Making Choices

Design choices have become almost limitless thanks to improved fabric availability, digital printing technology, and state-of-the-art pattern making software.

It's important to consider the following:
  • Context: Keep in mind the type of choreography, field conditions, and the weather your uniforms are subjected to, as certain fabrics will hold up better than others.
  • Budget: Think about your per-uniform budget. Let your Sales Rep know your price range beforehand.
  • Timing: Keep an eye on deadlines – give yourself plenty of time for pattern making, sampling, and revisions! Custom designs can take 6-8 weeks, with an additional 4-5 weeks for printed fabrics.
Ask Yourself

What price range would you like to stay within?

What kind of performances does your group participate in?

Will your show encompass a variety of moods or themes throughout the production?

What words describe your style this season?

Fabric Swatches -- for assistance contact our sales team

Free Swatches

Fabric swatches are an important tool to ensure that your uniforms and flags look just right! While Band Shoppe strives to represent colors as accurately as possible, colors and textures look quite different in person. That's why we recommend requesting fabric swatches.

Choose from any of the fabrics listed on our website or catalog including color guard fabrics, marching band fabrics, and flags fabrics. If you have specific colors in mind, speak with our Sales Team and they will be happy to make suggestions.

Style Options

Did you know: You can substitute sleeve and pant styles on most of our custom uniforms! That means, if we show a unitard as a legging style, you can easily change it to a straight leg, jazz leg, or boy short. You can also shorten or lengthen skirts, and change necklines.

The options are nearly limitless! That's why we created a handy guide to designing your next color guard uniform. You can download this guide free, including drawing templates and digital color suggestions. Just click the link below!
