When Should You Order Your Suit?
Competition physiques change during prep, which is why most competitors order their suits early in their prep season.
Ordering early allows time for:
-
production
-
final adjustments
-
practice posing in your suit
This helps ensure you feel confident and fully prepared by show day.
If you are unsure about timing, Holly is happy to help guide you through the process.
