FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is “made to measure”
    In a bespoke setting, we interact directly with you and receive your precise measurements. You will provide the same, oftentimes more detailed, measurements on the garment page to order. From there, we will craft a custom pattern with all your measurements, then cut and sew the complete garment. With made-to-measure, you are welcome to request more custom details as well, such as changing the color, length, or sleeves. You can find more of that information under our custom looks policy.
  • What is “made-to-order”
    Made-to-order is our non-custom garments. These garments are customized based on specific customer demand, rather than being produced in anticipation of demand. When you purchase a garment made-to-order, we receive your order and customize the garment based on your measurements. We adjust a pattern or garment according to the information you provide.

  • What if my order arrives and it doesn't fit?
    Our technology greatly reduces the likelihood that your garment will not fit you properly if you provide the correct measurements, but we understand that human error can occur and we ask for your understanding as well if that were to happen. Please see our "shipping and returns" page for more info.
  • What does "ethically made" and "sustainably functional" mean?"
    At Litany, it is of utmost importance to us to uphold the dignity of each person that will design, produce, or wear our garments as well as be good stewards of the earth and its resources. Therefore, we take the extra steps to work with suppliers in the US who pay their workers a fair wage and produce high-quality, natural fabrics. We price our garments to reflect the reality that doing things right requires a bit more money in every step of the process. "Sustainably functional" fashion refers to a unique attribute of most of our garments: they are made to be worn in many different ways. We believe that in order to adopt a slower and more intentional approach to fashion, clothing should be able to change and adapt to different settings, seasons of life, and simply the whims of the wearer, so that we do not need so many one-dimensional garments in our closets.
