sizing for competition bikinis  

 

there is additional sizing info on the "how to measure " page. Once you've measured,  you can order right from the website.

 

Triangle tops come in sizes A- DD, pretty much run to size, and are cut narrower than figure suit tops.

 

However, if you are ordering the molded cup option, please be aware that the A & B size runs true, but the C, D, and DD run large. If you're an A, order the A. If your'e a B, order the B, but we will add pads. If you're a C, the B without pads will fit. If you're a D, order a C. If you're a DD, order the D, and if you're a DDD, The DD will fit.  We don't recommend molded cups for gals with implants- the triangle tops work best!  

 

We also take into consideration that all manufacturers size their bras differently. Many clients wear Victorias Secret bras, and they are vanity sized. We find that clients usually wear one cup size smaller in our bikinis and figure/physique suits.

 

XS bottom hip 30-33 inches or 76.2 - 81.28cm

S bottom hip 34-36 inches or 83.8-88.9cm

M bottom hip 37-39 inches or 91.44-96.52cm

L bottom hip 40-42 inches or 99.06-104.14cm

 

 

I have had many clients ask about coverage for caesarian scars and have found that raising the front rise 1/2"(1.27cm) seems to take care of the situation. If you have concerns of this nature, let me know. As I said previously, suits are custom made, and can be cut specially for you. However, suits that are specifically cut differently from our patterns are NOT returnable.

 

SPONSORSHIPS   We offer limited sponsorships- please note 2024 sponsorships are already applied

 

PAYMENT  Payment is accepted via Paypal on the website . It isn't necessary to have a Paypal account to remit- you may check out as a guest. If you prefer to pay by another method, we offer Venmo, Zelle, and Cashapp .  Just let us know which of these are your preferred method and we will invoice you manually.  

 

GIFT CERTIFICATES  We have them!  In any denomination. Contact us to order one to gift your favorite athlete!

 

 

If you decide to change the fabric on a suit, you may order as shown, and then drop us a note on the contact page to let us know which fabric you'd like instead.   There is no extra fee to change suit fabric or color!

 

 

SUIT TURNAROUND   We have found that a  4-6 week turnaround holds true for the most part.   However, this changes on a daily basis, depending on the time of year, how many suits are ahead of you, and what kind of suits are ahead of you! Best plan is to contact me when your suit is ordered and at that time, we can give you a pretty good estimate of when your suit will ship. We usually err in YOUR favor, and can absolutely state that we have have never been late with a suit. If we can't have it to you for your bikini competition or figure competition you'll be notified before you go ahead and order it.   Nobody needs that kind of stress.  Practice  suits  leave here in 7-10 days  . Bikinis with crystal connectors, but no additional embellishment usually make it out of here in 7-10 days too.

 

 

If you order a suit months in advance of your show date, we will get to it as soon as possible, but if another client orders after you and needs a suit for a show date before yours, we have to bump you for a bit. Competition dates trump everything else here , so please have patience...you will still have your suit a few weeks in advance of your show.

 

 

SUIT RETURNS  There is a limited return policy!  We will accept a return if we made a mistake- wrong color, wrong connectors, different size than what was ordered.... Returns on bloopers must be made within 10 days of receipt on UNWORN  suits.   A refund is issued after suit inspection.

 

We don't accept returns on a suit that has been altered from our patterns to meet clients needs, such as widening or raising the crotch, or a back bottom width that is different from our norm.

Only unworn suits are accepted back for refunds. If you decide to exchange for a different suit, or a different color, I must ask you to cover shipping for a new one back to you.

Refunds are  credited back to your Paypal , Zelle,  Venmo, or Cashapp account

SHIPPING   Suits are shipped both DOMESTIC and INTERNATIONAL ! WORLD WIDE SHIPPING!!!

Shipping is via USPS- fees are as follows;

USPS first class $9.00

US priority   2-3 day $17.00. Show suits are shipped priority in a medium box to accommodate the storage box that comes with each stage suit.

US overnight               $40.00

International priority $45.00 10 days-2 weeks

International Express $60.00 7-10 days

 

INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS Please be aware of your CUSTOMS and VAT fees. If this is to be a gift, please let me know- I will mark it as such on the customs declarations form... Also, please allow enough time when ordering to allow for any hold up through customs. It's difficult to foresee when this may occur so ordering at least 8-10 weeks in advance will ensure your suit arrives in time.
