A Deep Dive Into Ordering Your Competition Suit with Margaret Bialkin
Hello, Fit Body Family! This week on the blog, we’re diving into one of the most exciting parts of competition prep—choosing your competition suit! With guidance from Margaret of Toxic Angel Bikinis, this episode was a masterclass in selecting, designing, and ensuring your suit is as stage-ready as you are. Whether you’re a first-time competitor or a seasoned pro, these tips will ensure you look and feel your best.
Key Takeaways from the Episode
1. Know Your Division
First and foremost, ensure you’ve identified the right division for your competition—bikini, figure, wellness, or women’s physique. Margaret shared how often competitors mistakenly order the wrong style, which can lead to additional costs and delays. If in doubt, consult your coach to confirm your category before placing your order.
2. Start Early
Margaret recommends starting the suit selection process at least 14 weeks before your show. While rush orders are available, planning ahead ensures you can practice posing in your suit to build confidence.
3. Choosing the Perfect Color
Your suit’s color is foundational to your overall presentation. Margaret emphasized the importance of selecting shades that enhance your skin tone and hair color. Avoid light pastels, which can wash out under stage lighting, and overly white stones, which may overshadow the suit’s base color.
4. Fit and Final Adjustments
Fit is everything! Toxic Angel Bikinis uses check-in photos, final measurements, and specific details like height and bra size to ensure a perfect fit.
