Ready to ship orders are shipped out within a couple in business days. If you order custom items along with ready to ship items, they will be sent together when the custom items are finished.

A custom order is any garment where you choose the size and fabric and I then make it up for you. Check the ship date for the shops present turnaround time. Please always check the shipping date before placing your order as I do not process cancellations. If you require a custom item sooner, add your item to the cart and take note of the price. Go to the last section of the shop called "Rush orders" and use the appropriate listing there in order to receive your order by the date you need it. Availability of rush orders is dependent on my ability to get them done in the promised time. If you don’t see availability it’s simply because my time is all booked up.

Most of the listings include a size chart. If you need any help with sizing simply send me a message and I'll be happy to help you out. For a child give me age, chest and waist measurement. For an adult give bust and waist measurement. Pattern sizing can be quite different from store sizing, especially in adult sizes. It's always better to check if you are unsure.

I sure do! If you don't like what you see, please send me a message and let me know what kind of fabric you are looking for. I have everything from linen blends to chambray and much more extensive collections of cottons than I can put in the ETSY pictures.

Please be sure that you can commit to your purchase before you place your order and be sure to check your ship date before checking out. It is my desire to provide clothing at a very reasonable cost. The cost you pay is based on the cost of materials and labor. I do not charge customers for my initial design time, my site work time, overhead or any administration. This allows me to keep my prices lower than many other fabric artists. It also means that I do not cancel orders. As a one-woman shop, staying open would simply not be viable if I were to do so. Thank you for supporting my little shop!

In order to keep prices as reasonable as possible for everyone, I do not accept returns on ready to ship garments or custom made garments. Please ask questions before purchasing to be sure that the item will meet your needs. Please measure carefully. I always recommend purchasing one of any given made to order style before buying multiples so that together we know that the style and fit is right before doing more.

I understand that there is a risk in ordering custom made as you cannot try on before purchasing. As one who designs and sews for others all day, I truly enjoy supporting other shops and purchase clothing for myself here on Etsy. While not everything is perfect I enjoy the adventure of having something made just for me.

Please send a message with any questions you may have before you order. I will almost always get back to you on the same day during the work week. Questions sent on weekends may not be addressed till Monday.

Pockets are an add on option because there are a good percentage of customers who simply do not like them. This way I don't need to automatically charge any of you for pockets you don't want. Almost all of my dresses and skirts can have added pockets. Please see the last section of the store named RUSH ORDERS AND ADD ONS in order to add pockets to your garments. The listing adds 2 pockets, one on each side.
