Rhinestones are the perfect crystals to add that extra bling, but if you’re going to order costumes and uniforms, they can be expensive. Want to know how to keep those costs down and keep the sparkle and shine on your costume?
At D.A. Designs, we love new technology and continually stay up to date on ways to breathe excitement and life into everything we create.
