What is the difference between Petite and Regular Sizing?
Petite garments are generally for those who are under 5'4". It is not a reflection of weight, but focuses more on height and proportions. Most of our petite sizes would have a 1-2" shorter length hem and slightly higher armhole in certain styles. Honestly, it's really about what you feel most comfortable with!
What is this fabric? How do you recommend I care for my always a.line items?
Most of our garments are made with a specially developed rayon/spandex blend fabric. We highly recommend hand washing your garments in cold water (with a little bit of detergent!) and hang to dry. This helps to keep it looking at its best. Other helpful tips: turning the garment inside out prior to washing, and placing items in a garment bag.
What size should I wear?
Refer to our size chart or come visit us at our shop to try things on! Our staff is always happy to help. Can't make it down to the shop? Order online and return whatever doesn't work for you within 30 days.

We only make a limited amount of items with each collection, so if you like it and see your size, we highly recommend picking it up asap! Once a collection is released, that is generally all the fabric we have in stock. We rarely produce any reprints.
