All Style on Stage bikinis are custom made and as such can be created in any colour/fabric combination.
The biggest decision is generally whether to choose a velvet or a foil fabric. Velvets are a lovely rich base for intricate crystal work and designs and have a gloss under the lights rather than a sparkle or shine. A crushed velvet will catch the light more than a flat velvet due to the directional variations of the pile of the fabric.
The foil fabrics offer more sparkle and shine than a velvet. The difference between the foil varieties lies in the size of the 'foil' spot that creates that reflective quality. The Mystique Foils have a tiny pin head size spot that is positioned close together giving the fabric a more glossy, shiny look where the digital and shattered glass fabrics have a larger foil spot, some with a holographic quality and create a much sparklier visual effect.
The holographic and shattered glass foils arent recommended if a highly detailed or heavily crystaled suit is in consideration. I personally feel that the fabric can 'fight' with the Swarovski Crystals - though I am more than happy to create any design on any fabric.
If a very specific colour is neccessary it might be easier to find in the nylon lycra range. Even though these don't offer any sparkle or sheen, the bikini can be highlighted with crystals in the same or similar colour.
On that note, please be aware that even though fabrics are made in a multitude of colours and shades, we are governed by what is available, produced, imported or manufactured. Colours are seasonal and can be discontinued without any prior notice so please do not be too disappointed if your chosen fabric is no longer available. We can usually find a replacement that is similar in colour or effect.
We do get new fabrics in all the time and have an alternative supplier so if you are after something specific but can't see it here on the Fabrics page then please don't hesitate to email us - we may be able to source what you are wanting. There is no harm in asking.
We have many pairs of trunks in stock in all the most popular colours and fabrics but custom orders are very welcome in any colour, fabric, style and size combination.

The team at Style on Stage have been more than just busy, with bikini orders and posing sessions taking up every possible minute of the day – then, in our spare time we have been creating this wonderful new website (well, with a little help from Kristy, Mike and Claire that is). Now that the new site is up and running we will be adding more products to the shopping cart, including a brand new range of shoes, direct from the USA....
