I got a suit made from them a couple of years ago and it was a very well made suit. I still have it and it looks as good now (well a little better cause I added more crytals) as when I bought it.

My suggestion is to look at the contest photos that many of us put on our blogs and see which suits you like then you can email the blogger and find out which designer made the suits you like best.

I can't say that was my experience at all; they responded to every email that I sent them within 12 hours. My suit was shipped exactly on the day it they said it would. My friend has a $700 suit and the material is exactly the same. It's only my experience but they did a great job with my suit and I will definitely buy another suit from them.

I didn't have any problems either. I emailed them what I wanted and I got it well before my competition. No complaints here.

I'd order 10-12 weeks out. Some will say longer, some will say shorter. But the average is 12 weeks. Talk to your suit designer about getting a fitting before she/he stones it.

They did the suits for my first show. I have nothing bad to say about them at all.
