Francesca Dress

For dresses, we recommend using your bust measurement as the best guide. Select a size that's slightly bigger than your bust measurement to allow room for movement. Below are the finished measurements of the garment.

We love any and all questions.

We've answered a few below, but please get in touch if you can’t find the info you’re looking for.

What’s the difference between handmade and custom-made clothes?

Ok, SO - handmade and custom-made clothes are both made by hand and made to order. The big difference is that custom-made clothes can be modified for fit or preference. 

For example, you might be petite or curvy and need modifications in the bodice, or extra length added to your dress if you’re tall. Perhaps you can’t stand buckles and prefer lovely little buttons instead. 

We offer modifications (see our list below) so you can customise your outfit to fit your body and personality.

What are some of the modifications I can request?

Your outfit should feel like ‘you’, right down to the style of pocket you prefer (trust us, it’s a thing). We offer customisations on:

• Pocket types
• Sleeves
• Adding a zip in dresses
• Buttons/buckles
• Length
• Bodice/bust changes
• Necklines

Let us know what you need when you place your order and we'll be in touch.

Why buy handmade clothes over ready-made fast fashion?

Choosing handmade means you'll get a unique piece of clothing made just for you. Time, care and attention have been paid to create a beautiful, long-lasting outfit (that fits!). 

You won’t just get your money’s worth; you’ll have something that feels great and will be proud to wear again and again.

What size should I order?

Our size guide shows the finished measurements of all of our garments. Compare your own measurements against the guide to decide which size is right for you – be sure to add some ease around your bust, waist and hips to allow for movement.

What’s ‘ease', we hear you ask? It’s a few extra centimetres to allow your clothes to move freely on your body and avoid feeling super tight. Usually about 3cm - 5cm for dresses and 8cm - 10cm for overalls (just enough room to allow for cartwheels).

Pssst…we’re also more than happy for you to send us your measurements so we can cross-check your size for you at our end. One of the joys of choosing handmade clothes!

Need advice on how to measure yourself? Just let us know in the notes section and we'll be in touch!

Can I change something if I want it to be a little different?

Yes, we love this. For example, you might want to change up the sleeve or the pocket options on your dress. Tell us in the notes section of your order, or send us a message to confirm the changes you’d like to make.

What fabrics do you use?

We use 100% natural cotton woven, canvas or rayon fabrics for all of our clothing. We source fabrics that are Oeko-Tex 100 certified and the ink used to print on them is GOTS certified.

That means that the fabrics we use are certified to be free of over 100 harmful substances, often used in cheaper materials. Better for you and the planet!

Where are your clothes made?

All orders are stitched to the sounds of Ed Sheeran, true crime podcasts or reality a TV marathon, in our Toowoomba QLD studio (AKA ‘the shed’). 

Why do orders 2-3 weeks to arrive?

We understand you need or want your order ASAP and we work efficiently so we can get it to you as quickly as possible.

BUT all our items are cut and sewn to order, which does take time. We’re a small, family-run business that takes care and pride in ensuring each piece is beautifully sewn before it’s packed up and sent to you. 

I can’t see my size listed. Do you make other sizes?

Sure do, gorgeous. We currently offer XXS to 3XL but know this only serves some. If you can’t see your size, please reach out and we’ll customise an item just for you.

Do you do Afterpay?

We do!

What about shipping?

We offer a flat rate shipping fee of $11 for Australia and $25 worldwide. We've sent to countries across the globe, including America, Ireland, England, New Zealand and Taiwan, to name a few.
