🖤 A note about your tee & the design

We'll always do our best to retain as much of the original tee design as possible, but the final placement and amount of the original print visible may vary depending on the style you've chosen.

Different garment styles require different cuts, so some parts of the original tee may need to be used differently.

Any remaining fabric/offcuts will be recycled unless you specifically request for them to be returned.

📏 Choosing your size

Please check the relevant sizing guide before ordering, particularly as different garment styles may have different fits and sizing may vary to high-street shops.

Your original tee size does not necessarily correspond to the finished garment size. This depends on the upcycle style you've selected and how the original tee is used. The tee size is only particularly important for adult smocks and elasticated crops, where the original tee size directly affects the finished garment. We recommend going one size down from your usual t-shirt size for smock dresses.

If you're unsure which tee or size to send, please get in touch before ordering and we'll be happy to help.

📦 Sending your tee to us

Once your order is placed, we'll email you our postal address and instructions for sending your tee. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don't see our email.

Please note: You are responsible for getting your tee safely to us. We recommend using a tracked postal service.

Your made-to-order turnaround time does not begin until we have received your tee.
