FAQ
* Do you accept Custom Orders?
I am accepting a few custom orders. Message me with what you are looking for and include a picture of the materials.
* Pricing
Pricing varies and is based on a lot of different factors such as, cost of materials, time, sourcing, shipping, processing & cleaning, etc.
*Shipping
I ship within the U.S. & Canada only (for now). I incorporate the cost of shipping into the price of the item (for U.S.and additional small fee for Canada) (I may change this at some point) Items shipped in 5 or less days. If you live outside of the U.S. & Canada and really want an item - message me to see if we can work something out.
*Sizing
The size of an item is dependent on the material/ textile I am working with. I make a range of sizes. Not seeing your size? Send me a message on the contact page, let me know what sizes you'd like to see.
*I missed an item, oh no! Will you make more of the ......
If you see something that speaks to you, don't sit on it! 99.9999% of the time it's a one-of-a-kind item. I may come across a similar blanket, textile, fabric, etc. but No two items are exactly alike. Even when I can manage two coats from one quilt, they have never been identical. This is intentional.
*Do you make kids clothes?
In the future I hope to make more kids clothes, for now I am just making adult sizes.
*Who can wear your clothes?
Whoever wants to. My clothes are for anyone who wants to wear them.
*Care Instructions
You should hand-wash and hang to dry (or lay flat to dry). Spot cleaning or dry-cleaning are also acceptable. I am working with Vintage, sometimes Antique, textiles that require to be treated as the delicate flowers that they are. What's that old saying "bull in a china cabinet?" yea, don't be like that.
*Returns/ Exchanges?
I do NOT accept returns or exchanges. Please ask any & all questions and thoroughly read an items description etc. before making your purchase.
*Repairs & Alterations
I will sometimes consider an alteration on an item, This will be an additional cost to the customer. I will also consider repairs on DawnByTheBay items under certain circumstances.
*How do you measure & size garments ?
I measure while laid flat- see the chart below for the areas measured. If you need further measurements, please ask. I will rarely apply a size, however I will sometimes suggest a "best fit" for modern sizing.however, It's best to go off measurements as everyone sizes differently.
