In order for us to practice a sustainable system of dealing with any problems you may have with your order, we ask that you adhere to the following. If this is not possible, please do not hesitate to contact us directly to discuss an alternate course of action.

Pricing

Private agreements made with the different representatives worldwide cause pricing to sometimes vary regionally. YUMIKO reserves the right to make adjustments in prices. Customers will be advised of changes in the printed price before any order is confirmed.

Fabric & Color

Due to the countless variations possible, YUMIKO does not guarantee that the colors/fabrics chosen to combine will not bleed or discolor. Combinations of very light colors with darker ones are particularly susceptible to running and discoloration. We do not refund or exchange any pieces affected in this way. Our suggestion is to follow the Fabric care and any special instructions or notes.

Fabric care: Hand wash only in cold water. Use very mild detergent. Do not iron. Do not use dryer- lay flat to dry.
Do not wear for long periods of intense exertion as high levels of body acid or Alkaline combined with warm body temperatures may have adverse effects and may cause discoloration or colors to run or bleed.

Sizing

Our sizing chart is general and is based on the fact that we typically cater primarily to semi-professional and professional dancers. All YUMIKO models have been specifically designed for the dancer's body and therefore may fit other shapes improperly. Not every model is meant for every body type. However, because most of the fabrics that we use do stretch generously and can even account for a size up to 30% larger than what is listed on our chart, there is a lot of give in the fit. Provided that you follow the size chart, YUMIKO pieces can fit many body types.
