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.
