Size & fit
Not sure on size? Most pieces fit true to size. Take 30 seconds with our Find Your Fit quiz for a per-piece recommendation, or grab measurements from the size chart.
Between sizes? On bodysuits and bottoms, size up if you want room to dance. On bikinis and tops, size down if you want a snug fit.
Shipping
In-stock pieces ship within 24 hours when ordered Sunday 2pm to Friday 8am PT (next business day otherwise). Standard transit is 3-5 days in the US. Expedited and express options at checkout.
Back-ordered items ship automatically as soon as they’re back, no action needed. International orders ship with duties and taxes prepaid (DDP), so there’s nothing to pay on delivery. Make sure your address is correct at checkout: re-ships caused by an incorrect address are billed to you.
Add Onward package protection at checkout for 6% back as store credit if anything goes wrong in transit, plus a small carbon offset on every order.
Returns & exchanges
45-day return window for unworn pieces in original condition. Final-sale and customized items (custom combos) aren’t eligible. Returns are store credit only, started via our returns portal. A $6.99 return label fee is deducted from US store credit (waived for defective or damaged items); international customers ship back at their own expense.
Got a defect? Email hello@freedomravewear.com with your order number and a photo. We’ll make it right under the Freedom Guarantee.
Care
- Hand-wash cold or machine wash cold on delicate, garment bag recommended.
- Hang to dry. Never tumble dry. Heat kills holographic + metallic finishes.
- Store flat or hung. Don’t fold sequins or rhinestones.
- Hardware (chains, rings, hooks): wipe with a dry cloth after sweaty events.
Treat your piece right and it’ll outlast every festival season. The Freedom Guarantee covers stitching, hardware, and materials for the life of the garment.

Very stretchy, im unusually between sizes on a med and large and they only had a large available as this site is pretty much always out of my size 😕 had to return because they were too big and no option to buy a medium. I like the print and they were comfortable, low stars because I cant order the size I need.
