Reservations

Upcoming Sets & Available Reservations

While I no longer take custom orders, I do open up reservation options for sets/colorways I'm about to be working in. This allows you to reserve a piece ahead of time in your size/style preferences, and allows me to properly schedule time and estimate needed fabric/supplies for each set before I get to it. Reserved items are paid for at the time of completion, not at the time of ordering. It may seem a bit backwards, but this system works quite well for my particular flavor of autism. This is how I will be handling requests going forward. All I require upfront is the small reservation fee, which is then applied to your finished item when I'm done. Here's how the whole process works:

I announce the opening of reservations in a new set on my social media pages.
You place your reservation order here, specifying your preferences in the note to seller at checkout. This will be found at the final ordering step, under the Review & Submit tab. Where applicable for each garment, you are allowed to choose fabric placement, trim color, metal grommet finish, size, and style. For example, if you reserve a corset, your note could read something like this: "Rita Corset, Size 34, Black Striped Trim, Black Grommets." Feel free to be as specific as you like. Make sure you note your preferred method of contact, just in case I have questions. Facebook or Instagram accounts, or email, should all be fine for this (check spam folders if you prefer email. My messages end up in spam. A lot.). If reserving items from multiple colorways, please submit separate orders. This will help me keep it more organized.
I generally have a 4-8 week time range on these reservations, but can go longer during busy seasons, or when something comes up here, which happens. Often. So please, if you have a particular date you need your items by, make sure you tell me in the order note. In fact, tell me at least 2 weeks ahead of that date to allow you time for fitting and outfit planning once you receive it. I can almost always accommodate these requests, but I need to know in advance to properly juggle my schedule around.
When items are completed, you will be contacted and sent final item photos of your exact pieces, plus a link to a hidden listing here which can be used to purchase your order. Since my turnaround timeframe is so wide, I do not ever expect purchases to be made immediately. I'm pretty flexible on this, up to a few weeks or so, just so long as you let me know. I do not, however, accept payment plans/installments on these orders.
Once your order is paid in full, you can expect it to be on its way within 1-3 business days. I don't ship packages daily as it's an hour round trip for us to the post office, but I do ship these pretty quickly.
