FAQs

How long will my order take to be made?

It takes approximately 6 weeks to create a classic bikini from our classic range and 12 weeks for a couture garment. With our couture garments we suggesting placing an order for a custom bikini up to 14 weeks in advance from your competition date. From there we will discuss when you will likely receive your order, generally it is sooner than the 12 weeks allocated. 

In allocated time frames mentioned above we source your material, crystals, connectors and any other resources we need to make your bikini. As we are a small company, we do not stock a large range of 'stick items' therefore we source these at the time of placing an order. 

What if I need a bikini sooner?

Please use our contact form as we may be able to accomodate your specific needs. We carry a small range of stock items so we are able to create garments quickly using these if required, however you may be asked for a small contribution to boost you up the order list, depending on the level of orders we are experiencing.  At times we may advertise on our social media that we have to cut off orders for specific dates that are already full.

At approximately 4-6 weeks out you will receive an email to update your high hip measurement, if you had selected this option at checkout. Please reply promptly to the email. Once confirmed we tighten your briefs to this measurement and dispatch the order out. This can take up to two weeks to update due to the influx of updates all at once. All orders will be shipped no later than two weeks out from your competition show date, or the date that you have put down at checkout. If you require any adjustments please contact us asap, and we will do our best to accomodate you or alternatively offer advice. Please note that your cup size is confirmed at the time you place your order and brief size. The only information updated is your high hip measurement, so please order with your predicted size in mind.

Couture Bikinis

Our couture bikinis can be designed and made with a conscious budget in mind, however we do suggest that you budget for anywhere between $800-$1500 NZD. The more work and rhinestones used, the more costly it will be. We can accomodate budgets that are lower, although the amount of work, and sparkle will be significantly reduced. You have worked so hard to prepare for the stage, your bikini is the finishing touch and should reflect all your hard work.
