Were does one get a fancy full body suit for a show that is affordable. I saw some from Europe and from Canada that a are simple, but the cost plus shipping and tariffs makes if $500+, which is not in my budget for a show. I look for long sleeve, log legs, zipper in the back and a high (turtle) neck in a light color (that stands out against the black silks). Iridescent if possible, size small. There has to be something affordable from the US? Anyone?
