CG uniforms for a budget?

Post by oreocookis » Tue Jun 09, 2009 1:57 pm

Hi there,
Im trying to find a place that does quality CG uniforms for budgets of $80 and under. I usually go with Wish Come True and they dont really have what Im looking for this year, are there other companies with similar quality and price?

Try www.theguardroom.com

It's a consignment site, but they have a BUNCH of uniforms on there that might fit what you are looking for.

Consider doing a half and half type thing (half company made, half custom made). We're ordering the main part of our uniform from a regular marching company but because we have some really great, talented moms, we're able to have the rest of the uniforms custom made. We always have to be VERY careful with how much we choose to spend for winterguard. This year for winter i think we're going to be able to do get it done for a great price.

OH!

Also, try looking in the dance section of A Wish Come True instead of just the guard section. They have different uniforms in that section.

Yea I have looked at all sections of Wish Come True, and almost had found enough of the blowout uniforms for $34.95, but they lacked 2 uniforms we needed and would not make those 2 even if we paid full price for them...which sucks, but I think I found better uniforms for $13.50!
