- Half of the estimated labor cost of your order is due before I start working on the project. If you purchase the materials from me, they must be paid in full before I begin on the project. The rest of the payment is due before I ship the item(s) to you. The final cost will depend on how much time and/or additional materials may be required for your actual garment. You can pay by check, money order, or PayPal. Please allow time for checks to clear.

- Small items, such as threads, needles, and other small miscellaneous items will be added onto the final cost of the garment. I will contact you if these supplies total more than $25.

- Custom made clothing are not returnable. Non-custom made clothing may be returned postage paid if not worn and in same condition when shipped. Returnable items must be returned immediately (within 30 days). Refunds for returnable items will be made minus shipping and handling charges. There is a $25.00 fee for returned checks.

Cancellations:

- If I have already begun work on your garment, and you find you need to cancel the commissioned garment, you may choose to:

--Have me stop work on the garment, and release it to my ownership. I will not return any previously made payments and deposits, but you are not responsible for the final garment cost.

--Have me stop work on the garment, and have the uncompleted garment and materials sent to you upon receipt of any labor and materials costs that exceed any previously received payments.

--Have me stop work on garment for 30 days, while you decide which option will be the best for you. If you still decide you want me to finish the garment after thinking it over, the project completion date will be adjusted by adding the number of days the project was put on hold by you. An additional fee may be charged for an earlier due date.

- If appointments need to be made, they must be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance. If you need to reschedule, please notify me at least 24 hours before your appointment. Missed appointments are billed at $25 each, added to the final cost of the garment. If you do not wear the necessary undergarments to the fitting, there will be no fitting and you will be charged for a missed appointment. Rescheduling is just a quick call or email away. You may call me at 319-366-3193 or email me at gracefullady@gmail.com  Please, no "drop in" appointments.

- Any changes made to the design after this point must be made in writing, signed by both parties, and may result in additional time and labor costs. These changes would be any dimension changes and may be due to or may not, weight loss or gain in excess of 10 pounds.
