THE BEGINNING
Pretty Sick Designs was launched in Spring 2018 by Heather Burgess in Calgary, Alberta.
Heather first got sick with chronic illness when she was 13-years-old. It has since been 14 years.
Her eardrum burst on New Year’s Eve 2003 and her health never recovered. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and POTS, she was incredibly sick. She barely made it through high school, having to take an extra year. But somehow she was accepted into a prestigious journalism program at Carleton University, in Ottawa.
After graduating from her undergraduate degree, Heather started graduate school studying political science. However, after a work term, she quickly discovered that she would not be able to work. Moving back home to Calgary, Heather knew she needed to put her health first. For over three years, she rested, learned health management tools, and committed to pacing her activities.
Being at home so much, Heather would wear her pyjamas day after day after day. Finally, she decided to invest in some “rest-day” clothes that were comfortable but also cute. Then an idea struck her: a line of clothing made especially for people just like her.
CH-CH-CHANGES
In November 2017, she took a leap of faith and decided to start pursuing her wild dream seriously.
The goal of Pretty Sick Designs isn’t just cute and comfy clothes for people dealing with health problems. The heart of this project is to encourage and give hope and support to the countless men and women suffering day in, day out with a chronic illness. An illness that is invisible and so often misunderstood, leading to so much isolation and despair. This is a deeply personal endeavour because the people behind the clothing know just what each and every customer is going experiencing.
OUR MISSION
This isn’t just a business. It’s a ministry that aims to build up and encourage every single person that stumbles across our website. Especially for those who buy our clothing. That’s why Pretty Sick Designs sends a special gift to each customer. Every customer is of the utmost importance. We want to be part of a vibrant community that supports and lifts each other up. So let’s do our best to help each other!

5 na 5 gwiazdekThis simple book changed my life! I was recently diagnosed with lupus & suffered a severe flare up. I was told to start writing everything I’m feeling down immediately but, on top of what my body was going through, it was incredibly overwhelming. This helped ease my mind. I’m able to keep track in detail & find things so easily. There’s also so much added space to write freely. This new journey won’t be easy but I know this notebook is a HUGE help. I’m so glad I found it!

5 na 5 gwiazdekThis item is beautiful, but it came in a package that the necklace had fallen out of the little silk packet and become totally nodded. This is the second time that I’ve ordered and had this happen. I’m so sad.

However these time frames are not guaranteed, as weather and mail volume can affect delivery.

I ship sweatshirts to the United States through Canada Post Small Packet - US Air. This means there will be NO tracking number provided.

You must upgrade for a tracking number.

How do you ship sweatshirts to Europe and everywhere else?
*IMPORTANT*
I ship sweatshirts to everywhere else through Canada Post Small Packet - International Surface.
This means that your items will be shipped by boat as this is the most cost effective shipping method. However this means that delivery times are long and there will be NO tracking number provided.
Estimated delivery times will be between 4-12 weeks.
You must upgrade for faster delivery and a tracking number.
I apologize for this inconvenience.
How do you ship jewelry to Europe and everywhere else?
I ship jewelry to everywhere else through Canada Post regular mail. This means there will be NO tracking number provided.
Estimated delivery times will be between 4-7 business days. However this time frame is not guaranteed, as weather and mail volume can affect delivery.
You must upgrade for a tracking number.
The reason why these upgrades are so expensive is because they are shipped by airmail and not surface mail (by boat). Airmail is much faster but a lot less cost effective.
I am very sorry about this inconvenience.
