How to Choose Your NPC Bikini Suit
If you're booking your first NPC show, or you're a seasoned competitor who needs a suit fast, this guide is for you. We'll walk you through price, timing, fit and crystals, so you can pick the right suit for your show date and your budget.
Every suit we sell is designed by Lucy McCudden, the founder, owner and designer of Suits You Competition Suits, and custom-made in our Clearwater, Florida workshop. Our bikini and Fit Model suits start at $139 and go up to $1,295, and some ship the same or next business day. Here's how to choose.
Start with your show date
Count the weeks until you step on stage. That number narrows your choices fast.
- Under 2 weeks: pick an in-stock suit. In-stock suits ship the same or next business day.
- 2 weeks or more: a Stage-Ready suit is built to your measurements in 2 weeks.
- 4–6 weeks or more: you have time for a full custom crystal Bikini or Wellness suit.
- Fit Model: custom Fit Model suits take 3 weeks.
- Figure or physique: plan on 6–7 weeks.
Short on time? Rush is available. Send us your show date and we'll confirm what's possible before you order.

In stock: ready when you are
Our in-stock competition suits are finished and waiting. We adjust the waist to your measurements and ship the same or next business day. Our sale section has half-off bikinis, like our black multi crystal bikini at $295. Sale suits are one of a kind, so grab your size when you see it.
Stage-Ready: custom fit in 2 weeks
Want a suit made to your measurements without the wait? Our Stage-Ready suits take 2 weeks. You choose the fabric color, and we build it to fit you. Our Original Color Crystal suit is $663, cut high for both Bikini and Wellness, with the same construction as our full custom suits.
Full custom: your design, start to finish
A full custom suit is built around you. You pick the design, the fabric color and the crystal colors, and Lucy helps you put it together. Full custom crystal bikinis and Wellness suits take 4–6 weeks. Our heaviest full-crystal designs are $1,295. Most athletes order once their show is booked, so the suit fits their peak-week body.
Fit Model: pick the right cut
Fit Model is judged differently, and the bottom cut matters at check-in. We make four cuts:
- Classic and Moderate meet the 50% glute rule.
- Contour depends on your size.
- Cheeky may not pass check-in.
Our Fit Model size guide shows how to measure and compare cuts. Check your federation's current rules before you order. In-stock Fit Model bikinis start at $139, and custom Fit Model suits take 3 weeks.
Practice in a posing suit
Your stage suit should stay clean for show day. A posing suit gives you the same feel for daily practice, coach check-ins and progress photos. Our posing suit fit guide helps you pick a size.
Why pros trust Lucy
Lucy has made the competition suits for Maureen Blanquisco, two-time Ms. Bikini Olympia champion and our sponsored athlete, for at least four years. Maureen placed second at the 2026 Ms. Bikini Olympia in a green crystal suit Lucy designed with her. You can see Maureen's 2026 suit and order your own, custom-made to your measurements.
