THE RIGHT STITCH
Thank you for choosing The Right Stitch for your next jumpsuit and belt. My love for sewing and creating has turned into a full time business specializing in jumpsuits and belts for impersonators of the King.
I have been making custom-made costumes for Elvis Impersonators and Tribute Artists since 1991.My jumpsuits are easy care as they are made from a washable polyester gabardine and are FULLY LINED, FULLY STUDDED and the rhinestones are RIM SET. I perform all of the work myself, and each completed suit is a custom-made, professional quality costume that will dazzle your audience.
PAYMENT
I require 50% down on any costume ordered. This can be in the form of a PayPal payment, money order, or cashiers check. Please note that a 2 week wait will be required before work begins if you send a personal check. I do not accept any charge cards, although I DO ACCEPT PAYPAL (PayPal DOES accept charge card payments. PayPal payment should be made to FLASHYTRASH1@aol.com). Please note that Illinois residents and orders picked up at my shop must add 7.75% sales tax.
All material will be purchased with your deposit, at which time I will be unable to make refunds. Please be sure you are serious about your costume and can pay for it. Please inquire about the turnaround time for completion of your suit since it depends on current workload.

FITTING INFORMATION
Once I receive your measurements, I will construct a blank shell that will be sent to you for a fitting. At this time, make note of any alterations that are needed, if any, in order to make it fit better or more comfortable. Please use safety pins to take in the areas that are too big or to mark areas that are too tight. PLEASE TAKE CARE TO KEEP YOUR JUMPSUIT CLEAN AS IT WILL BECOME YOUR FINISHED JUMPSUIT. Please feel free to call me if you are unsure how to do it and maybe we can do it over the phone. You can have as many fittings as you like before the design is put on. PLEASE BE SURE OF THE FIT. ONCE YOU GIVE ME THE "GO AHEAD" THERE IS VERY LITTLE THAT CAN BE DONE AFTER THAT IN TERMS OF ALTERATIONS. Once we have established a good fit, your measurements go on file. When the suit is completed, the balance will be due before the suit is sent to you.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SUIT
Wash your jumpsuit in the bathtub with cold water and a mild detergent. Swish your suit for a few minutes on both sides. Stains may be rubbed with a cloth and a stain remover. DO NOT RUB DESIGN WITH CLOTH OR USE STAIN REMOVER. Drain tub and refill with fresh water to rinse thoroughly. Pat suit dry with towels and hang to drip dry.
BELTS
The matching belt to your suit is made with a top quality naugahyde for the actual
belt part and a combination of leather and naugahyde for the buckle. A top quality
chain is used secured in eyelet.
Belts are included in the price of all jumpsuits, however, you may order just the belt. All chain belts are $150, macramé belts are $85, and beaded macramé belts are $100.
The Aloha Eagle Belt with die cast metal buckles is $250.
The pictures on this web-page are suits that have been made over the years. If you do not see a suit that you are wanting, just send me a picture or call me. I have books on hand for suit styles. I can make most any suit that you would like. So start thinking about that suit you need to dazzle your audience at your next performance or contest.
