Why do you want my measurements ?
Providing us with your measurements helps us ensure you receive the best size for your build. Every company sizes differently and sizes even vary with brands from style to style or between different fabrics. Working with your measurements helps us minimize returns & exchanges and enables us to provide you with the best service. As a thank you for providing your measurements we will issue you a $15 shipping credit on your first order.
I don't see what I am looking for. Is this everything that you offer?
The selection in our stores is vast and it is impossible for us to upload everything onto our website. Email us to receive a personalized inventory of what we have in stock in your size. Want the same style that you bought from us 15 years ago? If you are in our system, we can look up your purchase history and find you the same fit you loved in the latest color trends. Looking for something specific? We are happy to place special orders and help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Why are you recommending a different size than I usually buy?
If we don't think the size that you are ordering is the best fit for you we will contact you and let you know. Our goal is first time fit success. We will never edit your order without your permission. If you would prefer to compare our recommended size with the size you are requesting, we can attach a home-fitting pass to our recommendation. If we are wrong, you can return the item for a full refund with no penalty. If you keep the size we recommend and return the size that you originally requested, it will be subject to our usual return policy.

How did Lion's Lair get its name?
Lion's Lair was founded in 1996 as an outlet for the artwork of our company's owner, Kimberly Berger. The original 700 sq ft store was named for the majestic cats that were her favorite subject. No longer an artist's studio, Lion's Lair's original brick and mortar Florida Keys location has grown to occupy 4000 sq ft, and has evolved into a destination store for women in search of specialty sizes. A second location was opened in High Springs, Florida in 2019.
