Unique, Custom Creations from the Bayou to you!

My start on Etsy began when I started making gifts for family and friends and decided to try and see if anyone else would be interested in my creations. Embellished Bayou was born in the craft studio of my Louisiana home! I became interested in machine embroidery (monogramming, appliques) many years ago and my business has grown into a unique, custom shop with items ranging from LSU and Louisiana themed onesies and t-shirts to birthday bloomers and personalized plush lovies.

I LOVE making custom items, so if you don't see exactly what you're looking for in my shop, please don't hesitate to contact me through Etsy's Convo link or via email at christy [!at] embellishedbayou.com and I'll create something special just for you!

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer Rush Production & Rush Shipping Options?

Yes! I understand there are customers who need items in a hurry and can't wait the 7-10 business day production time. I offer a rush production option, which ensures your purchase will ship within 5 calendar days of payment.

You can also upgrade your shipping option from USPS First Class Mail (standard) to USPS Priority Shipping.

The rush options will look like this at checkout:
Standard Ship+Rush Production (arrives in 7-10 days, estimated)
Priority Ship+Rush Production (arrives in 5-8 business days, estimated)
Priority Ship only (arrives in 9-12 business days, estimated)

Custom and personalized orders

Yes! Please include any specific instructions for color/design changes in the "Notes to Seller" section of Etsy checkout. I stock white and purple t-shirts and bodysuits but can custom order ANY color (this will add approximately 1 week to the production time). Please inquire about t-shirt/bodysuit color changes PRIOR to placing your order.

What do I do if I don't receive my item(s)?

Tracking information will be emailed to you as soon as your order ships. Most purchases ship via USPS First Class mail unless an upgrade is selected in the shipping options. Priority shipping is recommended for items purchased as a gift or needed by a certain date. If you did not receive your purchase and tracking from USPS indicates your item was delivered, you must speak to your local post office yourself to file a claim for the missing item. Please note, once your item ships, it is out of my control. I cannot be responsible if your order is delayed or lost by the USPS.

Care instructions

Care instructions are included with apparel purchases. It is advised to launder items inside out on the gentle or hand wash cycle in cold water. Hanging to dry is recommended, but I have never had a problem putting items in the dryer on low heat. Iron on the wool/medium setting to smooth any wrinkles in the item or applique fabric. The soft backing on the embroidery/applique may become loose after repeated wear/washing, simply iron on low (synthetic) heat setting to reset the backing. For plush items, spot cleaning is recommended. They may be washed in the washing machine, but the stuffing may become slightly distorted.

Sizing details

A size chart photo is included in each listing if applicable. I recommend comparing the measurements to an item you already own to determine if it will fit.
