Frilie

Small business based in the UK.
All of our items are handmade with care and with attention to detail by our self-taught and self-proclaimed seamstress (me!). Hence, custom orders may take up to 3 weeks to be completed.

I may use "we" pronouns throughout this website, but keep in mind this business is operated entirely by one person. Production, marketing, customer service, all the good stuff. Referring to myself as "we" is a way of manifesting that I will have a team in the future 💌.



TRANSPARENCY

Ethical

All of products listed are handmade in the UK. Prices reflect the cost of producing ethically made garments. To support our local community, we try to purchase materials from other small sellers where possible.



Inclusive

Our handmade dresses are made to your exact measurements, meaning we can accommodate any size and height. We offer lingerie and other items in standard sizing for now, but hope to expand our size range in the future as inclusivity is very important to us. You can always reach out to us out for any custom requests*.

Please keep in mind, as a small business we have limited funds but hope to improve in the future as we grow our team.

If you have sensory issues, make sure to let us know before placing a custom order. We'll advise you on the most suitable fabric choices. We have different fabric options depending on your needs or the look you are going for. You can also refer to our collection of sensory-friendly items as a guide. It includes pieces that I believe are most suitable as they are soft, and you have the option to include or exclude lace which could be irritating to the skin.

You can request different fabric options from the ones our website by reaching out to us*. Examples of fabrics we use: cotton, polycottons, polyester, silk, tencel, viscose etc.

Sustainable

We incorporate sustainability into our brand by operating in a slow-fashion model.

The majority of our items are made-to-order to reduce waste. Our materials are bought in small quantities and are often deadstock or vintage.

When it comes to packaging, our items are gently wrapped in tissue paper and tied with a ribbon. Alternatively, they may be packaged in a handmade draw-string bag made from our leftover fabrics. You can reuse the bag to store any of your personal items. Most of our orders come in cardboard boxes and placed in a plastic mailer bag to protect it. We hope to use alternatives to plastic in the future.

We try our best to reduce waste by reusing fabric remnants to create unique pieces or drawstring bags to pack your orders. Alternatively, we donate our fabric remnants to be used by crafty people in our area 💗
