Custom Character Dance Costumes
ZipaSports manufactures custom character dance costumes in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Ordered by ballet schools and companies staging character repertoire, national dances and full-length productions.
The bodice carries a boned front panel and a lined back closing on a hook-and-eye tape so it stays fixed through partnering and lifts. Skirts are gathered from 150 GSM polyester with an underskirt and horsehair-braided hem where the choreography calls for volume. Aprons, bodice lacing, braid and ribbon trims are applied by hand and can be built as detachable pieces so one base costume covers more than one variation.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Character Dance Costumes — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom character dance costumes?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are character dance costumes made from?
Poly-cotton and satin bodice with 150 GSM gathered polyester skirt. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Can the bodice be let out for a different dancer next season?
We build in a hook-and-eye tape with multiple bar positions and can add seam allowance at the side seams on request. That gives roughly two sizes of adjustment without re-cutting the costume.
Will the skirt hold volume on stage?
Horsehair braid at the hem plus a gathered underskirt keeps the shape moving without needing a hoop. Extra underskirt layers can be added where the choreography needs more lift.
How are these stored between performances?
Hang the bodice and skirt separately on padded hangers rather than folding, and steam the skirt rather than pressing it. Detachable aprons and sashes should be rolled, not creased.
How much do custom character dance costumes cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
