The questions we get most often. If yours isn't here, write to us — a person answers.
Most of our sets are cut deliberately oversized — that is the shape, not an accident of grading. If you want something closer to the body, take a size down. Every size from XS to 3XL is drafted separately rather than scaled up, so the larger sizes are properly proportioned. The size guide has full measurements for every garment.
Size up for the oversized cuts and down for the night dresses and cami sets. If you are unsure, send us your measurements through contact and we will tell you which to take — we would rather answer than process a return.

Choose a shape and a cloth, send us your measurements, and we send back a firm quote within two working days. Nothing is charged until you approve it. From approval, most pieces take about three weeks.
We check every set before cutting and will call you if a number looks inconsistent with the others. If a finished piece still does not sit right, bring it back within thirty days and we will alter it at no charge.
