Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the products manufactured?

All clothing and accessories are handmade in house by our team. We pride ourselves in the fact that all of Dottie & Mae’s products are made in the USA.

Where do you get your fabric and materials?

At Dottie & Mae, our mission is to reduce our carbon footprint and give textile waste a second life. Our fabrics are all 100% reclaimed textile waste. They may be recycled, deadstock, remnants, thrifted, and even up-cycled/repurposed from vintage clothing and/or household linens (such as sheets, drapes, tablecloths, etc). Many of our notions and trims are also sourced this way, while others are purchased new.

*Due to the way our materials are sourced, we cannot guarantee that all fabric and notions were manufactured in the USA since that information is not usually available when purchasing materials secondhand.

*Due to the way our materials are sourced, NONE of our products are intended to be sleepwear and should not be used as such.

Where do you get your dress patterns?

All of our clothing patterns are developed by Dottie & Mae founder, Kalissa Crawford. While there may be unintentional similarities to other brands, all of our patterns are 100% uniquely Dottie & Mae. This means you just can’t find our dresses anywhere else. Certain artistic liberties may be taken when designing some of our “One of a Kind” pieces, so they may not perfectly match all other dresses of the same type, but this should never affect sizing. Just one more reason why our handmade dresses are extra special and unique!

Do you ship internationally?

Unfortunately, we currently do not ship internationally.

Can I get a refund?

At this time, we do not offer returns, exchanges, or refunds. Each product page offers a size guide, please pay particular attention to these measurements. If you have any questions, please contact us prior to placing your order.

In accordance with US Consumer Law and our Site Policy, which is accepted by the customer at the time of purchase, we are not required to provide an exchange or refund if you change your mind or make a wrong selection.

Exchanges are not given for measurements being slightly off compared to the size chart or for a variation of print. We are a handmade clothing business, and as such, each item is individually different.
