4 out of 5 starsNice material. Looks just as pictured. It was a bit smaller than anticipated. I moved the button to the right and it fits better now.

5 out of 5 starsI love this wrap sweater. The taupe color is beautiful. I can't wait till it gets cold to be able to wear it. I know that I can always expect great customer service, craftsmanship, and just being extremely happy with what I am buying from Sandmaiden. I highly recommend this store.

5 out of 5 starsLOVE the designs that sand maiden creates in Her sweaters . Whether it's the long sleeves or the shape of the jacket I feel good wearing them. Just don't let anyone wash & shrink them for you. They need TLC

5 out of 5 starsGreat! I put this sweater through its paces a bit when I took it on a trip to Korea. Fabric: The thin merino was perfect for folding up small but also being a nice, warm layer. Design: It's much more interesting than a simple sweater, it doesn't get very dirty after multiple wears (since it stays out from under one's arms), and it's great to wear anywhere you want/need to dress more modestly. Overall it's a fine sweater, but for travelers it's an extra amazing piece.

Sandmaiden Loungewear and wool knits
Garments made from natural fibers ground us more intimately to our selves and our environment, providing more comfort and beauty than synthetic materials. The fabrics in the Sandmaiden collection are 90% natural with about 10% modern, functional, fashion forward content like lycra or and soft wood pulp based fibers.
I appreciate your patience with the process of having your order produced, I know it is chosen to wear or give at a certain occasion and time is always of the essence. I typically do not accept rush orders because it would mean pushing others orders back but occasionally when we are working on samples I can do it.
Your order will stay in que in the order it was received, on the Monday after your order it will be sorted with the others from the previous week based on both date and color. I cut 10 pieces every day, usually in two colors after that I bring them to the serger and assemble everything. I have one part time helper who will help with a lot of the finishing under my guidance and also does the shipping.
Over the year the average turn around time is 10 days but during peak seasons or for orders with more than one color it will be more like 14 days.
We use a shipping software platform called Ship Station, it’s automatically imports the orders from Etsy and makes it very easy for us to print a label directly from the information provided on the order. Ship station even notifies you through your email address with the tracking number when it ships, it also updates your Etsy order with the tracking number. You can find your updated invoice by clicking through the link at the top of this page or look for the email.
I use the United States Postal Service to ship all of the packages, they are usually dropped off at the station the day after the label is printed because of limited hours at my local station. Orders within the USA will be shipped priority post and take 1-3 days to arrive. International orders are different.
International customers please make sure you go over the shipping policy’s in my shop. There is tracking to Canada which takes 2-3 weeks but no tracking to any other country unless it is sent express. Express shipping can be purchased as an add on to your order for $30.00. International orders over about $600.00 will be shipped priority with tracking. If an order does not include tracking or insurance you can expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks, occasionally if it doesn’t show up it will usually end up back with me after 3 months with an undeliverable address.
Every country has different policies on duties and vats, there is a chance you will have to pay up to 30% depending on your countries laws and what they decide to do at customs. Usually this does not happen which is why I do not charge up front but it can so please be prepared for that.
Thanks again! Much love and appreciation,
Amanda from Sandmaiden.

Owner, Maker, Designer
I created Sandmaiden 7 years ago after working in the fashion industry for 10 years in Vancouver as a single mom, so many suits, boots and shoes and busy days later I yearned for pretty, romantic pajamas in delicious colors and exquisite textiles
Shop policies
My experience after 7 years of doing this is that there is a 2% chance orders will not fit the first time for reasons that run the gamut, this chance is greatly reduced by following the instructions in the sizing chart below and by choosing a style that you already know works for you. Please allow for the possibility of having your garment hemmed or altered to fit you after ordering, I make them on the long and large side to be safe.
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
"Made to order" or "Custom" are considered final sale items. We will in some cases exchange those items for store credit at www.sandmaiden.com for something ready to ship if it absolutely does not work for you.

******************SWIMWEAR POLICIES*********************
Swimsuits are exchangeable or refundable if received in original condition and tried on over panties. Please try your suit on when you receive it over clean undergarments and decide if it fits you, if not you can return it as long as it's posted back to me within one week and in the original condition. Please contact me via etsy convos to obtain a return authorization.

Shipping
CANADA: parcel post with confirmation and tracking 10-20 days
International: USPS parcel post with confirmation only (no tracking) 10-20 business days. Orders over about $250.00 will be shipped priority post (5-10 days) *with* tracking.
International customers please note that your package has to clear customs in your country which can create a delay in delivery and may be subject to duty charges that are your responsibility to pay. I don't charge duties and taxes up front because more often than not the packages will pass through customs with no charges.

Additional policies and FAQs
The length of the garments can be adjusted by your height but keep in mind that every body is different, a simple camisole is going to hit at two different places on two different people of the same height and different body types. The sleeves of robes are another example of something that will fit differently on someone of the same height but a different body type. Please be flexible about the length of your garment, I try to make them on the long side to be safe but it will never be the exact length it appears in the images.
Measurements that might be required are below, please note this is not the finished measurement of the garment, only body measurements.
Please note I will not use measurements that I don't ask for.
Height: for chemises or pants
Bust: fullest part (not bra band size)
Under bust: directly under the bust
Waist: narrowest part
Low Hip: Fullest part about crotch level, very important!
Inseam: for pants have someone measure you from the crotch to the floor if you're very concerned about length. Denim size is often not a good measurement to go by.
For Bras and styles with cups: full bust and under bust without a bra on.
General size guide (very general):
XS= dress size 0/2, bust 33, waist 25, low hip 35,
S= dress size 4/6, bust 34, waist 27, low hip 37,
M= dress size 8/10, bust 37, waist 30, low hip 40,
L= dress size 12/14, bust 40, waist 33, low hip 43,
XL = dress size 16/18, bust 43, waist 36, low hip 46,
XXL = dress size 18/20 bust 46, waist 39, low hip 49
Not all the styles in this shop are available in all sizes
