Welcome to the Shiny Spandex Source Listing! Evidently, people are enjoyingthis, as it's the most popular page at this site. (This file ends with "[EOF]" -- If you don't see it, you don't have the complete listing.)To be considered, a company has to sell directly to the public. To be listed,a company has to carry a significant portion of nylon-lycra wear.Unfortunate as it seems, the majority of the manufacturers and resellers havegone to cotton-lycra, supplex-lycra, and (ugh) 100% nylon. Original version based upon Marsha Jamie Lee's (anon2926@nyx.cs.du.edu) Dancewear Listing (v1.05.50 - September 7, 1994)Dedicated to my Anne-Marie: She doesn't like shiny nylon-lycra, but she wears it anyway. :) Regards, Greg loki@world.std.comMail-Order Retail Stores========================  Body Aware P O Box 1247 Sonoma, CA 95476 800-203-2181 707-935-6595 707-935-6597 (FAX)Various male wear -- Sort of like Frederick's of Hollywood, but for guys. Carabella 17662 Armstrong Ave. Irvine, CA 92614 800-227-2235 714-263-2320 (Customer Service)Various female smimwear. Dance France Mail Order 4075 E. Market Street York, PA 17404 800-421-1543When originally reviewed in early '95, they sent out a _nice_ full-colorcatalog. About six months later, I requested another catalog. Nothingcame, so I gave them another call: It seems that their catalog was sopopular, they've been out ever since. They sent me a (photocopied) retailprice listing, along with a "line-art" version of their wares. (Jeez,could you get a stick-figure to model these things? :)Anyway, their product numbers still match up with their original catalog,so they can't be too different. They seem to be carrying more and moreCotton and Supplex, but they still have a line of _Ribbed_ Nylon-Lycrawear (Something that you don't see too much of in any other catalog.)They have leotards (full-back and thong, in both tank and high-neck),tights (bike, capri, and ankle-length), a couple crop-tops, a thong-bottom("T-bottom" in their terminology), and a bike-unitard. They come in somepretty obscure colors, too. (What's "Paprika" look like?) Diving Duds (A division of Specialty Enterprises) P. O.

Theircire spandex (i.e. "wet-look") is really soft, but their regularspandex seems like it has too much nylon, not enough spandex.They cater more to the female, but they have a couple pages of male wearas well.Their sizing seems a little on the small side: Order a size larger to besafe. Regardless, they have an excellent return policy (one of the best,actually): No questions asked. Just For Kix/Dance Etc. P.O.
