We strive to keep our dresses in stock, but they are occasionally more popular than we anticipate! It can take many weeks for products to be restocked after they go out of stock. Our collections are seasonal, and some colours are limited edition, we recommend ordering sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment and to check this important task off your wedding to-do list. If your preferred items aren't in stock, you'll still have plenty of time to place a pre-order and have your dresses delivered in time for the big day.

Note: Seasonal colours are only available while supplies last and are marked as having limited inventory on the website, so they should be ordered as soon as possible.

Please contact our Customer Care Team if you have any questions concerning inventory availability.

Items that are in stock are immediately available for purchase and will be shipped according to the timelines listed on our Shipping & Delivery page.

Pre-order products are expected to be back in stock within the timeframe specified in the product description. Pre-order your desired items to assure that you'll be first in line when they're back in stock!

Note: Clearance products are available while quantities last and will not be replenished.

If you have any inventory-related questions, please contact our Customer Care Team, and we would be pleased to assist you!

The following tips should be shared with everyone who will be trying on Henkaa's Convertible Dresses and accessories (including yourself):

• Bra: Wear a strapless bra or bustier with a deep V in the front and a low back. For hygienic purposes, it is best to wear a bra for fittings. Please avoid wearing lace or heavily textured bras. We highly recommend adhesive bras like Henkaa’s Infinity Bra because they offer the most styling flexibility. 
• Underwear: Wear seamless underwear and/or Spanx and avoid thongs, lace or thick seamed underwear. To get a better idea of the ideal underwear, take a look at our SeemFree™ Hiphugger Panty.
• Shoes: Bring shoes that will be worn during the special event or a pair of high heels of similar height, as this will give you a better idea of where the dress will fall.
• Other Stuff: Please avoid wearing heavy deodorant and or perfumes. If your hair is longer than your shoulder, bring a hair tie or a hair clip to make it easier to style and see unique back styles.

Henkaa's plus size convertible dresses fit individuals sized 14-24. We also believe in equality pricing, which means all dresses of the same design are the same price, regardless of size.

For women sized 12 to 14 with a fuller bust and/or waistline, we do recommend that you consider a Plus size since the straps are longer which allows more flexibility with styling options.

For style inspiration, have a look at our Henkaa Style Gallery where Henkaanistas show off their unique take on truly making Henkaa Convertible Dresses their own. 

We highly recommend contacting one of our Authorized Retailers to try on the dress for your perfect fit.

All of Henkaa's convertible dresses are maternity friendly. The adjustable straps can be worn above the baby bump for an elegant empire waist and the construction of the skirt and flexible sizing allows for your baby bump to grow. Our customers have worn Henkaa convertible dresses before, during and after pregnancy (our dresses are also nursing-friendly). Visit our Maternity & Motherhood gallery to see for yourself.

The flexible sizing of Henkaa's dresses means that they can be adapted to smaller body frames. The Sakura Convertible Dress, particularly the Mini length, is a great dress for children and petite youth. Fitting adult sizes 0-14, the straps of the dress can be wrapped around a child at the chest and waist for coverage and snugness. The addition of a convertible bandeau ensures more coverage as well. 

Please note that depending on the height of your child, and where you desire the length of the dress to fall, you may also want to consider the Sakura Midi, Sakura Maxi, Iris Midi or Iris Maxi. Our Iris Midi Convertible Dress in is very popular for school-aged to high school students.

Lastly, body shape will also determine how each dress length drapes on each person's body. The product description on the product pages provide approximate measurements of the garments to help you gauge which length is most suitable for your child.

Our Sakura Maxi and Iris Maxi Convertible Dresses are suitable for heights ranging up to 6' (wearing flats). There are unique styles that allow you to adjust the length of the dress and even shorten it with only styling and no alterations.

Should you require additional length, you can contact Henkaa Studio which provides more customized length options for Sakura, Iris and Ivy convertible dresses.

Henkaa convertible dresses are size-flexible, allowing you to save time from dress fittings because it will change to fit to your body.

If you need to adjust the length of the dress, you can have it hemmed or trimmed cost-effectively with a trusted seamstress.

Sakura and Iris Convertible Dresses have a raw edge and can be easily tailored to your ideal length, with no special machine hemming required — just a straight cut. For Sakura and Iris, we recommend informing your seamstress that these dresses are cut on a bias.

If you're interested in hemming your Sakura or Iris at home, check out our blog post: How to Hem a Henkaa Convertible Infinity Dress

Henkaa's Ivy and Calla dresses, as well as our convertible overlays in Hana and Daffodil have sewn hems that can be altered by a seamstress if needed.

Please note: Different styling techniques, as well as the type of shoes worn, will affect the length of the dress, so please be sure to keep that in mind before making any alterations.

If you need a longer dress than our standard length or a colour that isn't available in the dress your want, please contact us via Henkaa Studio where we offer customization on our convertible dresses.

Only our convertible dresses are available in custom variations. There are no customizing for neckties, bow ties, or jewellery.

Our best advice is to take your dress out of the package, put it on and play around with it to discover all its possibilities! There is a style for every preference and skill level.

We have the most extensive style video library for convertible dresses available at your fingertips - head on over to our video tutorials library to browse styles or search for the look you're trying to achieve.

Henkaa carries a full line of undergarments suitable for all of our Lenaa™ fabric convertible dresses. We suggest wearing a self-adhesive bra, like the Infinity Bra, or a strapless bra coupled with the Convertible bandeau depending on your desired style. Some of our dresses, such as the Iris Convertible Dress and the Calla Convertible Dress, allow you to wear a full bra.

As for bottoms, we suggest full coverage underwear, no thongs. We carry a SeemFree™ Hiphugger Panty and SeemFree™ Tummy Control Brief perfect for a flawless look underneath the dress.

We're all about making your life easier. Caring for your Henkaa convertible dress is stress-free! Simply place your dress in a Henkaa Laundry Wash Bag and into your washing machine on the delicate cycle in cold water. After it’s been washed, just hang to dry or place on a drying rack and it’ll be as good as new!  

Our Hana and Daffodil chiffon and lace overlays are more delicate and require additional care. Please hand wash garments in mild detergent before hanging or flat drying.

To learn more on how to ensure that your Henkaa convertible dress has a long lifespan visit our Dress Care page.

Our dresses have the added benefit of being wrinkle-resistant! However, if a dress is stored for an extended period of time, slight wrinkles may appear. Fear not, we've got a simple solution! We recommend using a steamer or during a shower, hanging your convertible dress on a pant hanger in the bathroom. The steam will help the dress lose its wrinkles and become party-ready for another night out!

Henkaa convertible dresses love nothing more than to travel! Not only do our dresses wrap into small, convenient packages, they also help to eliminate many other articles of clothing because you can style and wear them in so many different ways and for so many occasions. That means you can pack light and save some room for souvenirs from your travels!

Simply hold the dress by the waistband with the straps facing away from your body, then fold in half towards you (bringing each side seam together at the waist). Now fold/roll the skirt down in 8-10" repeating sections until you reach the end of the skirt. Use the remaining strap length to twist loosely around your bundle and you're off!
