Suit Question

[jenscats5]

Is this odd???

I sent off my suit deposit, which has been confirmed as being received. And she told me that she will be sending fabric samples to me by the end of this week or by this weekend.....

My comp is 8/27 & this seems awfully to be cutting it close. Or am I just being a worry wart??

I received my suit 10 days before my 1st competition.

Well I guess it just doesn't take that long to sew something so little.....

It just seems to be cutting it close, IMO....but I guess the seamstress knows best.....

all depends on her schedule Jens. I had to send in a deposit to get on my girls calendar and then she set out two days to complete my suits. She was super busy and works on schedule only. She said it only takes a day to construct the suit and a day for the stones to set.

If she says she can have it done, then I'm sure she can. Make sure you remind her that you are right about a month out and you need to be certain she will have it to you at least 10-14 days before to make sure that all is a go. Sometimes there are alterations that need to be done (I think Sassy had this problem)

I would be hella worried right now too.. LOL

Well the deposit got me on her schedule -- got a VM from her last nite that she's had it.....

Still waiting on some prices for other styles.....guess I'll send her a reminder email about those prices + the date again....

Plus I've got to book a hotel room & send in my comp fees, etc...

Worried?? Naaaah!! LOL

You need to stay on her but not be annoying. At least get the schedule. Because you have to deal w/ mailing times, etc. The girl doign my suits needs 8 weeks lead time. She doesn't do it full time but this is the height of competition season and it all depends on her schedule.

Yep -- I don't want to peeve her off!! LOL I guess I could leave her a message saying I got her message & just want to make sure this all fits into her schedule....


Another question -- I'm going to use my figure 2 piece for my BB evening show suit. Does the morning suit (undecorated) HAVE to be the same color??

Saw a few on ebay that might work for me.....

 

[Sassy69]

Nope. Just needs to be plain.

I thought you weren't goign to do BB as well.

Jens.. do you have a BB routine? Have you been working on mandatories? I played with it a little and I must tell you its damn hard to condition your body to hold a pose for long amts of time. If you plan on doing BB you need to start this ASAP.
