We have made 1000’s of suits, so the sky the limit! Let us know your ideas for your unique custom suit. I also offer, free one on one design service. Contact me to set it up.
ONE ON ONE DESIGN PROCESS - Design Consultation. We will chat about the details of your suit and design it together. Color and fabric, connectors, crystal design etc. You can find all of these on my website and/or I can send pictures and or sketches of everything directly to you via email. If you have a specific fabric or color, connector etc in mind that you do not see, let me know. I have a large variety of fabrics, and embellishments for special order.
WHEN TO ORDER- The best time to order your suit is 8-12 weeks or more out from your contest. Please order as soon as possible to “get your place in line”, as we are very busy and it is first come, first serve. Placing your order as early as possible, ensures your spot is saved. If you are closer to your competition, contact me to check availability.
BUDGET- If you have a budget you would like to stick to, I can design your suit accordingly. Let me know and I can send you ideas to choose from within your budget. I have beautiful suits in all budgets.
SUIT STYLE AND CUT - Is there any special needs you may have? A lower abdomen scar, or more supportive top? We will discuss what top and bottom style is best for your body. The bottom back coverage will be according to your federation requirements.
MEASUREMENTS - *We realize you will most likely have weight to lose before your contest. We will ask you closer to the contest for your measurements to ensure a great fit. I will need your measurements when you are within 10 lbs out from contest weight. Then I will ask for measurements again just before you suit is finished and adjust the suit if needed. I will send you a picture of your finished suit to approve.
SHIPPING- Shipping is express and 3-4 days. You will receive your suit 4-5 weeks before your contest. Unless, you do not have weight to lose and we have discussed you receiving it earlier.
PAYMENT PLANS -It is ideal to pay for your suit in full but in certain circumstances you may want to set up a payment plan. If you would like to set up a payment plan, please contact us. This will not process through our shopping cart. You must contact us.
DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS - Deposits and payments are non refundable. Due to the custom nature in the design process and time involved in before your suit is even made, in ordering specific crystals, fabrics, and connectors for custom suits, deposits and payments are non-refundable. Once you order your suit, the deposit/payment money is spent on the crystals, fabric and embellishments for your suit. It is also spent on the actual time involved in designing your unique suit, and time spent with you the client in the design process. By placing a deposit, you are also saving a spot. If you decide to not compete, or due to CONTEST CANCELLATION, your deposit/payment, fabric, crystals, connectors are then saved until you are ready to compete. If you decide not to compete in your original competition, let us know ASAP with an estimated new competition date so we can move your order to the appropriate competition dateline.
PAYMENT PLANS- All payments must be made on agreed dates. All suits must be paid in full before they are made.
