Dressbarn allows you to return items within 30 days of delivery by mail. The retailer issues store credit rather than refunds to your original payment method.

How returns work

To return an item, you must first contact Dressbarn's support team to request return authorization. After authorization, you will receive an unpaid shipping label to print and attach to your package. You are responsible for paying the return shipping cost. Mail your return within 30 days of delivery and keep your proof of postage and tracking number.

Exclusions and restrictions

Items must be unworn, unwashed, and have original tags attached. Dressbarn does not publish a list of excluded items or product categories that cannot be returned.

Refunds

Dressbarn issues store credit rather than monetary refunds. The store credit becomes available within 5 to 7 business days after the retailer inspects your return. You can use this credit for an exchange or future purchases.
