This top is a bikini style top and some dancers may find it does not offer a lot of support.  Adding bra inserts or strategically placed appliques can help.  Bra inserts are available on Amazon or you can purchase them on my site as well.  They will be shipped when the costume is shipped. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***There are two types of costumes I offer: Made To Order and Ready to Ship.  This is a Made To Order costume and may take approximately 6 to 8 weeks for production.  However, during peak season September through January, production times can run 10 to 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for something in stock, please look at my Ready To Ship section of the website or feel to visit my Discounted Etsy Store (link below) where you can get a great deal on discounted and leftover items.  Buy the leftover item on sale, then purchase the matching top or bottom! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscounted (Extras): https:\/\/dancebasestore2.etsy.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOSTUME INFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLined with cotton blend rather than synthetic material.  The straps are made for a range of builds, but some find minor alterations necessary.  Any local tailor can easily take in\/out and make alterations.  My tailor in the mall charges a few dollars a strap and they have it back to me within a couple days.  However, some find the top fits well and no alterations are needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI started out by making my own designs but soon realized I cannot keep up with demand, I can’t possibly sew 50 to 100 costumes a week.  But the good news is that I have partnered with a production team that 1) helps me keep up with demand and 2) keeps the cost on the budget friendly side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypes of Costumes Offered:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBudget Friendly Catalog Costumes:\u003c\/span\u003e These are standard costumes made by my production partner for me and a variety of other retailers.  Many of these catalog designs I offer are ones that I designed and created myself, the production partner just brings them to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCustom Design Costumes:\u003c\/span\u003e These costumes are designed by me in collaboration with my production partner.  The quality of these items is typically no different than the budget friendly costumes, however what is different is the design and the design process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCustomizing an existing costume:\u003c\/span\u003e I also offer the ability to customize an existing costume for a small fee.  For instance, you found a costume you like, but it only has one sleeve.  I can add one for you.  Or perhaps you fell in love with a costume but wish the skirt was different, no problem.  Or maybe you want a custom color combination such as royal blue mesh with navy spandex or champagne with white mesh.  I have you covered. Please message or email me for more information.  Please note, during peak season, it may take me a few days to respond, but I will do my best to respond as quickly as I can.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*I do not offer fully costume costumes at this time, but again, if it is a matter of changing an existing offering, that I can do. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the costumes I offer are \"bases\" and are meant to be embellished or stoned.  For instance, some costumes may not offer much support for older\/mature dancers, but customers can add inserts to the top and strategically place appliques. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZING: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are not street sizes - please double check the size chart typically pictured toward the end of the photos.  Just because your dancer is an AS in street clothes does not mean they will be an AS in this costume.  Proper and accurate measurements are essential. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following measurements are necessary for your order: \u003cbr\u003e-    Chest\/Bust \u003cbr\u003e-    Waist \u003cbr\u003e-    Hips (low)  – the widest part of the bottom, not the hip bones\u003cbr\u003e-    Girth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***You can find more information about sizing under the \"Sizing and Measurement\" Listing  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a dancer is on the higher end of the range, it will be tight since that is the maximum a person can be and still fit into the costume.  Also make sure you are measuring low hips and not high hips, which is a common mistake.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eExample:\u003c\/span\u003e If your dancer is measuring hips at 32 inches and the range is 30-32 inches, the costume will be tight since 32 inches is the farthest the material can stretch.  Essentially, the costume is made for 30 but can stretch to 31 or 32 if needed.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist and hip ratio also play a big role.  For instance, if your dancer is measuring 28 inches for the waist (TL range) but only 35 inches for the hips (TM range) the Teen Large would be the appropriate size as the Teen Medium will be too tight around the waist, most likely making the hips too tight as well.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/4051\/5745\/files\/DBS_Size_Chart_3315dffc-565c-49e4-91a8-2d774567b2f5.png?v=1772886888\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent sizing from top and bottom is available - you will need to purchase the top separately from the bottoms (do not buy a set as we cannot split sizes in that way for inventory purposes). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we do our best to ensure an accurate fit, but body types play a huge role in ensuring proper fit.  Some alterations may be needed since this is not made to the dancer's exact measurements. The Dance Base Store is not responsible for alterations should they be needed.  Just like clothing purchased in a store, not all styles may fit well just because it is the right size.  Keep in mind, these are budget-friendly costumes, and even with potential alterations, the total cost is typically much lower than that of a custom-made costume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***If you have questions on sizing, you can always send me the measurements and I will advise on the best fit. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince body types and shapes vary, it is likely that you may have to have alterations to any costumes that are “strappy”.  As noted above, alterations for strap adjustments are easy and affordable and will give the costume a “custom fitted” look.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREFUNDS\/CANCELLATIONS: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustomers are responsible for ordering the correct size and color.  The Dance Base Store is not responsible for incorrect orders made by the customer, whether that is size or color. Customers have 24 hours to correct or cancel an order.  Otherwise, the costume will be sent to production with no refunds\/cancellations. If you need to cancel\/change an order within the 24 hour period, just send me a message. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no refunds or cancellations to Made To Order costumes after the 24 hour period. Therefore, it is best to make sure your measurements and sizing are accurate, and that you ordered the correct color, etc.  All costumes are inspected prior to shipment, but in the rare case a defect is overlooked, an exchange\/refund is acceptable.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring peak season, orders can take up to 10 to 12 weeks so please plan accordingly.  Once an order is placed, there are no cancelations for any reason (after the 24 hour period) even if there are production\/shipping delays.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll orders are shipped via USPS Ground with tracking number unless upgraded at checkout.  You will be able to track your status through your email notifications. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dance Base Store is not responsible for shipping delays due to the carrier (USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc.)
