HOW ARE YOUR PIECES SIZED?
We developed our sizes after making pieces for hundreds of different bodies. This allowed us to find trends in sizing and fit, leading to sizing that embraces many different shapes and builds. When looking at our size chart you may find that you can wear more than one Bawdy Love size. This is because our pieces are extra stretchy, and can typically accommodate a wider range of bodies than most clothing. For most customers, we recommend going with the size you fall towards the middle of, however if you are the type of person who likes things tight/loose, are expecting serious body fluctuations, or just want to grab the last piece available, any piece who’s size range covers you should work.
WHAT IF MY SIZE ISN’T AVAILABLE?
You still have some options. Most of our pieces are extremely stretchy, allowing you to often fit in the next size down (this is especially true for harnesses). You can also wait for a Sample Sale, or make a custom order. Sample Sales happen twice a year and are announced via our newsletter. These sales include pieces worn by models, unworn returns, and pieces with minor manufacturing defects. Custom orders open several times a year to our Patreon members, and allow you to order anything from a catalog piece to something new in the fabric of your choice.
WHAT IF THE PIECE I WANT IS SOLD OUT?
We welcome you to join our Patreon and place a custom order when spots open. Ordering custom allows you to get anything from a catalog piece to something new in the fabric of your choice.
DO YOUR PIECES ACCOMMODATE BODY CHANGES?
Yes! Our pieces are very stretchy, and will continue to fit during weight gains and losses, and body changes. Founders Gwynedh and Candace have worn their pieces during pregnancy and significant weight changes.
DO YOU MAKE CUSTOM DESIGNS?
We do! We love collaborating with you on one-of-a-kind pieces. Members of our Patreon get first dibs on our custom spots which open 4-6 times a year, along with lots of other exciting perks.
ARE YOUR PIECES SWIM SAFE?
Yes, most Bawdy Love pieces make amazing swimwear for fresh water, salt water, and chlorinated water. Although they are fabulous poolside, we advise against wearing lace, cotton, or velvet pieces as swimwear.
