Welcome!

I started this blog in effort to not only document this journey training for a figure competition, but also to share the ups and downs of the ride as well as empower, encourage and inspire. I hope you enjoy my lunatic rantings and can find even a little bit of inspiration in what I am trying to accomplish. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Suit fabric and bling pattern

For some of you, this figure competition/show I am training for is a completely new thing to you. You may have known a little, a lot or absolutely nothing about them before stumbling upon my wild ride.

I've already given you the basics of what the competition is about so now that I have my suit fabric and "bling" pattern picked out I am ready to show you what a figure suit looks like. Or at least what MY figure suit will look like.

Here is a picture of the fabric I have chosen:
Blue, and any shade of it, is my favorite color. I knew I had to have something that was bright and would like awesome with my skin tone. As soon as she showed me this option I was sold. Check out the cool dot pattern on it. It's kind of snake skin like.

These suits are all custom made and likewise the crystals or "bling" as we affectionately refer is also custom hand applied. I scoured the internet looking at dozens and dozens of bling patterns and finally narrowed it down to two that I am considering.

I will be meeting with the girl that applies the crystals sometime this week so we can talk specifics on what I want to keep or change from the pattern I chose as well as the color of the crystals.

Here is a picture of the patterns I chose:






The first pattern is very simple and will allow the fabric detail to really show through. It will also be less expensive. The second patter is much more elaborate and will take twice the amount of time to finish. Also means twice the price.

Give me some input and let me know what you think. And remember, I can make adjustments and changes to both of us in any way I want. These are just a basis on which to create.

As you can see, the first one only uses clear stones. In the second I would use clear and a shade of blue, probably a lighter shade then the royal of the suit. Or I could leave that detail out completely and only do the clear.
