FAQs

Here are my best answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions on my social media/website! 

Care instructions

I recommend washing and drying on cold/low, as it maintains the material better and saves energy. Although the painting should not wear off, I would avoid heat.  Bleach designs won't fade; however, the fabric could start to weaken in the places where they were bleached and appear more distressed...

 I appreciate feedback on how the quality has held up over time. 

Sizing 

If you don’t see a representation of your size, please don’t hesitate to ask me to stock up (clutterflycreations1@gmail.com) or DM me @clutterfly_

If a size is listed as M-L that means the clothing item is between sizes

Clothing brands size at different rates, and sometimes the size listed on a tag seems so super off so I try by best to size accurately.. any feedback appreciated. 

 

Restocking

I usually restock the shop every two weeks! 

Every item is hand-painted individually, with no tracing or stencil, so they are very much One of a Kind, and nothing can be restocked, but I can do my best to re-create pieces.

 

Custom orders

As for now, I am not taking any custom orders...sorry :(

 I will take any requests or suggestions into consideration!!! just DM me or submit a comment in the contact page. 

Materials

 I work with bleach, acrylic-based fabric paints, and fabric dyes. I use a handful of brands and types of paint that are non-water soluble when dried and cured. The designs should not fade!!

If you are seeking paint recommendations, I suggest starting out with any basic acrylic paint. If you've accidentally spilled acrylic paint on your clothes, you'll notice it never washes out! Great place to begin. 

I also have some products I've used in my Instagram story highlights! I'm just not affiliated with or partial to any brands atm. 

Sourcing 

As for the garments themselves, I source most at Goodwill warehouses, the last stop that secondhand goods make before transport to landfills.

I also repurpose discarded clothing from friends and family, and occasionally pieces I find at other thrift stores besides the bins and some stuff that I used to wear. 

Thanks for shopping <3
