Question 1

I tried the COSTUME ORDERING page and it asks for a password, why?"

Accepted Answer

We ask that you contact us and we discuss any questions you have about your costume. Then we go over the timeline for suit delivery based on the current volume of orders. We are a very small company and can only produce a certain number of suits from September-Feburary   Once it is 100% confirmed that you will be ordering from us we provide you with the password to begin the ordering process. This way you do not go through the entire order process only to find out we cannot have your costume ready by your first competition.
