Welcome! I am the Doc! Please visit my website for FAQ's and more info:

*** Sizing ***
All sizes are listed in INCHES. "How do know what my actual measurements are?" - you may ask. It is very simple - take a tape measure and wrap it around yourself.
Bust: the fullest part across the chest - THIS IS NOT YOUR BRA SIZE!
Waist: the smallest part around the torso - usually the middle of the "hourglass" figure
Hips: the widest part of the lower body
Make the tape measure fit how you want the dress or corset to fit. Remember to measure yourself while dressed in the undergarments that you plan on wearing with the item! Be mindful of any "breathing room" you need.
DRESSES: breathe IN all the way, then measure both your bust and waist. Add .5" to 1" of wearing ease to your numbers and then find the correct size on the chart. Ease is the difference between actual body measurements and garment measurements. The numbers listed for each size represents the garment measurement only, NOT body measurement. Your body measurement should NEVER be higher than the garment measurement - the dress will be too small and not fit properly. If you fall between two sizes, always choose the larger one!
*** Payment ***
Payment is expected within THREE days of the closing date by Paypal. NO PERSONAL CHECKS. If no communication and/or payment has been received after the 3-day period, then the item will be relisted, appropriate feedback will be left and the buyer reported to Etsy. Due to the nature of Special Occasion items, all sales are final.
*** Rush Orders ***
If an item is needed to be completed sooner than the posted turnaround time, upgrading to a Rush Order is REQUIRED. Rush fees vary and are NONREFUNDABLE. Our calendar is already full as it is with orders that were placed on time - bumping these projects would be unfair to the clients who already paid for them. Squeezing in additional projects forces us to work double-time, so rush fees are put in place to make that time well spent.
2 Week Rush Order: 40% Base Cost
1 Week Rush Order: 80% Base Cost
< 1 Week Rush Order: 100% Base Cost

1 out of 5 starsWorst customer service experience ever on Etsy. While this seller appears to be capable of good work, her communication skills are horrible; information provided on Etsy is completely different than instructions on her website (which I only found 6 weeks after placing my). I was billed up front $250, but was never contacted once about the dress construction, never asked for measurements, never given options for the dress (the Etsy description says that it comes with a 1/2 grommet back, 1/2 zipper, but ours came with only zipper and the dress did not fit at ALL. Her personal website says a full grommet back is an extra $20 which I gladly would have paid had I been contacted. Had to pay someone else $100 to completely re-work the dress.

2 out of 5 starsDress was very expensive and did not fit me. Store suggested that I fix it myself. When asked if I could send it back to get fixed, no reply.

If the dress was "too tight", then the wrong size was ordered by the client. Please measure yourself properly next time!

2 out of 5 starsDress was very expensive. It arrived and was too tight. Asked the owner what could be done and was advised to get it fixed myself. When asked if I could send it back, I go no reply. Its a very cute dress otherwise, just wish it fit better.

3 out of 5 starsIt's a cute dress but the back was supposed to be a lace-up corset but instead it has a ziper. The lack of communication from the seller was a huge set back

Grommet backs are $20 extra, not free. The upgrade was not paid for, therefore it came standard with a zipper back, as stated in the listing description.
