How Passionfruit Designs (a bikini designer) renewed my faith in mankind.

Asking someone to make a custom article of clothing can sometimes be a scary thing.  Taste, skill and communication are all such incredibly important parts of the process.  Bernadette Bedard of Passionfruit Designs has become my go to designer for all of my competition needs, and I can't stress enough how highly I recommend her.  When I first ordered a suit from her, I was so happy to have the opportunity to chat with her on the phone so that we could work out the final details of my bikini.  She made great suggestions about color, stoning, and the cut that would be the most flattering for my body.  Although she sent me pictures of the suit when it was complete, the pictures didn't compare to the brilliance of the crystals, and the amazing fit of the bikini when I wore it.
 
When I needed a theme wear outfit for Miss Bikini Universe in Miami, Bernadette was able to transform a hot pink latin dance dress that I had worn a few years back, into a gorgeous latin dancer costume with a different cut that was much more appropriate for a fitness stage.  Her ideas were both creative and flattering, and I was so thrilled at the finished product.
 
In contrast with the experience that I had with Passionfruit, I ordered another outfit for a competition in Vegas, only to have the designer send the outfit out so late that it never made it to the competition, and when it did arrive, it was nothing like the picture that the designer was working off of.  I was shocked that the person who I had paid to make it was extremely unapologetic, and wouldn't fix the outfit to make it presentable.  Guess who is once again saving the day, and is more than salvaging the poorly made outfit to make it gorgeous (and wearable) Bernadette of Passionfruit designs.  
 
When I hand washed my suit for the first time, I was so concerned that it might lose many of the crystals etc, but it didn't lose one.  It retained the vibrancy of the colors like new, and the fabric fit with the same lift and support it had the first day.  Having a competition suit that holds up over time is a great investment!
 
I had the pleasure of finally meeting Bernadette in person at the WBFF World Championships in Vegas, and it's clear to me why she does such an outstanding job as a designer.  Bernadette is a warm, kind, creative and extremely hardworking person. She made sure that every suit fit like a glove, and that all of the girls she dressed felt beautiful.  I was impressed with the artistry and detailed of each suit, and the way that each one was unique from all of the others.  I look forward to seeing my latest creation from Bernadette of Passionfruit Designs www.passionfruitdesigns.com and will be sure to post pictures of the suit on my blog.
