance your security, make your purchase from a personal device, verify that you are on preencess.com, and never communicate a bank validation code to another person.
Why might my payment be refused?
A payment can be refused due to a spending limit being reached, insufficient funds, an error in the information entered, or a security check performed by the bank. Check the card number, its expiration date, the security code, and the billing address. A validation request may also appear in your banking application. If the refusal persists, use another available payment method or contact your bank. Preencess cannot know the confidential reason for a refusal decided directly by the bank or provider.
How is my personal data used?
