INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING YOUR MEASUREMENTS, FAQ, AND POLICIES
Please understand that all items are handmade to order, and made specifically to your measurements. These are your base measurements, and I’m aware that they will change over the course of your prep. I’ll check in with you at least once during prep and then again right before shipping to make sure all measurements are correct and that you’ll be fitting perfectly come show day. I will be asking for check in style photos as well.
Take the time to read and follow the measuring instructions to ensure that your suit fits you perfectly. If you have any questions regarding sizing or customization, contact at

You will need a tape measure!
BOTTOMS :
Measure (in inches) high around your hips, at the top of hip bone. The tape measure should be snug, but not tight. You will be able to select bottom coverage in the product page.
TOP:
Include your bra size (e.g. 32C) and the measurement in inches around your ribcage, right underneath the breast. Snug but not too tight.
If you are wanting to accommodate things such as loose skin, c-section, scarring, etc, please contact and we will create your suit together.

FAQ
Q: How long will it take for my suit to arrive after I've purchased?
A: 4-6 weeks(usually less), should you need it sooner, please contact us or purchase RUSH MY ORDER in the Finishing Touches section. Leave your show date in the notes during checkout for all orders.
Q: I want a design or customization I don't see on the website. How can I order something completely custom?
A: Contact us by phone or email and we will bring your design to life! This includes ideas for everyday swimwear, costumes, pageants, etc as well as fitness suits. Even dresses!
Q: Do your measurements account for weight loss during prep and water loss from depletion during peak week?
A: Yes! When your suit arrives it may be just a tad snug. Don't worry! The day of the show it will fit perfectly.
Q: What if my suit doesn't fit?
A: We guarantee your suit will fit you perfectly. As long as you give us the correct measurements, your suit will fit like a glove, and if there is any question or confusion, don't hesitate to contact us and we will walk you through the measuring instructions. We do not accept returns, however we will do everything we can to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Q: How do I know which cut my bottoms should be?
A: We offer three standard cuts, Micro Pro Scrunch is the standard and accepted cut for NPC and IFBB. Original Scrunch is acceptable for most natural shows, WBFF, and other pageants, with the same shape as the pro scrunch, but more coverage. And Moderate Scrunch offers the most coverage. Please check with your divisions guidelines before ordering your suit. As always, if you're looking for something not shown on the site, please contact us.
Q: My show date is pretty far out, but I've decided on my suit. Im afraid my measurements may change. When is a good time to order?
A: You can place the order at any time, but leave us a note of your show date so that we can check your measurements again before shipping your suit.
Q: What if I decide not to compete and don’t need my suit anymore?
A: Once you make a deposit, there are no refunds, and major changes need to be discussed asap and cannot be guaranteed (like changing your color after I’ve already started)..Please remember, I hand make all of these items myself and do not offer refunds or returns.
Q: How do I wash my suit?
A: Hand wash your suit in warm water and detergent, and lay flat to dry. NEVER put your suit in the washer or dryer, and DO NOT use oxyclean to wash your suit, and make sure your detergent does not contain oxyclean.
