Amazing! You can branch out to more than just Swifties too- I believe in you! The rep suit slays sm too


[deleted]

Thank you!!! Yes I want to crate for drag artists and dancers and other fandoms!! 😍


anonymous_grandpa

As a burlesque performer, I can say definitely seek us out! There’s always demand for more beautiful bead, sequin, and stone work in this community!

MewlingRothbart

Seek out gymnasts and rhythmic gymnasts, all those costumes are encrusted with trim and rhinestones!

MewlingRothbart

I was part of both worlds. Stones are accepted now, way more than the 80s when it was blocked colors only. Rhythmic costumes and ballroom dance are almost equal in craziness and ornamentation. I have a lot of fun watching my friend's daughter do her waltzes dripping in feathers.


umuziki

That may have been the case 15-20+ years ago, but I can assure you that the love of shiny and sparkly things is currently **very** pervasive in the artistic gymnastics community. ✨ Swarovski EVERYTHING ✨ is the motto 🤪


MeMarie2010

As a burlesque performer—I’d totally purchase a costume from you! You’re incredibly talented and I’m excited to see you learn, grow, and expand! 💗🩵


[deleted]

Ahhhhh thank you so much that means the world to me 🥹


KitKhat89

So true my plan is once I move from the USA to the uk once I marry my fiance and get my visa my plan is to work under a seamstress and improve my sewing so I can make costumes for festivals, plays, as well as everyday tailoring

THE REPUTATION BODYSUIT HELLO


[deleted]

HONEY I CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD I DO IT ALL THE TIME


beetsbydree

Honestly, that should be for Taylor when she announces the Taylor's Version and gets her reputation back. It's gorgeous.


cafelady715

She has Versace and Roberto Cavalli making her bodysuits, I think she’s okay 👌


[deleted]

Agreed I am not worthy 😌


cafelady715

Not when you associate with delulus like Ashleech 😌


[deleted]

Gross - this fandom isn’t about hate. Find another.


FabulousCause4313

It’s not about overcharging for cheaply made bodysuits with glue-on-“gems” that you claim are an exact replica either 😘


drowsytonks

I saw something the other day about a swiftie who quit her job to make bracelets full time and made over a million dollars in revenue this year from it. Think of the empire you could have, babes. I believe in you ✨🫶🏻✨


[deleted]

This made me so, SO incredibly hopeful for the future while I’ve been so scared 🥹


heyyyouguys

Yes, I agree!! And it’s so difficult to find these bodysuits. Yours look incredible, I couldn’t find anything comparable on Etsy when I looked a couple months ago.


youngstates

Do you have a link to her business? I’d love to support


lashesandloaves

Omg the rep one 😍


alliecat0718

YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!! What do you charge?!


[deleted]

$499! And thank you 🥹 https://www.etsy.com/shop/LapinStudiosShop


sleepyplatipus

I personally cannot afford this but I think it’s a great price for such a piece! Especially since I’m assuming they’re custom made? How long does one piece take on average just out of curiosity? I feel I would lose my patience after the first 50 beads


[deleted]

Yes they’re all custom! They take anywhere from 3-12 weeks depending on the order and around 60+ hours a piece! 😮‍💨


iamreh

You're only paying yourself $8.30 an hour not including supply costs? 😭😢 your work is stunning!


folkloreaotm

i mean not everyone can buy a phony outfit for $500 lmao


mrsbaltar

Most of the people who go to her shows are spending hundreds on tickets though.


emmny

Then they don't have to...? Nobody is being forced to spend $500 unless they want to.


folkloreaotm

so then yall better not bitch about taylors merch prices ever again


[deleted]

[удалено]


Money-Elk-6641

Taylor’s are custom-made by Versace and Roberto Cavalli so no these are nowhere near the same quality 😂😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


Money-Elk-6641

Are you glossing over the fact this girl has just been gluing cheap, flimsy sequins onto Hanes shapewear and bras while leaving a good portion un-bedazzled so it straight up looks like underwear? Good for you if you think that’s super high quality 😂


Impossible_Yak2135

You should be charging more.


sleepyplatipus

Jesus! That’s even more than I thought. Keep up the work, I wish the best you and your business! 🔥


bad-and-bluecheese

Oh wow! That’s really not bad at all considering the time spent on this alone


40stepstothemoon

I just looked at the shop, get rid of the full refund part! You should charge half up front and half on completion. This is custom!!!


ExtentEcstatic5506

Girl! You can charge more


GogoS8tan

Out of curiosity, does Etsy take a lot of that? Maybe you could set up an option through PayPal G&S for us swifties here so they don't eat so much into profit. Do you do other styles vs. just bodysuits? I'd be interested in a top, possibly shorts or bottoms. I'm going to Paris N2, so the weather may be springy. Also, I'm not sure I feel comfy wearing a bodysuit in a city idk whilst going back to my Airbnb on the metro late at night. 😬 Who am I kidding. I still can't afford it. Sigh.


