What crystals do you use on your competition suits?

We exclusively use genuine Swarovski® Crystals for maximum sparkle under stage lights. We have been using Swarovski® Crystals since 1996 — the best shine available for NPC and IFBB competition.

We specialize in custom and in-stock competition suits for NPC, IFBB, and other federations, including Bikini Competition Suits, Wellness Competition Suits, Figure Suits, Physique Suits, Men's Classic Physique Trunks, and Bodybuilding Posing Trunks.

FAQ | Custom Competition Suits & Posing Bikinis Sizing & Shipping

What types of competition suits do you make?

We manufacture custom competition suits for every NPC and IFBB division, including Bikini, Wellness, Figure, Women's Physique, and Men's Physique. Our suits are manufactured in Clearwater, Florida using genuine Swarovski® crystals and premium competition-grade fabrics including hologram, velvet, and Lycra.

Where are SY Competition Suits manufactured?

All of our competition suits are manufactured in Clearwater, Florida, USA. We have been manufacturing competition suits since 1996. Every suit is built in our Clearwater studio by our team, giving us full quality control from fabric selection to final crystal placement.

Do you use real Swarovski® crystals?

Yes. Every crystal competition suit we manufacture uses genuine Swarovski® crystals — not imitations or Chinese rhinestones. Swarovski® crystals have superior clarity, brilliance, and durability under stage lighting, which is why they are the standard for elite NPC and IFBB competition suits.

How long does it take to get a custom competition suit?

Custom times depend on the division. Crystal competition bikinis and Wellness suits typically take 4–6 weeks. Figure suits typically take 6–7 weeks. Women’s physique: 6–7 weeks. Fit Model typically takes 3 weeks. Men’s posing trunks typically take 2 weeks. Rush service is available on every custom path. In-stock suits ship the same day or next business day. If you have a show date, contact us and we will confirm the fastest available option.

How do I know what size to order?

We provide a detailed competition suit sizing guide on our website. For custom suits, we build to your exact measurements — bust, waist, hips, and torso length. For in-stock suits, our sizing guide shows how each style fits and which measurements correspond to each size. When in doubt, contact us directly and we will help you select the right fit.

Can I customize the fabric, color, and crystal design?

Yes. Custom suits are fully customizable. You choose the fabric (hologram, velvet, Lycra, sequin, or printed), the color, the cut (bikini, wellness, figure, or physique), and the crystal design. We have hundreds of fabric options and can create virtually any crystal pattern. You can also choose from our pre-designed competition bikinis if you want a ready-made look with crystals included.

Are your suits NPC and IFBB approved?

Suits are built to NPC and IFBB division guidelines. The NPC, NPC Worldwide, and IFBB Professional League have not authorized or granted the license, authority, or exclusivity to any competition suit company or designer to be their official suit maker, or to advertise their suits as an official cut or approved cut. There has never been an official or approved “Pro Cut Bikini” for any division. That term was erroneously created by suit makers. Our suits have been worn by Ms. Olympia competitors, Arnold Classic champions, and thousands of NPC and IFBB athletes at every level of competition.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship worldwide. International shipping rates and delivery times vary by destination. All orders are shipped from our Clearwater, Florida studio. Contact us for international shipping quotes or expedited international delivery options.

What is your return and exchange policy?

Custom suits are made to your specific measurements and cannot be returned. Sale items cannot be returned. In-stock suits may be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery, provided the suit is unused and in original condition. If there is a manufacturing defect, we will repair or replace the suit at no charge. Contact us at lucy@sycompetitionsuits.com for any issues with your order.

How do I care for my competition suit?

Hand wash your competition suit in cold water with a gentle detergent. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with tanning products before the crystals have fully cured. Proper care will preserve the crystal adhesion and fabric quality for multiple competitions.
