‘Bodicia b’ is a small label run by me, Bodie from my studio in Camperdown, NSW. All pieces are handmade from deadstock and/or recycled fabrics and trims.

@cali_comical is currently working with me once a week to help me with orders, and I am extremely grateful to have such a talented friend come in and work with me!

All pieces are made from dead-stock fabrics, repurposed clothes or locally sourced, second-hand fabrics. Due to the use of these fabrics, there is limited availability for each design I release. Unfortunately, if a piece is ‘sold out’ online, I have run out of the fabric and cannot recreate the exact same piece again.

Occasionally, some dead-stock fabrics I use will have slight defects. I never use any fabrics with defects that impact wearability/longevity, however some do have mild imperfections (often the reason they were discarded by bigger brands). I will disclose these imperfections in the description, so I always recommend reading the description in full. 

I absolutely love working with these textiles as it keeps me on my toes and encourages me to create new designs more regularly than I otherwise would.

PRE - ORDER

Most pieces on my site are ‘made-to-order’, unless otherwise mentioned. Pre-order is usually 3-4 weeks. Because it is only myself designing, making, photographing, doing accounts and running the social media, I need to give myself ample time to make each piece.

RETURNS INFORMATION

For ‘made-to-order’ pieces, I will accept returns but only for store credit. This is because when you purchase a ‘made-to-order’ item, I am making it specifically for you and your size, which means I may not always be able to resell this piece. If you are wanting a size exchange, I do my best to leave a bit of fabric to accept ‘size-swaps’ when they are requested, but sometimes I may need to find a different fabrication to make the piece again.

If there was a mistake with your order, whether it be I sent you the wrong size or there are any imperfections you are unhappy with, I can put through a full refund.

Please reach out to me if you have any issues! As a small business, I am always keen to learn and grow and want you to be happy with what you receive!

SHIPPING

‘Made-to-order’ pieces will be shipped within 3-4 weeks of purchase. More often than not, I will be able to ship your order quicker than this, however this gives me ample time in-case I get a lot of orders at once.

Please contact me before buying if you are in need of a piece for a particular date/need something to be shipped express and I will see what I can do.

I do offer pickups from Camperdown, this option can be selected at checkout.

SIZING

I am working on improving the sizing I have available. Usually, for made-to-order pieces I will have XXS-XXL (UK 4-16) available.

I always accept sizing requests! So if I don’t have your size available please reach out to me and I can make it happen.

PACKAGING

All items are placed in a compostable, sealed satchel which goes inside a compostable, sealed mailer bag. Everything can be placed in your home compost bin, excluding the shipping label (will shift to compostable labels once I have used the ones I already have).

Post-cards can be put in the recycling bin.

CARE INFORMATION FOR CLOTHES

Usually I recommend hand-washing most pieces in a cold-wash with delicate detergent (wool detergent is usually super delicate, and can be used for all fabrics). 

Some pieces are machine-wash safe, but I recommend checking the listing and reading it in full, as I will always specify the best way to wash each piece. Some require more care, if they are made from delicate fabrics.

Hanging to dry in the shade is always recommended, dryers destroy your clothes! Hang inside out.
