When is the Best Time to Order my Suit?
This is a question we get a lot !
Generally I recommend ordering a minimum of 12 weeks out from your show. This helps me to make sure your suit is completed well before your show and ensures that if I need to order any stock in, there is time for it to arrive before making a start on your order.
Feb- June Shows
If you are competing in shows that are earlier in the year, generally I am less busy and can take orders in a shorter time frame. 6-8 weeks is usually plenty of time for these shows.
July- November Shows
For those competing towards the end of the year, I recommend to place your order early ! Remember that you can have your hip measurement confirmed closer to the show if needed. If you are an experienced competitor you can use your previous season measurements (for competitors who have reached the required level of conditioning in a previous show only). The end of season tends to have a lot of shows all very close together and much higher numbers, so this means lots of suits to make ! This season I had to start turning people away in July under Spellbound...
For the upcoming season I will be able to handle more orders but it never hurts to be organized!!
Couture and Specialized Designs
For any Couture (FMG/WBFF) or more specialised designs (requests that might not be on the website), please discuss this with me early in the year. At the start of the year I will have more time to research, design and order specialized stock items. As we get into busy season, my design time will become more limited.
This Is Just a guide, you can absolutely order earlier, but I highly recommend not ordering any later!
