THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO ORDERING CUSTOM DESIGNED SOLO PERFORMANCE COSTUMES FROM SATIN STITCHES®

Since you're reading this far, you may already know that Satin Stitches® manufactures only custom designed performance apparel; dance, skating, frontline, whatever. We don't have a catalog of cheap, poorly designed, cookie-cutter fashions! BUT, you ask, "how do I order performance wear if I can't just pickup a catalog, chose a boring Style Number, phone in my Visa number and wait 4-6 boring weeks for my boring outfits to arrive?"

Well, at Satin Stitches®, we have been answering that question FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS! In 10 steps, Here's How This All Works!

 

Step 1) You, the customer, ask yourself three important questions:

  • Do I want something that I can't find anywhere else; something really special, an idea that I have in my head, a different version of a style in a catalog - that is really fabulous?
  • Do I know that I can't sew it myself, I don't have a local dressmaker with the talent for the job, or that I just wouldn't be able to find the right fabrics, trims or even a pattern? 
  • Do I have a budget that could accommodate the higher price of a custom design, perhaps $400 - $800, instead of a boring stock catalog design of $80 - $200?
If all the above answers are YES, then do we have a deal for you!

Step 2) Pick up the phone and dial 763-323-9507 or 1-800-48-SATIN (72846) or e-mail us during our business hours Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Central Time.

Step 3) Someone from Customer Service will answer. Tell them you'd like to order a solo custom designed performance costume from Satin Stitches®.

Step 4) Here's one of the scary steps! The Customer Service person will grill you about your answers in Step 1. Don't worry! - They won't bite and this will give us (and maybe you) a much better idea of exactly what you want.

Step 5) We will ask you to send us something on paper that resembles what you're now considering to have custom designed: a picture, a sketch, a catalog page with changes, or even a stick figure with your best first grade rendition of your design.

Step 6) At this point, our fashion design team will look over what you sent. They will recommend whatever technical or artistic changes may be needed to make a workable, producible, dazzling high fashion design. You will receive a fully detailed sketch, with fabric & trim swatches, for your approval or disapproval, or with changes.

Step 7) A final sketch will be approved by you. You will send us a 50% deposit via check, money order or call in your Visa or MasterCard information. You will send or fax us your measurements on our Satin Stitches® measuring chart, taken according to our instructions.

Step 8) We will order the fabric and trim, make your pattern, cut out and baste together your costume and then we will send you the costume for a fitting, where you will be able to dictate the exact fit and styling that you would like. You will send the costume back to us so we can finish it up for you.

Step 9) Your final bill will be tallied, according to the cost of materials and labor. You can "charge" the balance or sent it to us before we ship, or we will send it COD to you. YES, this is more work than ordering a cheap catalog outfit, but you're in control all the way!

Step 10) Sit back, sip an iced tea, and wait for your sensational performance apparel to arrive!
