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
