I'm a male bodybuilder, so I won't be able to answer your exact question. However, I just did my first competition a couple months ago. So when I had to order my posing trunks, I had no idea that it would take 1 to 2 weeks for them to ship it to me!

Be safe and order ahead of time. The suits that they make for ladies probably would take longer to make than the little thong us guys wear.

I ordered my posing trunks from bodybuilding.com. I'm sure that they have female competitor suits there as well.

i wreckon wait til september, at least you'll have a better idea of how cut you are and how fast you're losing weight so you'll be able to estimate a closer to perfect sizae for you come competition time.

Go to the links section at fitnessteambc.com, there are a few sites there like 'suits you', 'dreamwear', crys corner and divaexchange.com is great for used stuff, even those can be costly if you get a thousand dollar suitfor half price or whatever being used.
I would order no later than a month out but ifyou are getting it done online, once you choose, ask them, they have their own preferences, waiting lists and busy times so you don't want something unforseen to get it the way. Plus if you need to refit etc......
suits you has some nice ones which you can see right there, get them your measurements and its done. They are lower cost and have done this for years, very experienced. Merry Christine does very very high end suits.....thousands of swavarski stones so thousands of bucks for the suits!!!
Let me know if I can help!
