Exchanges, Returns & Refunds
Your satisfaction is our goal.

Try it on
Like you, we are reasonable.  If you think you might like a suit but aren't 100% sure, we encourage you to order it, try it on (wearing your panties, please), look in a full length mirror, ask your girlfriend, ask your husband or boyfriend, ask your cat, then decide for yourself. If you love everything about it, great. If it isn't quite right for you, please check the size.

Do you have the right size?
The Cruise 2010 Collection revised the enthusiastic size modifications that were made in the Cruise 2009 Collection. At that time, the sizing of all suits in the Anne Cole Collection (including the Lingerie Maillot) were adjusted to conform with current industry guidelines.  The 2010 Maillot is slightly larger than the long running Classic, the proportions are more like your own & once you have the correct size, you will be even more in love with the way you feel in this suit. For an even roomier fit, please order from the Cruise 2009 collection.

The Anne Cole Lingerie Maillot still comes in Sizes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16.  Many of our customers can wear two or even three sizes comfortably (depending on whether they prefer a snug, perfect or loose fit) although one of those will feel right & fit "best".  When ordering from the 2010 Collection, please keep in mind that the fit is slightly looser than the Classic Lingerie Maillot (but not as loose as the Updated Maillot from 2009).

We suggest that, to be sure, you order & try on both your usual size and a size smaller. 

Still not right?
If you have the correct size but it still isn't giving you that great feeling, please wrap it up right away and return it. You will receive a full refund as long as you mail it 30 days or less from the date you received it.

Don't procrastinate. If you hold the suit more than 30 days, there will be a restocking fee deducted from your refund amount or credit value. If you return it 30 to 60 days from receiving it, 1/3 will be deducted from your refund amount or exchange credit. If you have the suit more than 60 days, the deduction is 2/3. We will accept returns that are sent up to 90 days from receipt. Don't procrastinate.

Treat it right
This is important. If you follow the washing instructions, your suit will last a long time, keep its color and shape, and be a source of happiness for you.

Be happy
Once in a blue moon, something is amiss, and a suit fails to live up to your expectations after trying it on, wearing it, and taking proper care of it. In the rare instances where this is the case, we would like to have the suit back, please, and we'd like you to have a new suit in its place.  If you prefer a refund, of course, we will issue one.

Anne Cole and The Clothing Studio-both excellent companies
Over and over, through a decade long professional relationship, we have seen that Anne Cole is a company we enjoy doing business with--an excellent company. They produce top quality products, stand behind them, set trends with their styles, and are completely professional--they do what they say they will do. They understand and respond to women in the same way that we do. Friendly. Reasonable. Concerned that you not just tolerate wearing a swimsuit, but that you actually LIKE it, FEEL GOOD in your swimsuit, and have added CONFIDENCE because you are wearing it, LOOK FORWARD to putting it on and actually appearing in public in it, and can genuinely SMILE while you're wearing it.

At The Clothing Studio, and at Anne Cole, we believe that when we sell you a swimsuit, we have a responsibility that it perform to these expectations. The Clothing Studio has been in business for more than 30 years, since 1978. Cole was founded in 1925-almost 90 years ago! Both our companies know that making your satisfaction our highest priority is good business and sets us apart as companies you can rely on.
