FAQS:
QUESTION: Is the hemming free?
ANSWER: Yes, pants and tops are able to be hemmed at your local store, free of charge.
QUESTION: How do I get rid of pilling?
ANSWER: Remember to use your item for the purpose it was designed to perform for. For example, Nulu Fabric (in Aligns) should not be used for high-impact activities. Purchase a handheld depillar on Amazon to get rid of common wear in the inner-thigh panels.
QUESTION: Is there a sale section?
ANSWER: We stand by the full value of our products. While we don’t have traditional sales, some items may go on “markdown,” to accommodate over-production. This section can be found on the website under “We Made Too Much.”
