Frequently Asked Questions
-
Frankenstyle is a curated second-hand fashion concept built around identity, not individual pieces. Each drop is a complete wardrobe moment intentionally selected, styled, and sold as one unit. Instead of endless scrolling, you choose a style archetype and size, then receive one box with exact items that already work together. No guesswork, no multiple postage costs just a considered drop, ready to wear and make your own.
-
Start by choosing a style archetype that fits your mood. Each drop is curated around that identity and built to suit a specific size range, with exact measurements provided so you can check fit before buying. Once you purchase, you receive one complete drop in one box with free next day postage included! Wear it as styled, remix the pieces, or make it entirely your own.
-
All Frankenstyle orders are sent via Yodel next-day delivery, free with every order. Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days of being placed. Once your drop has been dispatched, you’ll receive email updates with tracking information so you can follow its journey. If you experience any issues or have questions about your delivery, please contact us via the Contact page and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
-
A style archetype is a clearly defined mood and identity that guides each Frankenstyle drop. It represents an emotional and aesthetic direction how the clothes feel, not just how they look. Every drop is curated around one archetype, so all pieces work together to express that specific style in a complete, cohesive way.
Current archetypes include:
Cry Baby — Girly romantic, soft fits with a gentle emotionally charged mood.
Temper Tantrum — It-Girl, structured, feminine statement pieces with baddie 90s power energy.
Wild One — western, earthy texture with wild and free untamed boho vibes.
No Hard Feelings — soft goth, sultry structure with vampiric power.
Damaged Goods — grungy, soft layering with a bad ass feminine attitude.
-
Each Frankenstyle drop is built through a considered, hands-on process. We source pre-lived pieces that align with a specific style archetype and are chosen to work together as a complete look.
Every item is carefully inspected to meet our quality standards, then cleaned, steamed, measured, photographed, and prepared for dispatch. From this curated inventory, drops are assembled into full outfits with intention and balance.
We list exact flat-lay photography and precise measurements for every piece, so what you see is exactly what you receive.
-
Yes. Every piece is washed, steamed, measured, and carefully wrapped before it’s ever listed.
-
No. Each drop is sold as a complete, one-off set. Items aren’t separated, and drops don’t restock once sold.
-
The flat lay shows the exact items included in the drop. Every piece is listed with measurements, and we always recommend checking them before purchasing.
-
All Frankenstyle pieces are second-hand and carefully curated. We only stock items in very good condition or better. Every item is individually inspected, cleaned, and assessed before being included in a drop.
Each product is clearly rated so you know exactly what to expect no guesswork, no surprises.
We use a simple, transparent condition system:
🖤 UNTOUCHED
As-new or unworn
No visible signs of wear
Fabric, shape, and finish fully intact
Our highest standard
🖤 LOVED
Light signs of wear from careful use
May show subtle fabric softening, light creasing, or gentle wear from washing
Shape and structure remain fully intact
Well cared for, but not as new
The condition rating for each item is clearly marked on its listing.
We do not include items with:
Stains or marks
Holes or tears
Broken zips, buttons, or seams
Significant fabric thinning or distortion
If it wouldn’t make it into our own wardrobe, it doesn’t make it into a Frankenstyle drop.
Second-hand clothing may show very subtle signs of previous wear, particularly on items rated Loved. This is part of their character and longevity, and any visible details are reflected in the condition rating and flat-lay photography.
Every piece in a Frankenstyle drop is individually checked, rated, and shown clearly before purchase.
-
Because each drop is one-of-a-kind and second-hand, all sales are final. To help you choose with confidence, we provide detailed measurements and clear flat-lay photography for every piece. Often more than you’d find with a typical retailer. Please review all details carefully and measure yourself before purchasing to ensure the best fit.
-
All Frankenstyle items are washed and prepared with skin sensitivity in mind before being included in a drop. We use gentle, low-irritant washing methods and avoid harsh treatments wherever possible, so items arrive clean, fresh, and ready to wear. While we take care with cleaning, we can’t guarantee items are completely allergen-free. If you have specific allergies or sensitivities, we recommend washing items again before wear.
-
Because Frankenstyle pieces are sourced across multiple brands and eras, sizing can vary significantly. A UK 10 in one brand may fit more like a 12 in another, and vice versa. To keep things consistent, we’ve created our own Frankenstyle size guide based on actual garment measurements rather than brand labels.
Always use the measurements provided on each product listing and compare them to your own body measurements to ensure the best fit.
Our Size Guide can be found on our tabs. -
Yes. Frankenstyle uses a combination of real flat-lay photography and AI-generated imagery. Flat-lay images show the exact items you will receive, including measurements and condition details. AI images and short videos are used for styling inspiration and social media to show how pieces can be worn together. For accuracy, always refer to the flat-lay photos, measurements, and condition information when purchasing.
-
No. Frankenstyle is a curation platform, not an authentication service. Some drops may include items with recognisable or designer labels, but all pieces are sold as unverified second-hand items. Brand names reflect the label present on the garment only and are not a guarantee of authenticity.
Pricing is based on curation, condition, and styling not brand authentication. If you require verified designer authentication, Frankenstyle may not be the right fit.
