Sizing & products

How do I choose the right size?

Check the size and fit information on the product page before ordering. Where garment measurements are shown, compare them with a similar item you already own or with your body measurements. Fit can vary by style, so use the information for the individual dress rather than relying only on the size you usually buy.

Can you help me choose a size?

Yes. Email contact@whitmorelanestore.com with the product name and your bust, waist, hip and height measurements. We can help you compare them with the information available for that style.

Why can fit vary between dresses?

Cut, fabric, stretch and intended silhouette all affect fit. A corset-style or body-skimming dress may fit differently from a relaxed or A-line style even when the size label is the same.

Are the colours shown online accurate?

We aim to show each colour and detail clearly through the product imagery. Colour can still look slightly different because of studio lighting and individual screen settings. Use all available product images when making your choice.

Orders & payments

Which payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept American Express, Apple Pay, Diners Club, Discover, Google Pay, JCB, Mastercard and Visa. Availability can vary by device and payment provider, and the final methods for your order appear at checkout. Payments are processed securely through Shopify and the selected provider. See our Payment Methods page for details.

Are prices shown in pounds and is VAT included?

UK store prices are shown in GBP (£). The basket and checkout display the final total, including applicable VAT and delivery charges, before you place the order. Standard tracked UK delivery is free.

Do I need an account to place an order?

No. You can complete checkout as a guest. If you choose to use an available customer account or express checkout, it may make future checkout and order review quicker.

I did not receive my order confirmation. What should I do?

Check your spam or promotions folder and confirm whether the payment completed. If the message is still missing, email us with the name and email address used at checkout and the approximate order time. Never send full card details or a security code.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Contact us as soon as possible with your order number and requested change. We will try to stop or amend the order, but cannot guarantee a change after dispatch has begun. Your statutory cancellation rights are explained in our Return & Refund Policy.

Shipping & delivery

Where do you deliver?

Whitmore Lane currently accepts orders for delivery to United Kingdom addresses only. The delivery options available for your address are shown at checkout.

Is UK shipping free?

Yes. Standard tracked UK shipping is free on every order, with no minimum spend.

How long will my order take?

The current overall estimate is 6–10 business days from the order date. Processing normally takes 1–2 business days, followed by 5–8 business days in transit. Orders placed before 2:00 PM GMT/BST, Monday to Friday, enter processing that business day. Delivery estimates are guides rather than guaranteed dates.

How can I track my order?

We send a dispatch confirmation with a tracking link or number to the email address used at checkout. It can take a little time for the first carrier scan to appear. If you have not received a dispatch email after the processing period, check your spam folder and contact us.

Why did only part of my order arrive?

Orders with more than one item may be dispatched in separate parcels and arrive on different days. Where available, tracking information is provided for each parcel. Contact us if you would like us to check the remaining item.

What if my parcel is late or marked delivered but missing?

Check with other people at the address, nearby safe places and neighbours first. If you still cannot locate it, email us with your order number and tracking details. We will investigate with the carrier and explain the appropriate remedy. You do not need to settle a carrier dispute yourself.

Returns & refunds

What is your return period?

For most online purchases, tell us within 14 days after the day you receive the goods if you wish to cancel. After notifying us, send the goods back within a further 14 days. This summary does not limit your rights under UK consumer law.

How do I start a return?

Email contact@whitmorelanestore.com with your name, order number and a clear statement that you wish to return or cancel. We will send the correct return destination and practical instructions. Do not send returns to our business address or published warehouse.

What condition must a returned item be in?

You may inspect and try on clothing as you would in a shop. Handle it with care and pack it securely. A lawful deduction may apply if handling beyond what is necessary to inspect the item has reduced its value. Please keep proof of postage.

Who pays the return postage?

For a change-of-mind return, you arrange and pay the direct return shipping cost. If an item is faulty, damaged on arrival, incorrect or not as described, we will cover reasonable return costs or arrange an appropriate method where the law requires.

Can I exchange a size or colour?

We do not currently promise direct exchanges. You can return an eligible item and place a separate order for the replacement size or colour. The new order is subject to the stock, price and delivery estimate shown at that time.

When will I receive my refund?

For a valid cancellation, we issue the refund without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving the returned goods or evidence that you sent them back, whichever is earlier. Refunds go to the original payment method unless agreed otherwise. Your payment provider may take additional time to show the credit.

What if my item is faulty, damaged or incorrect?

Email us with your order number and a description of the problem. Photos can help us investigate. We will explain the available remedy and return arrangements for your case. Sale items have the same statutory rights as full-price items.
