...clothes your body will love to wear
Announcement
Welcome to the home of Rue Violet!
All of these items are made in and shipped from Arcadia, Indiana. Items are typically wrapped in colorful tissue with a fun sticker, and packed in a white Tyvek envelope or black compostable envelope for First Class shipping.
**I have removed the XS size option from most of the listings, especially the garter belts. If you have ordered an XS in the past and it fit, and want to order an XS again, just ask me.
Questions about size? I'll help you find the perfect fit. See the shop banner and the last image on the listings for the size chart.

5 out of 5 starsSizing is pretty spot on so make sure you triple check! It's very comfortable, well made, and holds my thigh highs up with no trouble. I'm even able to squat without issue and my thigh highs stay up. I'd recommend this for sure!

5 out of 5 starsVery well made. So much easier to use than a standard garter belt. Love it!

5 out of 5 starsI'm back for my third purchase from catfritsch and I continue to be extremely glad that this shop exists. It's not easy to find garter belts that are both cute and functional, let alone at such a reasonable price. I'm absolutely delighted with how this garter belt turned out. The spiderweb print is a silvery metallic with a subtle rainbow holograph and I just love it. The white background matches with the white of the bows and the straps, and the lavender heart clips give it the perfect bit of contrast. I have a 25" waist and 35" hip; the XS fits me at the waist and the S fits me at the hip. I found the latter to be my strong preference. Note that I'm wearing shorts under the belt in the photo for privacy, but I always wear my underwear over the garters so I don't have to unclip anything to use the restroom.

Moo is not involved in the manufacturing (he's stuck at home), but he's in charge of Etsy sales when I am not available. He also supervises the crock pot while I am at work. I figure it's the least he can do.

Privacy
All contacts are made via Etsy convos, unless for some reason I cannot reach you that way. My second choice would be to request a direct email from Etsy (they generally don't share those with sellers, anymore). I do not use your contact information or mailing address for anything further, period. I don't collect it anywhere other than on Etsy (actually Etsy collects it for me), and frankly I don't have the time to devise devious plots to do...well, anything.
I know this is a little flip, but the bald truth is that I just make, pack and ship your orders. Please see Etsy's privacy notice for further info.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Yes! I make almost everything to order, so in many cases I can make a color or fabric that is not listed in that specific listing. Depends what I have in my fabric stock at any given time. Just ask!
Sizing details
I have a size chart, but please also feel free to include your measurements with your order. More info always helps.

Care instructions
Almost every item lists the care/content in the description and on a label with the item. The sleep masks do not have care/content labels. They are machine or hand wash cold, air dry.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I ship every order with colored tissue and fun stickers. The shipping envelope is usually a plain white Tyvek envelope, unless it is in Priority packaging. I can add a gift card with a special message if you like!
Wholesale availability
I do offer some items at wholesale, please contact me for details.
