Due to increased business and workload, I've found it necessary to revamp my Payment Plan Policies. You can also find the policies HERE.

I will accept payment plans for direct website (online or local) orders only. Any corset purchased on Etsy, eBay, or from any other promotional listing will be required to pay in full.

    -Payments can be divided into two, three, or four equal payments.
    -Payments must be made every thirty days. The first payment is due within 30 days of invoice date.
    -If first payment is not received within 30 days, order will be canceled.
    -If more than 45 days elapses between payments, order will be canceled. Any payments made will be forfeited and will not be refunded.
    -Canceled orders can be reinstated for a $50 reinstatement fee, plus any unpaid balance.
    -Orders canceled due to unpaid balances will be held for a year. After one year has passed, you will be required to place the order again, including measurement form, and full payment.
    -You MUST request a payment plan and a custom invoice from me before placing your order. The shopping cart will not allow you to make partial payments.
    -I am no longer accepting cash, checks or money orders from web clients (local clients that visit my studio may still pay with these methods). All web orders must be paid via PayPal or ProPay.
    -Your order will be placed on hold until at least 50% of the payment is received. After that, supplies will be ordered, and your pattern will be made (a fitting muslin will be made at this time also, if appropriate).
    -Order will not be completed until 100% of payment is received.

I know this probably seems harsh, but I have a business to run. I'm tired of spending hours and hours emailing clients, researching their orders, helping them make decisions, only to be burned by not getting paid. Imagine if you went to work tomorrow, and your boss told you that you had to work for 4 hours, but weren't going to get paid for it. All the time spent working with nonpaying clients could be spent sewing!

I understand that people will ask questions, and often times not order. This is perfectly fine. Purchasing a custom corset is a big decision, and an investment. However, if you get to the point where you request an invoice from me, however, please plan on paying. This is how I make a living, after all.
