What are your shipping and handling charges?

What is your return policy?
If you bought an Oliver + S pattern from a retailer, please contact the store for its return policy. Patterns purchased on the web site may be returned within 30 days if accompanied by the sales receipt and if the pattern has not been opened. (Sorry, patterns are like toothpaste. Once they’re out of the tube there’s no getting them back in.) Contact us for more information about returns.

Why paper dolls?
Who doesn’t love paper dolls? We thought they would be an innovative yet traditional way to show the designs and to make the packaging fun, and the response to them has been amazing! We plan to release new dolls on a regular basis, so be sure to watch for them.
How can I get copies of the paper dolls?
Every pattern ships with a five-inch-high paper doll and outfit.
Who creates your paper dolls?
Our paper dolls are illustrated by Dan Andreasen, a wonderful artist who is represented by Shannon Associates.

Can I make and sell items from your patterns?
We are excited to have launched the first program in the industry that allows boutique sewers to use our patterns for making and selling individual garments. Details of this innovative program are available in the boutique sewer program section of the website.
