Sizing FAQs
We recommend 10-12 weeks out. It's never too early to order your suit. It is great motivation to have your suit to look at all the way through prep! We make the suits with high quality four way stretch nylon spandex which allows for normal weight fluctuation of competitors. We also leave 2 inches of fabric behind the back connectors that allows the suit to be brought in or taken out easily by your local seamstress or anyone that can sew.
This depends on the size of your glutes and how revealing you want your suit to be. We recommend The Pro Cut for most Bikini and Wellness athletes. We recommend The Standard Cut for most Figure and Physique athletes.

All of our tops are sewn with a lining pocket and include the removable inserts. This lets you add as little or as much padding as you would like.
Angel EnhancersPush Up PaddingAdhesive PaddingWe offer a variety of middle connector sizes depending on your physique. We recommend our short middle connectors for the ultimate cleavage. If you have a wide ribcage, you may want a longer middle connector.

We use your current glute measurement along with your anticipated weight loss until your show date to make your bottoms fit perfect. The anticipated weight loss does not need to be an exact number, a rough estimate will be fine.
We only ask for your current measurements and anticipated weight loss. If you know what your stage measurement will be, put those measurements instead with anticipated weight loss of zero.
Our proprietary competition pattern does evolve as the industry evolves. One example of this is the sweetheart back. If you ordered a suit from ACBikinis in 2013, you know it had a perfectly straight back with no sweetheart. This has drastically changed and now every single suit we make has a sweetheart back. We follow the industry meticulously and make minor tweaks to our pattern based on our research, customer reviews, and what we think the judges are looking for in the specific year. If you need help deciding your perfect fit, please email customerservice@acbikinis.com
Yes, you can customize any part of your suit. We offer our standard front rise which is approximately 6.75 inches from the crotch to the top of the front. The modest front rise is approximately 1" higher and wider than the standard front rise. The petite front rise is approximately 1/2" lower than the standard front rise.
We reccomend our Standard Cups for implants because it uses 4 way stretch material.
Our Molded Cups work best for achieving the most cleavage, however the Standard Cups with Angel Enhancers also does an incredible job.
Or course! We start from scratch on every competition suit and can use whatever dimensions or measurements you give us. Custom pieces are subject to additional charges and may not be eligible for our easy returns process.
Showing your c section scar is a personal choice. Know that your scar is beautiful and is more than okay to show on stage. However, if you would feel more confident covering it, we recommend our modest front rise.
We leave alteration tabs on both the front and back of your suit to make for easy alterations. You will only need to alter your suit if your anticipated weight loss if off by more than 10 pounds. If you prefer to send the suit back to us, we are more than happy to do the alteration for you. Email customerservice@acbikinis.com.

Return PolicyAll of our tops are sewn with a lining pocket and include the removable inserts. This lets you add as little or as much padding as you would like.
Angel EnhancersPush Up PaddingAdhesive PaddingWhen you first receive your suit it should be too small unless you are at your stage weight. The bottoms should be pretty snug depending on where you hold most of your weight. As you get closer to your show, it should start fitting better. If needed, there are alteration tabs in the back of the bottoms for a super easy fix by anyone who has any sewing experience. If your suit does not fit, we will work with you to come up with the best solution for your show day. It is your responsibility to order the correct back cut so please make sure you are ordering the correct one for your league. Please see our Terms and Conditions page here to view our available options if you are not happy with the fit of your suit. If you are unsure if your suit is fitting correctly please take a front and back shot of you wearing the suit and send it to your suit specialist. If you do not have a suit specialist please contact customerservice@acbikinis.com.

We realize every customer is different and we do our very best to address every athlete’s needs to the best of our ability. We recently changed our payment plans from managing it ourselves to our new plan that is managed by a trusted 3rd party, Sezzle. This change will allow your suit to be shipped the following business day for Ships Tomorrow Suits or the turn around time you chose at checkout for Build Your Suits and Designer Suits; regardless if you have made all of your payments to Sezzle or not.
How it Works:
