How do I know which size to choose?

Use our size chart to see which size will fit. Our garments are made out of a cotton/spandex fabric with a little give. If you are between sizes, we recommend you order a size larger. Please be sure to check our size chart before purchase because there are no returns.

Is my garment going to look just like it does on screen?

The fabric swatches and embellishments that you see on our website are representations of the garment colors and the embellishments. The colors and tones that you see on your screen may vary slightly from the physical product depending on the ambient light in the room, the tilt of your monitor, and color and contrast settings of your computer. We’ve added a description of the color to help guide your decisions. Every effort has been made to ensure that our color swatches and embellishments are color balanced correctly and show fabrics and embellishments as they appear in person. If you have any questions, please contact us at customercare@fashionplaytes.com.

Are there any special washing and care instructions for garments?

Garments with applied graphics, appliqués and rhinestone transfers should be washed inside out with like color garments. Bleaching is not recommended. Tumble dry at low heat. Do not iron on any garments with special applications.
