The Honey Bee Summer Gown fulfillment is over 90% complete! If you haven't received tracking for your bee themed dress by May 15th, and it is not waiting on a separate pre-order, please let us know! The Woodland Shorts (Green) fulfillment encountered a potential issue with sizing, see that section for more information.
This month will see many pre-orders begin fulfillment, including the following: The Tea & Roses Sweater & Layered Skirt, the Butter Cropped Skirt and Layered Butter Skirt's second round of pre-orders, the Melon Pan Top & Skirt, and the Death's Head Moth Cropped Jacket. If you've moved or changed sizes since ordering any of the above pre-orders, please reach out to us to update your order!
The Glorp Cat Set will be closing tomorrow night, May 11th, at 8pm EDT, so now's the time to make your purchase if you've been on the fence!
We also opened our newest pre-order for the Vintage Storybook Dress in Green and Red! That pre-order will be closing May 19th, so make sure to grab it before the next newsletter!
We've got a ton of other items launching or restocking this month as well! All this and way more news is below the break!

The Final Approved Sample of the Woodland Shorts (Green)
The Woodland Shorts (Green) were scheduled to begin shipping this past week. We've made the decision to delay fulfillment however, as a larger than average number of exchange requests have come in for the Brown variant that previously shipped. This has led us to expect there may have been a discrepancy between the size chart and the grading between sizes used by the factory.
We have asked that a size Small and XL be sent to us to determine whether an issue is present. We will keep all customers holding this pre-order up to date via MochiPing emails, and inform customers if any size changes are recommended once we know more. For the time being, shipping is on hold while we investigate. Thank you for your understanding, and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@mochipan.com.

The Spanish Moon Moth Dress' Final Approved Sample
The Spanish Moon Moth Dress pre-order closed last week, though due to a size chart issue, production has not yet begun. We identified a disparity between our normal dress sizing and the size chart given to us for the Moth Dresses. The waist measurements proved to be smaller by size than the range of measurements our customers have come to expect.
As such, we will be updating the listing's size chart and sending emails tomorrow to all customers holding this pre-order. Customers will be asked to look over the new size chart (to be uploaded tomorrow), and reach out to us if a change to their order is needed.
Thank you for your patience and excitement regarding this long standing project. We know delays are disappointing to hear, but we want to ensure our customers receive these dresses in a size they will have no issues wearing.
EDIT: Size Chart Update email has been sent.

Our factory partner in charge of this project has given a 2.5 month estimate for production, which we are padding out to 3.5 months. Once the pre-orders end, production can begin, putting our ESD in late Summer.

The Peacock Moth Cropped Jacket Approved Sample

The Peacock Moth Cropped Jacket has been received, and we are happy to announce it has been approved! We will be uploaded photos from our recent photoshoot (sneak peak above) to the listing later this week, and announcing dates for the 1 week Pre-Order window in the next few days.
The listing is already updated with an In Depth size chart, so if you currently hold this pre-order and need to change your size, feel free to reach out to us now at support@mochipan.com!
As with the Mothman Cropped Jacket, we are setting expectations for production to take 3 - 4 months. Tentatively assuming this sample is approvable, a late July ESD should be more concrete.

Sample from Factory Two
We finally have showable pictures of the Love-Me Dress sample from the different factory. While this sample is not yet complete, we prefer for our customers to see progress is being made. One of the main complaints seemed to be the dustiness of the previous sample's colors, so we hope that you like the more vibrant colors chosen for this sample. More works needs to be done before this sample can be sent to us for review, but we will continue to keep you updated every step of the way.
If you have other items on an order with the Love-Me Dress, please reach out! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your understanding.
