Why do I need to pre-order?

There’s a list of reasons but the top one is that right now we've got all the fabric we need to make a batch of 20 of all our dresses, that's 120 dresses all in, but we're almost out of money. Without knowing people want to buy them, we can't ask our manufacturer to go ahead and make them, since we won't be able to pay for their hard work. Its important that everyone in this process is paid, and paid well. Ideally we'd be ordering batches of 100 or more, which would be much cheaper per dress, and allow us to sell them at a price that is accessible to more people. Sadly we're not there yet, and to get there we need the support of those that can afford it right now.

It might go against common wisdom and our social conditioning to admit all this, as a business that's trying to look professional. but we're not business professionals, we're three idiots trying to work out how to be good adults on a daily basis, just like you. We believe in honesty and transparency, and in the interests of that, we want to be open with you about what’s happening behind the scenes.

What if you don’t get enough pre-orders? 

our original plan was to try and get enough orders to make a batch by the 20th of January 2024, three months after our shop’s launch. that didn’t happen so we offered everyone who had ordered a choice, cancel the order and get a refund, or keep waiting with the understanding that we just don’t know how long it might take to get enough orders. That’s still where we’re at. anyone that has placed an order with us can request a refund at any point, for any reason, no questions asked. and in case you’re worried we’re hoarding tons of money waiting to make a massive batch, as i said above, we need 20 orders to make a batch, and as of 09/06/2024 we have 2. 2 lovely, understanding people lending us their support, thanks to them!
