YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Q: How do I know which size to order?
A: In the online shop, all items will either show a ‘to-fit’ size, or you can click on the ‘Size Guide’ and find out what the recommended ‘to-fit’ size for that item is. ‘To-fit’ will be measured in inches and either be a chest or waist measurement, dependent on the garment.

Please try on your new garments as soon as you get home in case they do not fit (see below).

Q: What if I order the wrong size?
A: You will need to email Stitch Design at online@stitchdesign.co.uk, giving them your order reference. State which item(s) need to be exchanged and for which size(s). As long as you do this by the Sunday cut-off, your new items will be available to collect on Wednesday. Please bag up the items you are returning and bring them along, with your ORIGINAL order confirmation, to exchange.

Q: What if I do not have online access or a card to make a payment with?
A: Please speak to a member of staff at the Academy.

Q: I am unable to get to the school to collect my order. What should I do?
A: During term-time, orders for collection will be held at reception for collection at any time. During the holidays they will be kept at the Uniform Shop until collected, or you can pay a postage charge and select a Home Delivery during the ordering process. If you choose this option, you should allow an additional week for delivery.

For all other questions please check the Help & Support section of the website at www.stitchdesign.co.uk or email online@stitchdesign.co.uk
