ContenderWear™, Hotmess Dance Apparel ™, LiturgyWear™, and NuptialWear™ are brands by Lona Smith. ContenderWear™ are unique, custom performance costumes, suitable for stage and competition dancers and performers. Usually, these are one-of-a-kind costumes, however we have been known to occasionally create group costumes. We use top-of-the-line, quality elements to create and adorn our costumes. Hotmess Dance Apparel™ was formed initially to create inexpensive recital solutions for low-budget performance needs, while still having unique styling. HMDA also makes custom active wear. Plain Brown Label™ are budget conscious competition costumes. Made for the individual without breaking the bank. LiturgyWear™ creates custom, praise dance garments in worshiping Him. NuptialWear™ takes weddings to a whole different level for the bride. NW is mostly alterations of existing formals, also amplifying their bling factor. We also make some formals, utilizing fabrics that we know and love (stretch), our gowns are more comfortable. We encourage you to use items that are comfortable for your special day. We assist in preparing them for the look that you want. Our creations are based upon individual measurements. As such, all sales are final. Our services, competition and recital costumes, active wear, liturgical/praise garments, are not limited to costumes, we also offer graphics, embroidery, embroidery stitch digitization, repairs, and enhancements. A little bit about costume orders... Once the order is placed, a design is developed. If the costume requirements are changed by the customer or choreographer, change and alteration fees may apply with each deviation, including but not limited to, trimming down and tacking. Repairs and alterations throughout ownership of the products are not included with our costume fees. There are several stages of "rush orders" and their subsequent charges. Thank you for checking us out. Please feel free to contact us at (951) 268-4452 or contact us through Facebook messaging. Our quest is to offer costumes "just for your body" with an edgy design, a better, comfortable, custom fit that looks more appealing than ready made, and at a competitive price.
