Hi Mochifam!

Thanks for tuning into our eleventh pre-order update. Our factory and warehouse partners are both back from holidays and in full swing! This means you can expect the last of any pending orders for post-CNY shipment to be sent outwith tracking available within the next 48 hours. 

On a side note, we've run into a couple of shipment errors on the following items, which will be addressed in their individual sections: 

• Atlas Moth Cardigan 
• Stardust Strapped Dress 

These shipment errors will affect a large number of associated orders, so please be sure to head to the section for that product to get all the details. Let's get into the updates!

Pre-Orders

The Starry Night Collection has shipped out almost entirely at this stage! Below are the products which have shipped out. Please note that if your order contains products that are still not ready-to-ship, it will be waiting on that final item. 

• Starry Night Skirt w/ Shorts
• Stardust Dance Dress
• Starry Night Pajama Top
• Stardust Pajama Pants
• Starry Night Crop Top
• Stardust Vest & Bowtie
• Stardust Strapped Dress**

The Starry Night Dress is expected to ship in Mid-March. 

**Unfortunately, in fulfilling the vast majority of our Starry Night Collection, a major shipping error has been revealed: 

Our manufacturers have shorted the initial Starry Night Collection shipment by over 20% of the Stardust Strapped Dress count, resulting in a considerable delay on this product for nearly 100 orders. Once we're able to organize the information, we will be reaching out to all affected customers with a new timeline and various options for resolution. 

If your order has yet to ship (i.e. you have yet to receive a tracking number for your order in which every product is ready-to-ship, but includes a Stardust Strapped Dress) it is very likely that your order has been affected by this shipping issue. We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience and encourage customers to let us know so we can assist as soon as possible. 

Timeline:

• Starry Night Dress Estimated Shipping: Mid-March
• Unshipped Stardust Strapped Dresses: TBA

In regards to the Atlas Moth Cardigan, we last updated our customers with information via a critical update email that it would be shipping ahead of schedule with the Cardigans sent out in "Batch Two".

We've since learned that this information was incorrect, and a misunderstanding on the part of our factory liasion. We apologize sincerely for the whiplash-- the Atlas Moth Cardigan is not ready to ship, and will be shipping with the final batch in mid-March as originally intended. We apologize for any confusion or disappointment, and appreciate your understanding.

With the above in mind, our current timeline looks as such: 

Timeline:

• Estimated Shipping Date (Mothman): early-March
• Estimated Shipping Date (Final Batch): mid-March
  
  

Remember that our orders will only ship once every product in the cart is ready to go!
