If you are completely new to competition bikini shopping, it can be hard to know where to start.  For bikini designs and colours we suggest you get some inspiration from our instagram page @andpose.co.uk or email us to arrange a zoom appointment. If you have a colour design in mind that we have not displayed on our website, we can design this for you.  You will also need to have confirmed with your coach which federation and category you are competing in. Our website will give you more information on design and crystal levels and grades as well as bikini cuts and coverage.

Choose your crystal coverage from our 4 levels, and build your bikini by choosing either the Premium or Smart Range .  Both ranges allow you to change the shape of your bikini, add figure straps whilst choosing from various cuts of bottoms,  fabric & crystal colours, adding connectors, and other optional extras. However within the Premium range you will only be able to select premium grade crystals and connectors, whilst within our Smart range you the option to choose from our Chez glass or our premium/glass blend. Check our website for information on design and crystal levels and grades.

We know how super exciting ordering your bikini is, so to avoid disappointment we recommend you order your bikini as soon as possible, as during peak season our diary fills up quickly and once we are full we will be unable to accept any other orders for those dates.  Should you require your bikini in a hurry please contact us by email. We offer a quicker turnaround with an extra fee for this service.

Do not panic! We can help as we offer a rush service for an extra fee.  If you require your bikini less than 5 weeks from you order, you will need to choose rush order at checkout.

A  non refundable 30%  deposit is required for all stage bikinis, this will ensure your order has been secured and will be deducted off your final bill.  The remaining balance is due before the final work starts on your bikini, after submitting your final measurements.

We offer 4 standard coverage levels : Backstage 30%    Spotlight 50%    Finale 75%   and Crown 100% in both our Premium and Smart Range.

We also offer additional coverage levels of  15%, 40%, 60% and 85%  which are in between our standard tiers to suit your price plan and furthermore we offer the facility to custom design your coverage tailored to an exact price.

Our Premium range features only Swarovski and Preciosa crystal designs whilst our Smart range features a high quality clear Chez glass and a mix of  Chez glass with Swarovksi/Preciosa. Both ranges are designed to build your own by selecting your favourite colour, shape, connectors and crystals.

In short no, we will not copy another company’s design as we like to remain original. and respect the creative of ourselves and other companies. However, we will make our version of the design keeping the same elements that you like.  You can buy this by choosing  ‘Your Own Design’ which is displayed on all both the Premium and Smart ranges and across all the levels.

You can buy your bikini as a set, or if you are competing in separate federations you can buy mix and match.  You will receive a 25% discount of your second bikini/top/bottoms should you choose this option.  We will contact you to arrange the shape/design of the second piece.

We understand choosing your fabric colour is a big decision and we have a colour chart on our competition dropdown menu.  Finalising your colour from a computer or phone screen may not be the best customer experience, therefore to help you see the colour and try it against your skin will give you peace of mind that you are choosing the right colour for you.  We offer up to 5 FREE swatches of your favourite colour which will all be posted to you on our customised swatch card. This is really helpful when it comes to narrowing the colours down and making your final decision.  We are always available to help or advise, just contact us by email or drop us a DM.

We use Swarovski, Preciosa and high quality Chez Glass crystals.

Our Premium range features Swarovski and Preciosa only, however they do come at a higher price point so we have introduced our Smart range which features the highest of quality Chez Glass and you have the option to choose all glass or a mix of the premium plus glass, still ensuring plenty of sparkle.

We will send you an email and a link to submit your final measurements 4 weeks out.  Here you will also be able to pay the balance of your bikini before the work starts.  If you need help with the submission of these we can arrange a zoom call to guide you through or refer to our website for  information on how to measure. We will contact you 2 weeks prior to your show to confirm your hip bone measurement.

If you wish to make any changes to your order you will need to contact us immediately.  We can only assist in making changes if your bikini has not already begun the manufacturing process.

After submitting your final measurements and paying your balance we will  continue the work on your bikini. Just before we ship we will ask you to check your hip bone measurement and your bikini will be with you 2 weeks out from your show.  If you have ordered your bikini in a hurry we will advise you of a delivery date separately.

Yes we ship to all countries, details of our postage and packing can be found on terms and conditions or choose the appropriate shipping country  on checkout.

We make your bikini on your measurements 4 weeks out and final check on 2 weeks out, so your bikini should fit you perfectly as the last 2 weeks you are bringing in condition.  If however there is any reason your bikini can be easily adjusted by the following:

Ensure you bikini top is tied tightly at your neck and adjust the back strap to secure tightly.  Mould your chest into the cups by placing your hands over the cups and circling a few times. Do not be afraid to lift your boobs right up into the bra.  Our bikini tops are designed to fit firm.

Your bikini bottoms can be adjusted by pulling the front and back tabs closer and re sewing down.  This can easily be done by a dressmaker or home sewing machine.  We can also arrange a zoom to see what the issue is if need be and will be on hand for any problems/issues  and alterations you may have.

We make your bikini on your measurements 4 weeks out and final check on 2 weeks out, so your bikini should fit you perfectly as the last 2 weeks you are bringing in condition.  If however there is any reason your bikini can be easily adjusted by the following:

Our Premium connectors are made strong materials and in some cases are reinforced.  We also use Smart connectors which are not re-inforced.  It is highly unlikely that your connector will break as we add fasteners onto your bottoms so that there will be no tugging and pulling on the connectors as you pull them up.  Use common sense though and do not twist your connectors, as this will allow them to weaken.  Store your bikini with the connectors laying flat and avoid storing with other items to prevent them from being crushed.

Whilst posing we recommend you wear your posing practice bikini and not your stage bikini to avoid all risks of damage.

Unfortunately your deposit is non refundable so ensure you talk with your coach and be fully dedicated before making the decision to purchase your bikini.  Please contact us ASAP if you wish to cancel your order.

Due to these items being custom made unfortunately we are unable to accept returns.  However should you have any fitting or fault issues with the bikini then please contact us asap.

Yes we will be offering rentals, we are in the process of setting up this category, so in the meantime if you wish to rent please contact us by email and we will be able to help you decide from our rentals range.

On show day there are so many elements involved that can mark your bikini, from tan, hair spray, make up fall out.  You can gently hand wash your bikini in cool water.  There is a full guide to this on our ordering page so please check this out as this is extremely important to the life and care of your bikini.
