Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome to my store.
If you are looking for a special dress, one that defines your unique style and personality, and allows you to stand out from the crowd, as well as caring about the environment and sustainability then this is the place to look. From design to creation, using upcycled fabrics only, I work to produce dresses that are earth conscious products, as unique as each woman is and that can become your heirlooms to pass down. Each one is hand sewn and made with love.
My name is Marie Sophia and I make all of these unique, bohemian style, casual, special event and wedding dresses.
I went to my daughter's wedding in the UK back in the summer of 2014. During my stay I had a dream about a little girl in a shabby rainbow-colored dress. This image stayed with me, so I decided to add to some colors to my skirts and dresses by slitting them open and adding various fabrics into them. Everywhere I wore them women would come to me to ask where I had bought the dress. I then started making them to sell. Since then, I have made over 350 dresses, most of them being bought to be worn as an alternative wedding dress. Making these dresses is my passion and I love it.
As each dress I make is made from eco-friendly fabrics, it makes it impossible to replicate a dress or make one to order. I don't purchase new fabrics as that goes against my sustainable policy.
Sizing; Because of the way I make the dresses I cannot make any over a size 18.
As most of my dresses are lace up there is flexibility in the sizing, most fit numerous sizes and allow for inch loss or gain. Dresses are split up into size categories, XS and small, large and XL, all the others are medium.
I am a Brit living in Missouri and have four adult children, who are my pride and joy.

Returns details
Your dress will come with a security tag. You should not remove it until you are sure you want to keep the dress. Once the tag is removed or has been altered or tampered with you cannot return it. Once you are happy with it the tag can be easily cut off. Do not pull it off as you may damage the fabric.
You will be responsible for shipping costs, and you should obtain a tracking number and insurance for the total price of the dress/s that you paid. I also suggest you also get a signature at delivery. Once I have checked it over and am happy with it, I will refund your money minus a 15% restocking fee. This covers hand washing and pressing ready for sale again.

Sales tax will apply.

Marie Sophia ships out through USPS with 2–3-day priority and only in the USA. You will need to sign on delivery as this prevents theft from a door or porch. I strive to get your order to you as quickly as possible.
