FAQS

Sizing & Fit

How do I find the right size?
All my sizing advice is in the Size Guide. Buying lingerie online can be tricky, so please don’t hesitate to email me — I’m happy to help you find the perfect fit before you order.

Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes. If you don’t see your size on my standard chart, custom sizing is available at no extra cost. Email me at lea@vanadiscouture.com before placing your order.

What’s the difference between made-to-order and bespoke?
Made-to-order pieces are made to your selected size from my standard chart. Bespoke pieces are drafted entirely from your own measurements. You’ll find full details on my Bespoke Process page.

Ordering & Payment

How can I pay?
By credit/debit card, PayPal, or Klarna/Stripe.

Is it possible to have a short-notice garment?
Depending on my schedule, short-notice orders are sometimes possible. To guarantee your piece is ready in time, I recommend getting in touch 4–5 months in advance, especially for bespoke commissions.

What happens after I place my order?
Once payment is confirmed, I’ll email you to confirm your order details and expected timeframe. For the full terms, see my General Terms & Conditions.

Shipping & Delivery

Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, every piece is shipped internationally using a tracked, insured service.

How long do made-to-order pieces take?
All my pieces are made-to-order in Finland, by one pair of hands, mine. Please allow 3–5 weeks of production time before your garment is dispatched.

Will I have to pay customs fees?
If you’re ordering from outside the EU, your local customs authority may charge duties or taxes on arrival. These are your responsibility and aren’t included in the order price. Full details are in my General Terms & Conditions.


Care

How do I take care of my corset?

Do not wash your corset. A specialist dry cleaner will keep it in its best condition. Store flat, away from direct sunlight and humidity, and always loosen the laces fully before taking it off, to protect the fabric and boning over time.

How do I take care of my lingerie?
Every Vanadis Couture piece is handmade with luxurious fabrics, so it deserves a little extra care:

  • Hand wash cold, using a specialist lingerie detergent
  • Avoid hot washing, it can cause shrinkage
  • Fasten hooks and eyes before washing, so they don’t catch
  • Never wring your garment — air-dry flat or hanging
 
 

Returns

Can I return my order?
It depends on the type of piece:

  • Bespoke garments are made to your individual measurements and can’t be returned, except in the case of a fault.
  • Made-to-order garments can’t be returned for size or preference, as each one is made to your specifications — only for a fault or an error on my part.
  • Ready-to-wear garments can be returned within 14 days of arrival, unworn and in original packaging.

Please email me before sending anything back. Full details are in my General Terms & Conditions.
