LSC Pattern: Leg Bands Sewing Pattern 
Costume Alterations: The Primary Fix
This item only applies to alterations of custom costumes by LSC. This remedy is ONLY available to original clients of Lona Smith Creates, and ony if time permits. It can pertain to the following brands:
- ContenderWear™
- Plain Brown Label™
- HotMess Dance Apparel™
- HotMess Dance Apparel™
- Bitsy Butik™
The Primary Fix: Leg Bands
- For basic briefs, leotard, biketard or unitard, it starts with the first option of adding leg-bands in lieu of leg elastic.
- For briefs or leotard, we recommend bands that add at least 1″ all the way around each opening or leg for more coverage & comfort.
- For a biketard or unitard, leg-bands are added to the bottom of the leg. The 1″ added length can be customized to accommodate the growth.
Other factors that increase cost beyond what is listed
- Ample material must be on hand or minimum purchase requirements by the fabric wholesaler may have to be met.
- You must remove any rhinestones that you have placed in the path of the leg opening within 1″ of the opening, where it will be attached to the leg bands. Failure to remove the rhinestones, will result in an additional per hour fee for their removal.
- The costume must be clean. If we have to clean it to work on it, there will be an additional charge.
- Cutouts
- Decorative or Top Stitching
- Tax, Customs, or Shipping, if applicable
The process:
The deconstruction of each leg elastic or hem
Supply fabric, notions & cutting of new bands
Affix, Overlock, Topstitch

Understanding Price Increases & Cost Factors
The average price range for custom costumes has been rising due to several key factors:
📈 Materials & Shipping Costs – The cost of fabrics and supplies continues to increase steadily.
🚚 Specialty Supplies – Customers requesting rare, hard-to-find materials may require sourcing from multiple suppliers, drastically increasing shipping costs (sometimes doubling or more).
✨ Enhanced Decorations – Demand for baubles, embellishments, and rhinestones has surged, adding anywhere from $150 to $700 depending on the brand and level of detail.
💡 Tip: Selecting from our extensive in-house supply of materials, trims, and rhinestones helps keep costs manageable while still ensuring a beautiful, stage-ready costume!
