TROUBLESHOOTING
I payed for my class, but I don't see the videos.
Please ensure you check the following:
-
Log in to your account using your active username (email address).
-
If you paid with PayPal, check the email inbox associated with your payment profile for the login link.
-
Access the lessons from your Personal Dashboard, not the sales pages.
*Note: If you paid with PayPal, account activation may take up to 12 hours.
Videos are not loading.
We know it's frustrating when technical difficulties get in the way of you completing a lesson.
Here are a few possible solutions you can try:
-
Check your internet connection. A weak internet connection will sometimes cause the videos to load slowly or slow down.
-
Clear your cache. Just clearing out some data and cookies may fix the issue.
-
Choose a lower video resolution for faster buffering in the player settings.
If none of these steps solve the problem, you can always contact us at info@dressmaking.academy and we will work together to solve this problem for you!

BILLING AND PAYMENTS
Why is my card is not working?

Monthly memberships are automatically billed each month until cancelled.
Annual memberships automatically renew 12 months after the first day of paid membership.
Once the subscription is canceled, access will be locked.
If you are having a lifelong membership plan, your access will never expire.
How to cancel my subscription?
You can easily cancel your subscription at any time from the 'Billing' tab in your user profile.
If you subscribed using PayPal, cancel your subscription from your PayPal account dashboard.
Will the subscription stop automatically?
No, your subscription will continue until you cancel it. You may have access to the program for as long as you need. You are in control.
What if I want to keep my access forever?
The best option is to purchase the Lifelong VIP membership.
With this membership, you'll have perpetual access to all current courses and features, as well as any new courses that are regularly added to the library.
Alternatively, you can purchase courses individually from the library and retain them in your dashboard.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Our goal is to make sure that you have the best learning experience possible.
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on the VIP membership and a 7-day money-back guarantee on the Bespoke Couture Accelerator—no questions asked.
Make an informed decision: try it, and if it's not for you, you'll receive a full refund, no questions asked.
Additionally, we guarantee results: If, after completing the main program, you do not create a perfectly fitted corset, feel truly enlightened, or see an improvement in your dressmaking skills, you will receive a full refund.
