Reviews of Vandella Costumes (Costumes)

In 2015 for my last three competitions I wore a suit made by Kiera Jones. In this suit I won TWO back to back Physique WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. I had never worn anything like it in my life!! The suit must have been four pounds, was brand new, hand made from scratch, crystal crusted and INCREDIBLE. She took my idea of an organic spider web and ran with it. I cried when it was finally in my hands, this was unbelievably professional. The confidence that I had wearing the suit was a game changer!! I could not have had the experience that I did without her! THIS is how you showcase your HARD WORK! Kira has over 20 years of experience and was one of the first to establish herself as a suit maker in the industry. Visit her page for sizing instructionals, gallery photos, suit care, competitive pricing suits for all male and female divisions AND all federations, and more. Thank you Kira for helping me see my true potential, and then show the world!!!!

Wow...I am blown away by Kira’s customer service. She sent me several fabric samples based on my skin tone, and we needed up picking the perfect color! I was doubly impressed by how quickly she got the suit to me so soon after receiving my measurements. Now I never want to take this thing off! I usually hate having to watch myself in the mirror (which is why posing is so difficult for me)...but I LOVE seeing how this sparkles when I move....it's truly a work of art! I have no doubt that my posing is going to improve tremendously after this! Can’t wait to debut this baby next month :)

Love working with you and will continue to recommend you to everyone. Thank you for the amazing swing suit you made me...never find that quality in a store..I'll be back for more!..

Kira, owner of Vandella Costumes, is a class act! I have trusted her with every single one of my competition suits since 2014 (6 shows now). Not only does she do a fantastic job with her work, but she truly helps bring out the best in your physique by suggesting the best colors, designs, and jewelry for show day. Thank you Vandella Costumes!!!

Kira does such amazing work and can create something so beautiful on a budget that looks like a million bucks! I've tried on suits from other designers before and none of them fit as well and feel as good as Vandella suits. If you send her a picture or idea of something you like, she can recreate it OR even better, give her creative liberty and she will make it something better than you could have even suggested. Every time I wear one of my suits from her I always get rave reviews and compliments. She stands behind her work too. One time I had a jewel or two fall off during travel and she replaced them no problem and no additional cost.

I started working with Kira last fall, planning a suit for March. She listened to me..to what I wanted. I fell in LOVE with her creation!!!! It was a masterpiece! We are working on suit #2! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Vandella Costumes for your competition suit and accessory needs!!!!

My experience with Kira Jones at Vandella Costumes was fabulous! I absolutely love her work. She designs her suits with with quality material and stones that last. I just had her make my 4th suit and it is breath taking! Thank you Kira!

Kira Jones the designer of Vandella costumes is one word AMAZING! She has been making my competition suits and numerous of my clients suits for well over 10 years. I've never had a suit that has not fit me perfectly, she will take my wild and crazy ideas and turn them into a masterpiece. My client's suits have always come in or extremely timely manner, they've always fit and always look amazing on stage. Not only as a competitor, but as a judge your suit is a representation of you and if you don't have a suit that specifically tailored to your measurements, specifically tailored to complement your skin tone, hair eyes, all that work that you just put into competing is being compromised. Don't make this mistake that many have getting a suit off of the rack or one with plastic stones. Kira has suits for everyone's budget and she puts the time and care into all suits, regardless if the suit $300 or a suit it's $2000. One FYI for many that don't know Kira is a huge animal advocate much of her profit goes to saving abused and abandoned animals. Her love & strength for rescuing animals propelled me to stop looking the other way & own an animal rescue. Rest asured that you're going to have an amazing suit to complement all your hard work and a portion of those funds will be going to saving innocent animals lives. That's the true Win!

Vandella Costumes is the best of the best! I have tried other suits and nothing compared to the quality and design of a Vandella suit. Each piece is like a work of art. Kira is very open to working with different budgets and makes sure you step on stage looking and feeling like a million bucks. I won my pro card wearing two of her suits and competed at Worlds wearing another. She can do anything from a plain posing suit to an off the charts show stopper. I would and do recommend her to anyone who needs a suit!

Vandella costumes has been making my suits since 2015, and I recently went Pro in a stunning figure suit she custom made. She knows her craft, helping each client choose what's best for thier specific needs. The suits are high quality and very durable. She can make something stunning to fit any price range.

I met Kira Jones of Vandella costumes last year when I needed a suit for my first figure competition at age 67. I knew she made suits for much younger more competitive competitors so I was a little nervous about meeting her. I made the almost two hour drive to her house to be fitted for my suit. She was very gracious and had a suit already made that I loved but needed some alterations. She did them as I waited and I went home with my first suit. Since then she has made 6 suits for me all lovely. I also have purchased 2 others that were already made and she altered them to fit me. She has also changed out some of the connectors for me at a very reasonable price. I also love her jewelry and everytime I visit I find something I love. I love visiting her place way out in the country, her creative little shop and seeing what materials she has for new suits. Her suits are the best, well made and she will work with you on design and price. But you must realize Quality comes at a price. If you are starting out get that one suit from her, have it fitted to your body and you can use it all season and longer. Some judges in fact like to see a competitor in the same suit at different shows because it helps them remember you. When I see a suit I like at a show it usually is one of her suits!

Kira was recommended to me for my first show in 2015. Being new to measurements and suit selection, she walked me through the process and made me a beautiful figure suit which I wore when I turned pro. I loved my suit so I worked with Kira again for this 2017 Spring season and she designed two gorgeous, custom suits for my first pro season. She worked within my budget, was very helpful and responsive and the quality of her work is truly unmatched! I will continue to work with Kira moving forward!

Kira has been making my suits since I started competing back in 2002! Now she makes suits for all of my clients and they have all been nothing but amazing!! I highly recommend Kira for any of your costume needs!!

I felt like a winner when I put on my suit. It was absolutely beautiful! Admittedly, I was nervous because I'd never purchased a suit online. But Kira handled me like a pro from start to finish. Not only will I order from her again, but I would highly recommend Vandella Costumes to other competitors!

I've been working with Kira since 2005 on all my competition suits. She's the only one I trust to send clients to as well. Her suits are always unique and beautiful. And the best part is that they are finished with hooks (not ties that are distracting). She's always on time and very professional. I wouldn't work with ir trust my clients to anyone else

Kira has designed most of my competition suits. She does great quality work. My suits have been very durable they wash up really well. Her suits are always lined. She puts great thought into designing the perfect suit for her clients. She knows her color schemes and whats fitting and right for each person she works with. She has never let me down her creations are always beautiful!! All of her suits are custom made to fit. I have always been pleased with her designs and work! Lyn Elm
