📌 Sizing Help, Customisation & Made-to-Order Fashion | Canvas & Weaves

Because Canvas & Weaves is a made-to-order marketplace, many of our garments are produced once an order is placed rather than kept as ready stock.

Sizing can sometimes feel confusing when shopping across different designers and independent labels. If you are unsure about your size, our team is happy to guide you.

Simply share your body measurements — bust, waist and hips — along with the product link you are considering, and we will recommend the best size based on the designer’s fit.

Since many pieces are made to order, small adjustments or customisation may often be possible, depending on the garment and the brand. In most cases this can be arranged, although a small customisation fee may apply. Please note that customised pieces cannot be returned or exchanged.
