GENERAL

Q. How do you define an Ugly Sweater?

Ugly Sweater (noun): An overly-gaudy garment that is often adorned with large applique or knitted cartoon-like figures. The more beading, bells, buttons and sequins - the better!

Q. Are your sweaters used?

Yes. All of our Ugly Sweaters are secondhand, which means they may bear signs of slight wear. If they have major imperfections or significant wear, they have been discounted and the flaw is noted next to the photo. Each and every one of our sweaters has been washed and restored to prime ugliness. Our sweater elves do the hard work for you: removing pills, lint, snags and bad juju, so that your Ugly will arrive contest ready. Guar-an-teed. 

 

Q. I see a sweater I like - do you have it in a different size?
It's possible but not likely. We inventory so many sweaters, it's had to keep track of those that have matching brothers or sisters in the warehouse. Multiple sizes of the same sweater happen, but you will have to dig around on the site to find them.
