hey y’all! i haven’t talked about it much publicly, but for all of january and a bit of december and february, i was knocked out with a truly gnarly sinus infection and the worst bout of burnout i’ve ever experienced.
between that and the store getting royally screwed over by multiple factors at the end of last year, things are pretty rough right now. i’ll go into this more some time later, but the TLDR is that the majority of the garments we were supposed to have in stock for the holiday season sales were so late they only got ready for sale in the past few weeks.
i know a lot of people are struggling right now everywhere and frankly with ICE still very active in my city it feels incredibly selfish to ask for help when i know others have it much worse, but i’m not really sure what else to do. we have a lot of bills due and thanks to receiving the bulk of our inventory four months late, we don’t have the money to pay them. but we have a lot of things in stock now and it would mean the absolute world if y’all would share this.
the clothing in my store is made with certified ethical labor and is designed by a queer, neurodivergent three person team. we carry sizes S-6X in some garments and XS-8X in others. we specialize in mid- and plus-size clothing and pride ourselves in doing extensive fit tests to make sure our clothes fit properly—that we consider and accomodate things many clothing retailers forget, like the curvature of a belly causing shirts and dresses to ride shorter, like sleeves and necklines needing to be widened, like thighs and fupas existing. and our clothes have real, usable pockets.
we ship domestically from the US and UK!

as a hail mary we’ll be running a sale next week, but some items are very low in stock and expected to sell out on the first day.
thank you in advance for your help!
