The ‘Sophie’ Tie Dye Shorts

We recommend booking large Made to Measure and Bridal orders around 3-5 months in advance to ensure we have availability. Our busiest time of year is March – August. Once an order has been placed we secure the sewing slot; this is when we actually cut & make the order. Then an approximate delivery date will be assigned which is usually 1-2 weeks prior to the event date unless otherwise agreed, this can be subject to change during busy periods. We can take final measurements anytime up until 7-10 days prior to the delivery date to allow as long as possible for weight loss or growing baby bumps.

Made to Measure orders are made to each individual customers’ exact measurements, therefore they are non-refundable, and we cannot accept returns. Please be certain on the design and fabric choice and ensure all measurements are accurate.

We cannot be held responsible if your measurements have changed or have been taken incorrectly. Should your measurements be due to change, please choose ‘Not taken yet’ for each measurement when imputing your order and advise in the comment section when you will be providing them. Final measurements are required at least 7-10 days prior to the delivery date.

Please bare in mind that some designs are only available in certain fabrics and colours due to the style. Please check the fabric samples description area here for a complete breakdown of each fabric type we use.

Scuba lining comes as standard with most Made to Measure dresses, please check individual product description for lining details. The A-line extra gathers and Panelled hem options cannot be lined in Scuba as they require a soft draping fabric.

We strongly recommend purchasing fabric samples prior to ordering a Made to Measure item as we cannot be held responsible for colour differences caused by computer screens, nor can we be held responsible for slight batch differences caused by suppliers.

Wash care instructions:

• For best results we recommend dry cleaning all our garments
• If dry cleaning is not possible, we’d recommend a cold hand wash
• Some fabrics may contain high quantities of dye, ensure washed separately for the first wash
• Do not bleach
• Do not tumble dry
