Frequently asked questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Everything you need to know about shipping, returns, and more.
Are the dresses true to size?
Our dresses are designed for a figure-enhancing fit, but sizing may vary slightly depending on the fabric and style. To ensure the perfect fit, please refer to our Size Guide on each product page.
If you're between sizes, consider:
- For fitted dresses with minimal stretch, opt for the larger size for a comfortable fit.
- For dresses with stretch fabric, you may size down for a more sculpted look.
Still unsure? Our customer support team is happy to help you find the ideal size!
Do You Offer Free Shipping?
We offer free shipping on all orders, with no minimum purchase required.
How Long Does Shipping Take?
At Sixteen Layers, we aim to process and deliver every order as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Orders placed before 11:59 PM (CET/CEST) are processed within 1–2 business days. Orders placed after this time will be processed on the next business day.
Once your order has been processed and shipped, delivery usually takes 6–8 business days. The total estimated shipping time is 7–10 business days.
How do I care for my dresses
To maintain the quality and longevity of your dress, follow these care instructions:
Washing: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle inside a laundry bag.
Drying: Do not wring. Lay flat to air dry in the shade to prevent fabric distortion.
Ironing: If needed, steam or use a low-heat setting on the reverse side. Fabrics like satin, chiffon, and silk are delicate and can be damaged by excessive heat.
Storage: Hang on a padded hanger or fold in a garment bag to avoid creases.
By following these steps, your dress will stay flawless for every occasion!
Can I return my order?
Yes. You may request a return within 30 days of receiving your order. Items must be unused, unworn and meet our return conditions. Exchanges are available for a different size or colour, subject to availability.
Please see our Refund & Return Policy for full details.
Are the dresses lined or sheer?
Our dresses are made from premium fabrics with designs that provide a flattering fit. Most styles are lined for added coverage, while certain fabrics such as chiffon or lace may include intentional sheer details as part of the design.
For figure-hugging or lighter fabric dresses, we recommend seamless nude undergarments or shapewear for a smooth finish.
Lining and fabric opacity vary by style. Where relevant, this information may be included on the product page. If you need additional details about a specific item, our support team is happy to assist.
