FAQ

Sizing Availability

Because we are a made to order business, we’re often able make a product in any size should the item show as available. If the item is showing unavailable in your size, send us an email at info@thelocalwoman.com and we'll move the inventory around for you. 

Stock Availability

Available products will show as in stock, however, you can subscribe to the product back in stock notification should you hope to hear about an item that's no longer available. 

Please note that we do make quite a few items that are limited run, so if you have your eye on something, get it while you can! There’s a chance it will sell out.

When your order is placed, you will receive an order confirmation via email. Once your items have been made, an additional shipping confirmation email will be sent. Although we often ship items faster than the estimated time frame, we recommend allowing for the specific time period detailed in the product description.
