Bubblegum Knit

Buying online and getting the right size can be a tricky thing! Especially when boutiques (like us!) stock more than one label. Each item on our site has specific notes in the description regarding fit, so be sure to take note of them. We try to make as many important notes as possible including whether the fabric is stretchy, certain design features and how the style is meant to fit the body. 

When choosing the right size for you, remember to take a few things into consideration. Whether the fabric has stretch or not, whether the garment is designed to be loose or fitted and how you would like the garment to fit on you, etc!

Remember that the size guides are meant as a guide only and aren't necessarily specific to each garment. If you're ever unsure and want extra help choosing the right size for you, we'd love to help! Just email us at info@blushclothingplayhouse.com so we can chat x

PLEASE NOTE: the following guide is generalised and not style specific, but rest assured we're working on implementing charts for each style and garment on the website sometime soon so keep an eye out.

For our label, the general size guide is as follows: 

SIZE	BUST (cm)	WAIST (cm)	HIPS (cm)
4	75cm	65cm	90cm
6	80cm	70cm	95cm

Let me tell you why our 'house made' range is so important to us 💗

Mum's been in this industry for years. I'm talking decades. She worked her ass off and got to design for some biiiig names at a very young age, and back then the Australian textile industry was a whole different game.

She took some time out of the industry to be a mum, and by the time she re-entered it again full time (taking me along for the ride with her this time 💁🏻‍♀️), the industry and the manufacturing process looked a whole lot different. 

She remembers the years where the majority of production was done on shore. Where fabrics were knitted and woven domestically, where all design and development work was done in house and where the production of the garments was predominantly done locally. A time when the Australian textile industry was protected by the government enforcing quotas and tariffs on off shore production. 

Now, as we all know...that changed drastically with a change in priority by the government, the majority of the work then going off shore and the Australian textile industry now lacking the capability to do a lot of those things anymore. 

BUT we love that there's a movement to bring Australian made back, and while there's still a whole lot of limitations on what we can actually do here, our 'house made' range is an effort from us to contribute to the movement. These pieces are designed, developed and handmade in our Melbourne warehouse using the most luxe fabrics we can find, some of which are also knitted here in Melbourne. A true blast from the past, but in the best way possible 🇦🇺

We have BIG dreams. As of the 1st of January 2024, we've committed to doing all of our production on Australian shores to be as sustainable and ethical as we can possibly be. We are clearing out old stock (check out our sale section!) and are busy designing new styles and creating new systems to be able to handle all of our production in house. It's a big process with a whole lot happening behind the scenes that most may not recognise, but we are dedicated and we are excited! 🥰🌷✨

RETURNS 

If you receive your items and they don't fit properly, don't worry! We've got you covered! We offer returns for store credit on all items (excluding sale items/orders unless faulty) no questions asked!

If there is an issue with your item and you want to return it, please contact us at returns@blushclothingplayhouse.com and provide your name, order number and the details of the issue. Once you've received authority to return your order, we will send through all the info you need and you can send it straight to us!

For an item to be returned:

- All items must have original tags still attached.
- There must be NO damage to the items (i.e. marks, tears or makeup stains). 
- There must be NO different odours (i.e. perfume, deodorant, smoke etc.) and the item must be unworn and unwashed.

- A return will only be accepted if we are contacted prior for authorisation and your return is received within 14 calendar days of you receiving your order.

You will be issued store credit for your return. Store credit will be issued when we receive the returned items in their original condition and process your return. You will only be refunded via your original payment method for faulty/damaged items.

* Please note -

You will not be refunded for the shipping cost of your original order when you return something. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.
