How do I know if an item is truly ethically sourced?
All of our designers undergo a vetting process to ensure they meet Lilies’ standards for ethical labor, responsible material sourcing, and eco-friendly practices. You can also look for specific badges or labels in product listings indicating sustainability certifications or further details about a designer’s sourcing methods.
Sizing & Fit
How do I choose the right size?
Each designer on Lilies provides their own size chart. We recommend:
- Checking the Designer’s Size Chart: Located on the product page, this chart gives you the most accurate fit information.
- Reading Product Descriptions: Designers often include specific measurements and fit details (e.g., slim fit, loose fit, length).
- Looking at Reviews: Feedback from other buyers can help you gauge whether an item runs large, small, or is true to size.
What if the item doesn’t fit as expected?
If the item doesn’t fit, you can initiate a return or exchange according to the designer’s specific return policy. Always review the Return Policy (found in each product listing) or visit our Return and Dispute Resolution page for more details.

- Other local payment methods, depending on your region
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. We use secure payment gateways and encryption technology to protect your information. We never store full credit or debit card details on our servers.
Will I be charged any additional fees?

- Product Price: As listed by the designer.

Returns & Exchanges
What is the return policy on Lilies?
Each designer sets their own return and exchange policy. Most designers will accept returns for a set period (e.g., 7–30 days) if items are unworn, undamaged, and in their original packaging. Please review the Return Policy on the product page before placing your order.
Who pays for return shipping?
Unless otherwise stated by the designer or required by local law:

Dispute Resolution
What should I do if I have a dispute with a designer?
- Communicate First: Most disputes are solved quickly by directly messaging the designer.
- Provide Evidence: Photos or other documentation of product issues can help speed up the process.
- Escalate to Lilies: If you can’t resolve the issue with the designer, you can file a formal dispute. Our team will review both sides and decide on a fair outcome.
Will Lilies step in if there’s a major issue?
Yes. We’re committed to ensuring all buyers have a safe, fair experience. If a dispute cannot be resolved between you and the designer, Lilies can mediate and, in some cases, may offer a refund, exchange, or store credit, depending on the circumstances.
Ethical & Eco-Friendly Practices
How does Lilies ensure ethical sourcing?
We thoroughly vet our designers to ensure they adhere to ethical labor practices, fair wages, and safe working conditions. They also commit to using sustainably sourced materials where possible, such as organic cotton, recycled fabrics, or low-impact dyes.
How can I learn more about a designer’s ethical standards?
Check the designer’s storefront on Lilies. Many include details on their sustainability initiatives, ethical certificates, or memberships (e.g., fair-trade organizations). If you have additional questions, feel free to message the designer directly through the platform.
Does Lilies offer any eco-friendly shipping options?
Many of our designers choose recyclable or minimal packaging to reduce waste. While shipping carriers vary, we encourage our designers to use eco-conscious shipping methods whenever possible. If you have specific preferences, reach out to the designer directly.
Other Questions
