Use our measurements form — nine measurements (height, neck, shoulders, sleeve, chest, waist, garment length, and weight). Each field has a photo showing exactly where to measure. No account is needed; if you do have one, the measurements save to your profile automatically.

Whichever you're comfortable with. Toggle the unit at the top of the measurements form — we accept both.

Each piece is cut from your measurements, so fit issues are rare. If something is off, send us photos and the affected dimensions and we'll work with you to alter or remake the piece.

Anywhere. US orders go USPS Priority Mail (2–3 days). International orders ship USPS or UPS, whichever is most reliable for your country. Full breakdown on the shipping page.

Yes — check Express shipping at checkout for an additional $35. That moves your shipment to USPS Priority Mail Express or UPS Overnight (US only). Note: this is shipping speed, not production speed; the garment still has to be made first.

Yes. Customs duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility and are typically collected by the carrier or local customs office on delivery. The amount varies by country and order value.

Yes — once your order ships we'll email you the tracking number.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover — processed securely through Square. Your card details never touch our servers.

Florida residents are charged 7% sales tax on the order total (including shipping). Orders shipped to other states or countries are currently not taxed by us, though international customers may owe local import VAT/duties on delivery.

Yes. A formatted PDF invoice is emailed automatically as soon as your order is paid.

Each piece is custom-made to your measurements, so we generally don't accept returns for fit. We do accept returns or remakes if something is wrong on our end (defect, mistake in execution). Please reach out within 7 days of delivery.

Dry clean only. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade gold and silk threads. Store flat or on a wide padded hanger to keep the shape and embroidery intact.

No. Vestments & Embroidery LLC sells and accepts orders only here on this website and through our official Etsy and eBay shops (eBay is temporary). We do not partner with, authorize, or supply any sellers or workshops abroad to make or resell our items. Everything we offer is designed and hand-made by us here in Florida, USA.

Unfortunately, dishonest sellers sometimes copy our photographs on social media to take orders they cannot fulfill to our standard. Beware of imitations and dishonest sellers: if you did not order directly from us or our official Etsy/eBay shops, it is not our work.

Vestments & Embroidery LLC is based in Longwood, Florida, USA. Every piece is designed and made in our atelier — nothing is outsourced.