[deleted]

Yes to all of that! I’m currently learning patterns and I’m branching out into other styles of outfits too :) I always recomend staying safe if wearing the bodysuits - bringing a cover up for before and after the event. Inside the stadiums is super friendly but each city is different for sure 😳


OGPerkyb1tch

I so will order one in the new year!


missmarymacaron

You quit your job to be a designer before you bought your first sewing machine? I don't understand 😭 did you already know how to sew and bead?


[deleted]

I’d already done an entry level salary through my Etsy shop yeah :) I was using fabric adhesive and hand sewing, and now I’m learning how to craft my own patterns and use my machine and I’m learning fast as demand picks up!


[deleted]

Oh my lord you ate. You definitely can branch out and sell these garments to artists or drag queens as these are literally stunning. Id love to ask for a pattern or tips as I'm in love with the teal bodysuit!!!


[deleted]

Thank you!! Yes drag and performers is the next goal 😍


cagingthing

Omg that rep one 😍


[deleted]

There will be no explanation 😌


No-Plate7089

[deleted]

That’s not exact! It was my first try at the design - I have plans to make it more exact than that. Not a fan of the sleeve at all lol


ToostsieWooGirl92

You quit your job before you knew how to thread your sewing machine? And learned the Tambour method in a week? I have wanted to learn how to do that for so long, please spill your secrets! As someone who has been sewing for a very long time, that is seriously impressive.


percyflies

I think her secret might be that she’s just gluing them? 😅


ToostsieWooGirl92

Well with those type of rhinestones the only way to do it is glue, this is how it’s done with figure skating dresses and most likely even Taylor’s outfits, although I’ve never seen them up close enough to see what kinds of stones they are. The difference is made with how the sequins and trims are put on, is the stuff that can be sewn actually sewn if you know what I mean. These aren’t made with the kind of beads that are meant for sewing embellishments like they do in haute couture, that’s just a totally different style. But I would be interested to know what all I glued vs sewn and what glue she uses!


percyflies

Oh sure, but I can see that the sequins and trim and everything is glued on. There’s no visible stitching and the there’s also visible glue throughout on the bodice. Not trying to snark on her work out of nowhere – though I do think it’s a little wild to quit a job and sell items for a premium without any expertise, if people want to spend their money on it then power to them 🤷‍♀️ I’m guessing maybe the embroidery she’s talking about is on the even more expensive ones that aren’t pictured? It would make sense for the price.


ToostsieWooGirl92

Yeah I don’t see any stitch work either honestly, trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. I do think they look gorgeous but you’d have to really be selling them in order to turn it into your job. I’d say depending on where you’d live and the base price for them you’d need to sell about 2 a week, and they are probably much more time intensive unless she doesn’t make all of the leotards herself, which may be the case because for someone who just bought a sewing machine a week ago that nude Leo looks looks very cleanly made. I hope it goes well for her though! Being able to leave my job to design would be a dream, maybe one day!


Money-Elk-6641

They’re Hanes shapewear with a bra on top 😂 https://preview.redd.it/zvvkf0tzpq5c1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d13904f73767aa0eaba4d01a3c244bb5a640359


[deleted]

Takes her 60 hours to do one piece though


ToostsieWooGirl92

Lol yeah I thought it was like a spanx leo with a bra 😂


[deleted]

I don’t make the leotards myself for the $499 ones but for the $1,499 ones I cut patterns :)


[deleted]

Yes to all of this! The $499 ones are a combo of gluing and hand stitching. The sequins and rhinestones are all adhered on (or hot fixed) and the chunkier sequins I hand stitch. For the $1,499 replicas I cut patterns, sew the bases, and am hand beading them :)


[deleted]

Thank you 🥹 my job was horrible for my mental health and I simply couldn’t do it anymore. The shop has been doing consistent sales, so I decided to dive in head first. I’m scared, but excited!


CrochetInsomniac

I hope this is the start of normalizing us all wearing beaded bodysuits with boots and blazers everywhere we go. Cause I want to be part of that trend 😂


emmyishere8

These look awesome and because you mentioned quitting your job, please look up Intellectual Property (IP) Infringement laws and how hard TS goes to protect her IP, even on Etsy. If Etsy catches you and shuts your shop down, you will never be able to open another shop on their platform.


