Beginning Boutique is an Australian women's fashion boutique selling formal, party and wedding guest dresses, tops, bottoms, sets, swimwear and accessories, with its own collections in sizes 4 to 24.
Only one promotional code fits each order, so choose between its 15% offers before you reach checkout.
Beginning Boutique was started in Brisbane in 2008 by Sarah, now its CEO, who launched the label without any background in fashion or online retail. Its early years mixed sell-out pop-up stores with plenty of trial and error, and the company describes its customer as its compass. The clothes are designed in Australia and ship from warehouses in Brisbane and San Diego, with separate storefronts for the US and Canada, New Zealand and the UK.
New arrivals land twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the range is built around dressing for events, from graduations and weddings to festivals and race days, alongside everyday basics, denim and loungewear. Its in-house line is sold as BB Exclusives, and it runs a collaboration with Mia Oglesby. The It List rewards program adds birthday vouchers and early sale access at higher spend tiers.
Does Beginning Boutique offer free shipping?
Yes. Standard delivery is free from A$100 and A$8.99 below that, taking 1-6 business days; express is A$11.99 under A$120 with next-business-day metro delivery.
How long does Beginning Boutique shipping take?
Orders placed before 4:30pm AEST leave the Brisbane warehouse on the same business day.
What is Beginning Boutique's return policy?
You have 30 days for store credit or an exchange, with no change-of-mind refunds and a A$9.99 label fee unless you return at the Brisbane HQ.
Does Beginning Boutique have student and military discounts?
Yes. Students, teachers, military and first responders can verify through Student Beans for 15% off.
What payment methods does Beginning Boutique accept?
Cards go through Stripe or Shopify Payments, and Afterpay, Laybuy, Zip and PayPal are accepted.
More about shopping at Beginning Boutique
Non-returnable
Outlet final-sale items, earrings, cosmetics, intimates and opened swimwear can't go back, and other pieces need tags and hygiene seals intact.
The It List
The free loyalty program earns 1 ticket per A$50 on orders over A$100, and four spend tiers add birthday vouchers, early sale access and free shipping.
Referrals
A friend gets A$20 off a first order of A$100+, and you get A$20 in return.
Gift cards and credit
Both last 3 years and can't be extended, which matters because change-of-mind returns come back as store credit.
International
The AU site ships worldwide except the US, NZ and UK, which have their own stores, at A$19.95 standard (10-18 business days) or A$39.95 express.

Type your code into the 'gift card or discount code' box at checkout and click apply.
Beginning Boutique allows only one promotional code per order, and several offers sit at the same 15%: the email sign-up, the app, and Student Beans verification for students, teachers, military and first responders.
Since they match, use whichever you can get fasteSt. The 2 for A$60 dresses and 2 for A$40 tops are banner deals, so compare them with a code on your basket.
A discounted dress still follows the store-credit-only return rule, and you've got 15 minutes to edit or cancel from the confirmation email.

Beginning Boutique questions, answered
Can you get a refund from Beginning Boutique?
Change-of-mind returns get store credit or an exchange, not a refund. Refunds are only given for faulty or incorrect items, and shipping fees aren't refunded.
Can you use two codes at Beginning Boutique?
Only one promotional code works per order. That means choosing between offers such as the 15% email sign-up and the 15% app discount.
How long is Beginning Boutique store credit valid?
Gift cards and store credit are valid for 3 years and can't be extended.
Does Beginning Boutique's Australian site ship to the US?
The AU site doesn't ship to the US, NZ or UK, since each has its own store. Other countries get standard shipping for A$19.95 or express for A$39.95, and duties may apply.
Can you change a Beginning Boutique order after placing it?
Orders can be edited or cancelled from the confirmation email within 15 minutes. Later cancellations, where possible, are refunded as a store-credit gift card.
