Crucial Ordering Instructions
Please read the following information carefully before placing your order:
Division Selection:
- Ensure you select the correct division before checkout. We are unable to make changes if the wrong division is chosen.
- Pre-Teen Division Note: There are two separate tabs for Pre-Teen: one for a kid's size dress and one for an adult size dress. Please confirm your selection before ordering.
Discount Code and Deadline:
- Delegates registered for the 2026 America’s Ideal Miss Pageant will receive a discount code directly from the America's Ideal Miss National Office.
- You must use this code at the time of purchase to receive the discount. We cannot apply the discount code (or issue a refund for the difference) after an order has been completed.
- Deadline: To guarantee size and availability at the discounted rate, you must order by February 27th, 2026.
- All orders placed after February 27th, 2026, will be subject to limited sizes, availability, and retail pricing.
- Unfortunately, changing your delivery address after placing your order isn't an option. At best, we can hold your dress at the store for pick-up, but we can not ship it to a new address.
Multiple Dresses and Shipping:
- If you are ordering more than one dress, you must place two separate orders, as we cannot combine them. Failure to do so will delay your shipping, and we will contact you to correct the order.
- Please use a physical address for shipping. We ship via UPS and cannot deliver to a post office box (P.O. Box). Providing a P.O. Box address may delay delivery.
- Billing and Shipping Dates: Your credit/debit card will be billed for the full amount when the order is placed. Dresses will not ship until July 2026.
- We or the National Office will send an email notification once dresses are ready to ship. Shipping times may vary based on location and competition division. Dresses will ship from Columbus, Georgia.
Payment Options and Afterpay:
- Due to the discount offered, Afterpay is not an available payment option. If Afterpay is used, your order will be refunded, and you will be required to place a new order using a different form of payment.
Contestant Information:
- You are responsible for including the contestant's full name and division (as listed on the registration form at the National Office) in the "contestant name" field on the order form.
Sizing and Alterations:
- All purchases are final. No refunds, returns, or exchanges.
- Sizes are guaranteed only if ordered by February 27th, 2026. Orders placed after this date are subject to size and availability limitations.
- We strongly recommend using accurate, professional measurements against the provided size chart (posted to the right of the numerical sizes) to determine your standard size. Custom measurements are not available.
- It is highly unlikely that your measurements will match one size exactly. If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up, as dresses can be altered but cannot be let out if too small.
- You are responsible for any alterations needed after receiving the dress. Your size cannot be changed after placing the order.
Eligibility and Withdrawal:
- This offer is strictly for national finalists registered for the 2026 America’s Ideal Miss Pageant. All other orders will be declined.
- If you decide not to compete at the National Pageant for any reason, your purchase is non-refundable. Your dress will not be shipped until after the National Pageant, but before August 17, 2026. We reserve the right to change your size if you are not competing at the national pageant.
We appreciate your understanding of these terms and look forward to seeing you in July on the National stage!