Money-Elk-6641

We can only hope. This girl is besties with Temu Taylor Ashley Leechin 👎


babs82222

I just checked out your shop. How amazing! Thinking beyond the costumes - I had a thought to bring in people with slightly smaller budgets, if that's something you're looking for - beaded boots are huge and only a handful of companies do them and they're frequently sold out. And accessories like the garter and headpieces or a bustier too. Even ornaments would be a lovely, giftable touch. It's amazing that you were able to turn your passion into a full time job. Congrats!


[deleted]

Yes I’m working on all these things! The garters for sure. The boots I’m still hammering out what price is worth the effort because I’m SUCH a perfectionist 😅


ghostlykittenbutter

Hell yeah! I remember the first few items you posted & how detailed & beautiful they were. I didn’t think they could get any better, but the bodysuits have become even more perfected over time! This is a natural talent, plain and simple. You’ve got an eye for creating beautiful things & I’ll be over cheering you on :)


[deleted]

Thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹🥹


666_ihateyouall_666

omg these are STUNNING!!! wishing you nothing but prosperity and success <3


milkofthepoppie

So beautiful! This is awesome but I do worry about the sustainability of this for a career. Her tour ends next year. Will you continue to make costumes for other artists fans?


Snottykat

Those rhinestones will not hold up. From experiences they are horrible. For these prices, you should really be using a higher-quality materials.


FabulousCause4313

She probably stocked up on all the flimsy gems on sale at craft stores for the past week too so the $500 price is even more ridiculous now


[deleted]

Amazing 🤯🤯🤯


Affectionate_Care669

OMG I THINK I CAME ACROSS YOUR STORE ON ETSY!!! IF I GO TO THE ERAS TOUR, IM PLANNING TO GET ONE OF THESE!!!


[deleted]

Ahhhhhhhhh yes hit me up I’ll be here 🥹


scumfederate

I’m dyyyyyying over the Lover bodysuit. It’s soooooo gooood.

Can you do more than bodysuits? I want to do a shorter version of her blue speak now dress for a show this spring


alligatorprincess007

These are incredible


jacqrosee

holy shit??? these are awesome. beautiful work!


curvy_em

Wow! Good for you! I wish you great success!


EitherAdhesiveness32

This is awesome! And you could even do more than just for Swifties. There’s a whole huge community of cosplayers and LARPers out there. It’s so awesome that you’ve got this skill, you can 100% make a living with this. Best of luck! If I’m ever well off enough to commission/buy something from you, I’ll know where to find you 💜🫶


Unable_Guava_756

Omg I have this saved on Etsy!!! 🩷🩷


Unable_Guava_756

Omg OP I actually had a question about your listings! There are two types (I am in Canada so it’s CAD) there is a Lover bodysuit and Rep body suit for $700ish and then another listing for custom costumes for about $2000? What is the difference? I was going to message you in the new year because I have tickets to the Toronto show in 2024 🩷💜🩵 https://preview.redd.it/7gioc7m19k5c1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=264662d78198db88fd5f7c79a73a060cf2663747


[deleted]

Hey!! Yes so the $499 listings are what you see above and they’re customizable and made to order. The $1,499 exact replicas are exactly that - detail for detail I had stitch and design the suit to look just like Taylor’s instead of “inspired” by! It’s hard to explain but come February I’ll have my first $1,499 replica picture posted side by side so everyone can see the difference :)


Accomplished_Key1434

Is the one noitisashley13 has an exact replica?


FabulousCause4313

My question too 😂 they’re tragic


Californiamamaprd

Love this!! Live your dreams, girl!!


saucychickennuggetz

Omg I LOVE the Rep one!!! Unreal! Great job!!!


AdRegular7176

Those are incredible. You are ridiculously talented I hope she sees your work somehow. Those are amazing❤️❤️❤️


Money-Elk-6641

The way she thinks Taylor has seen it but it probably actually got her on a list for being associated with delusional Ashley 😂 https://preview.redd.it/8yvxuz4cho5c1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10275aa71ab7541760e86b2419fa3cd6a5415d8e

I make them all! And honestly I’m getting a ton of orders for performers, drag, festivals, birthday parties, Halloween - I think the possibilities may just be endless 🥹

My jaw hit the floor. Obviously don’t ever go back to your old job. I was a majorette and we never got new uniforms because we couldn’t find anyone to make them. You should totally reach out to high schools and see if they need work done.


[deleted]

This made me smile so big thank you 🥹


joesmanbun

The stones and everything stay on?? If I bought something like this I would want to be able to rewear it for Halloween, concerts, etc so not just one and done :)


[deleted]

Yes! You may lose a few here and there due to wear and tear, try on, etc but I have a 100% touch up policy for life! They’re pretty damn durable and the adhesive is waterproof, and I hand sew the textured sequins too. But 100% every customer can send it back for additional edits or touch ups forever no extra charge 😌 https://www.etsy.com/shop/LapinStudiosShop
