Announcements
Spring Break:
The office and Dye Lab will be closed March 9-19. Packages in transit or due to arrive during this period will be held by carrier until our return. Exceptions arriving within this window need special permission and scheduling with Morgan for receiving.
We're running with a small team (growing, but in training!) and appreciate your patience. For fastest response, text the office at 713-364-4628.
Dye Lab News:
Change in our acceptance of some fibers:
Viscose/Rayon (some crepes) gowns are no longer accepted; water alone (even without heat) causes dramatic shrink. We know minimalist crepe styles are very popular, but only poly crepe (or poly/lycra blends) and silk crepe are accepted. Silk projects are sometimes susceptible to shrink as well. We can conduct a complimentary shrink test if a piece at least 4"x4" is provided for silk projects; we can report back with whether shrink occurred or not, but cannot predict how this will precisely effect size or length. As of 6/1/24, all silk projects require a shrink waiver.
We are also recategorizing Poly duchess satin (heavier, crisp satin) as unfit for ombres with colors darker than pastel. We can do all colors for allover or light pastel ombres with duchess gowns.
IT bug:
The email, care@renegadebridal.com is bouncing. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working toward resolving the issue involving Google Workspace. We are monitoring the Shopify inbox messages and in the interim can be reached at design@renegadebridal.com
Rush Availability
Very limited until April 1: Discuss in your consult.
$250 Super Rush (2-Day turnaround)
$100 2-week Rush
Go ahead and schedule your complimentary Zoom consultation now, and we can help you plan timeline logistics. We work from a production schedule that doesn't necessitate your gown being present for you to claim a spot in the queue. We have June brides scheduled for dyeing in April, for instance, whose gowns are still in production from their designers.
Shipping Carrier Alert
The Houston metro USPS (Postal Service) is so disastrous that it's made national news. It takes over a week to get a Priority package across town lately, and we did have inbound packages experience delays. UPS is our preferred carrier and has been operating smoothly. FedEx has also been smooth, but we do not have outbound daily FedEx pickup.
