~ Custom Tailoring Service ~ We are happy to tailor our clothing to fit your specific measurements! We now offer this service as an upgraded option on most of our clothing. The upgraded option can be found on each individual item page as it's own purchase button, it has the additional fee for the tailoring service added. Just add it to your cart as you would any of our items and put your measurements in the comments field at checkout. Unfortunately, this charge only applies for alterations within the size range indicated on the chart for that item. Larger or much smaller sizes are handled on a case by case basis, when we have to redraft a pattern to suit it can cost more than our basic alterations since it takes considerably more work. Please contact us if you need something vastly different than the measurements shown on the size chart- or if you would like an item made in another fabric or color! The charges shown cover the time for the adjustments, and vary depending on the complexity of the garment. Shirts and shrugs take less time to adjust than dresses and elaborate coats. Please Note: Custom alterations take time, generally we can have your order adjusted and mailed within 10 days but it can take longer during our busy seasons (Halloween/Xmas). For exact delays for customizing please contact us. You can reach us via email anytime! taeden@gloomth.com ~ Sizing ~ The measurements you see posted in the listings are specific to each design, which is why a small in one style may be slightly different than a small in another. You'll find most of our designs are available in xsmall to xlarge; these sizes are fairly standard through the catalogue. We post individual measurements (rather than rely on umbrella sizing) because depending on the fabrics and the cut of the piece the size may vary slightly from garment to garment- as is the case with all hand made clothing. We want you to have as much information on the creations as possible prior to purchase. ~ Determining Your Size ~ If you are ever unsure of a size or garment please email us, we are always happy to send you any additional measurements or answer any questions you may have. We answer all inquiries within 24 hours. There are a couple ways of determining the best size for your figure: The first is to find a similar garment in your current wardrobe, of a similar fabric (i.e. non-stretch or stretch) lay it flat on the floor or a table. Use a flexible sewing measuring tape to measure from armpit to armpit (if a top/dress/coat), the length -from shoulder seam or strap to bottom, and the waist/under-bust if necessary. Double all these measurements (i.e. an 18' inch bust on a top = a 36 bust circumference) and you'll be able to compare those to the ones posted in our listings. The second way requires a little more finesse, you'll need a flexible sewing measuring tape or a piece of string (and something to measure the string with). Bust- Wrap the measuring tape or string around your bust while wearing your favorite bra, at the WIDEST point- this is not the same place on everyone. Make sure it sits comfortably, you don't want it to be too tight or the garment won't fit properly. Waist- Measure your NATURAL waist, which is usually situated around your navel where skirts and dresses may hang. If you prefer to wear skirts lower on your hips measure that area. Again, ensure the tape/string is loose enough to be comfortable. Length for a garment is best found by measuring an existing piece of the appropriate length within your own wardrobe. ~ Fit Issues? ~ We are happy to exchange and unworn item for another of a different size if need be! This is not possible, for obvious reasons, for custom sizing and altered items- please double and triple check your measurements to be sure. We do not offer refunds on our items, only exchange on unworn tagged merchandise. Please don't hesitate to contact us for further information or with any questions! taeden@gloomth.com |
