FAQs + Shop Policies
Welcome to Mitzi Loves Dottie, a small business that's run by me, Tori. I take preloved clothing and textiles, vintage and donated yardage, and recreate them into bonnets, giving them a whole new life. New bonnet collections are added to the website on the fourth Sunday of every month. Collection bonnets are ready to post and come with a 2-3 turnaround time. In addition to collection bonnets, I also offer made to order, custom, and surprise bonnets which you can learn more about here. A couple times a month, I release bonnets in a special collection. These are bonnets that I design for the fun of it and can only be accessed via my Instagram stories.
