Sew Trendy® Processing & Shipping
PROCESSING = TIME REQUIRED TO MAKE YOUR ITEM FOR YOU | SHIPPING = ESTIMATE OF TIME REQUIRED TO SHIP YOUR ITEM
It is important to note that Processing Time and Shipping Time are two very different things.
PROCESSING
You will find different processing times in our store, depending on the item, and the amount of time it takes for us to make it for you. Our processing times vary from 7 business days to 12 weeks. Some of our items offer a rush processing option, which will take the item down to a 7 business day processing, with a fee. Please see more information on Rush Processing below.
We have many items marked Ready To Ship, or RTS. This means these items are already made and do not need processing time. They will leave our warehouse and ship out to the buyer within 1-3 business days of purchase.
RUSH PROCESSING
With the Rush Processing option, you can pay a fee to have your item made faster, if you are soon approaching your deadline. The processing time is adjusted down to 7 business days, and covers the cost of the seamstress to complete the item weeks ahead of schedule. This is in no way related to Shipping or Rush Shipping...only Processing of the item. Shipping costs are in addition to the rush processing fee. Please note that holidays are not included in the 7 business days as our office and production staff are off to be with their families, and the company will be closed. Please plan accordingly! Rush processing fees are non-refundable.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON PROCESSING/SHIPPING
If you are ordering RTS (ready to ship) AND Standard or Rush processing items in the same order, all items will ship together when the made to order gowns are complete unless requested otherwise. Additional shipping charges may apply if you choose to have RTS items shipped separately. Please contact us with any questions at sewtrendycustomerservice@gmail.com.

All claims for packages must go through the carrier chosen during checkout. Please see below for information on late packages.
CUSTOMS • INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
In some cases, there will be VAT or other taxes, customs duties or fees levied by your destination country. Additional charges for taxes or customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs and taxation policies vary widely from country to country. You should contact your local customs office for further information. **When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.**
We are unable to list items as a gift, or write an amount lower than the actual product price on customs forms as it is illegal. If you wish to have the boxes broken up into multiple shipments to avoid customs fees, additional charges will apply.

How to measure for Sew Trendy Gowns
Fitted Gowns
Measurements 1-4 will need to be taken into consideration for fitted gowns. Measure as stated above.
The most important measurements for fitted gowns are the ribcage, belly, and hips. If your event is within 5 weeks, you do not need to add room to grow. If your event is more than 5 weeks out, you may want to add 1-2" to allow space to grow.
After measuring (and adding inches if needed), check the sizing chart to see which area your ribcage, belly, and hips fit into. We want to ensure that the ribcage area will be tight, and the gown will stretch over the belly/hips.
If your ribcage falls into a much smaller size (as many mamas will gain the most weight in the hips and keep a small ribcage), you may want to do a custom fit with a smaller top and large body. Contact us for this option.
If you are a DDD-J cup in your bra size, Select the DDD-J cup option on the listing so we can add height to the top to provide sufficient coverage. If your bust measurement is larger than your hip measurement - contact us as we will need to help with sizing.
*NOTE We always suggest wearing a bra with our gowns as cups are not built in.
Empire Waist/Flowing Gowns
The most important measurements for empire waist are #1 (Bust) and #2 (Ribcage). Measure around your bust and ribcage, and match to the size chart below. If your event is within 5 weeks you do not need to add room to grow. If your event is more than 5 weeks out, you may want to add 1-2" to allow space to grow.
After measuring (and adding inches if needed), check the sizing chart to see which area your bust and ribcage fall into. We want to ensure that the ribcage area will be tight to support the weight of the gown.
If you are a DDD-J cup in your bra size, Select the DDD-J cup option on the listing so we can add height to the top to provide sufficient coverage. If your bust measurement is larger than your hip measurement, contact us as we will want to ensure proper sizing.
*NOTE We always suggest wearing a bra with our gowns as cups are not built in.
