Delivery & Turnaround
All La Principale clothing is hand made and most often made to order. Therefore, production can be lengthy. Every La Principale piece is handmade in our own La Principale workshop in Siberia. We produce there to ensure both the highest quality possible and a good and humane working environment for our employees. There are strict working conditions and laws that we must adhere to, including government mandated holidays and days off. These factors will affect your production time. During holiday periods orders can take up to several weeks longer than what we normally announce at the time of making your order. Since we cannot foresee the number of orders that will come in during a given period, we cannot advise you at the time of purchase. We can only inform you of the possibility of delays during the busy periods and vacation periods. All we can ask is that you please be patient with us.
The turnaround time for an order that we declare at the point of sale does not reflect the additional time that it takes for the order to get to you, it is merely the production time. Once the order has left our workshop we cannot promise or give an exact date of delivery for a number of reasons, because we have no control on the different postal services that will handle the packages. Any claims or complaints in relation to a time after the shipment of your order, you must file with the according delivery service. If your order is returned to us as undeliverable, we will notify you immediately to arrange to resend the package.

Fabric
Fabric care: Hand wash only in cold water. Use very mild detergent. Do not iron. Do not use a dryer- lay flat to dry.

Sizing
Our standard sizing chart is general and is based on the fact that we typically cater primarily to semi-professional and professional dancers. All La Principale models have been specifically designed for the dancer's body and therefore may fit other shapes improperly. Not every model is meant for every body type. To get a perfect fit we advise you to take the measurements according to our tutorial and order a CUSTOM FIT leotard.
