Where to Start
Production Time
Most custom orders require at least 6 months lead time.
Order space fills up fast, so if you have a commission in mind and want to ensure I can get you on my calendar, please reach out as soon as possible and let me know what dates you have in mind.
(Rush orders may be considered but will incur a minimum $200 rush fee - depending on details.)
How much will this cost?
Custom orders can vary greatly depending on the era and specific design elements of the garment. Visiting my Etsy shop will give you an idea of base prices, but please note that fabric, trimmings, and patterns are provided separately by you. The final cost may increase based on your fabric choices, design details, deadlines, and measurements. We will discuss all details beforehand, and I will provide an invoice before work begins. If any changes are made during the process, these will also be discussed, and an adjusted invoice will be issued.
Terms of Sale
It is important that you read all the terms of sale carefully. In most cases, you are purchasing custom-made clothing, which cannot be canceled, refunded, or returned. If you have questions about anything, please feel free to email me at any time.
Paying your deposit indicates you have read and agree to all the below terms.
DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS:
- 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your commission completion date on my project calendar.
- All fabric/pattern/notions must be sent to me at least 8 weeks before the due date, or your completion date may be adjusted and/or project canceled.
- Additional payments may be sent in as you like.
- 100% of the payment must be made before the due date or the project will not be shipped and may be considered abandoned or forfeited.
FORMS of PAYMENT: Most forms of payment are accepted via my shop invoicing, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. If you'd like to pay via personal check, please contact me at BeespokeVintage@gmail.com
SHIPPING: Each order is entered into my calendar as it is accepted. As a result, shipping dates vary according to the number of orders previously scheduled. Christmas and Halloween are the busiest times and I am closed for summer break, so please plan accordingly.
If you have a particular "no later than" date, PLEASE make sure you include that with your order. I will try to accommodate all requests and will notify you if it is not possible to meet your deadline. As a general rule, allow at least 16 weeks from the date of deposit payment and fabric receipt for shipment of custom-made items. If any items are delayed, you will be notified as soon as possible.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Please inquire about additional postage and VAT fees.
RUSH ORDERS: Any orders for custom-made clothing to be completed in less than 12 weeks will incur a minimum $200 rush fee. If express or overnight shipping is required, additional shipping charges may also be added.
RETURNS/REFUNDS: Because each piece is made specifically for you, following your particular tastes and measurements, there are NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES.
CANCELATION, ABANDONMENT & FORFEITURE: Any project canceled by either party for any reason (or a lack of communication by the customer for four weeks or more) will be considered abandoned and forfeited. All deposits, payments, materials (fabric, trim, patterns, etc.), and labor will be retained by BeespokeVintage and will not be returned to the customer.
