They had the cutest watermelon skirt. I've wanted a watermelon outfit since I was a toddler. Not sure why I never sewed one for myself. Today being Canada Day (YAAAAAY FOR CANADIANS NEW AND OLD! We are the most welcoming country to people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, gender identities, languages and religions!), the store isn't open but the website is. Highlights: 1. Free shipping over $25 (not sure if that is a time-limited offer) or you can pre-pay and pick it up in-store. 2. Comprehensive size chart that tells you how to measure (so needed and yet so rarely done well). 3. Generous, easy, clear return policy. Put the free return label on the package, get it to Canada Post and you are done. 4. Wide selection including lingerie, jewellery, accessories, aprons, leggings, scarves and special occasion dresses. I'll post about my watermelon skirt when it arrives!
