Frequently Asked Questions
-
Join the wait list! For MTO pieces, I’ll reach out to you directly when you’re at the top of the list. For RTS, you’ll be notified when the item is back in stock.
-
You can use a piece of string to take your measurements and then find a ruler to measure the length of the string. If you don’t have access to string, you can list sizes you wear from your favorite brands.
-
RTO items will be sent within one week. You can expect to wait 2–4 weeks for MTO pieces to ship.
-
Signs of wear are inevitable when creating with pre-owned goods. While I avoid using pieces with distracting or obvious stains, fading and signs of wear are inevitable. Pieces with more noticeable stains will be sold at a discount with imperfections noted in the description.
-
The designs featured on my website are the pieces currently available. While I don’t recreate garments from other sources, I do welcome custom inquiries. If you have a specific idea in mind—such as contributing your own garment or commissioning a variation of a one-of-a-kind design—please feel free to fill out the interest form.
