Two Ways to Shop with The Line Up

Two Ways to Shop for Your Dance Team with The Line Up 

 When it comes to choosing dance costumes for your team, you have two options: shop an existing style online or work with a designer to create a custom look. However you like to shop, we've got a path for you. 

How to choose the right dance costumes for your team

Before you pick a path, a few things are worth thinking through:

• Budget. Affects everything from fabric and construction to embellishment. If you're outfitting an entire team, choosing an online style may give you more predictable pricing, while custom design allows you to prioritize specific upgrades. 
• Timeframe.  This is particularly important for competition teams. Online styles ship in 3–5 weeks, while custom designs take 8–16 weeks, so work backward from your first competition or performance date. 
• Decision-makers. Keep your design team to one to three people so the process stays smooth, whichever path you choose.
• Competition rules. Check your state or league requirements before you fall in love with a design element that might not be allowed.

How to decide which way is best to shop for you and your team? 

Ultimately, the right choice comes down to your team's budget, timeline, and vision. If you already have a style in mind, shopping online offers a faster path to a personalized costume. If you want something completely unique, custom design gives your team more room to create.
