BellaSous Brands is the largest and most respected manufacturer of high-quality petticoats, pettipants, tutus, crinolines, and slips in the United States. Our sister company, Malco Modes, was founded 80+ years ago in San Francisco, CA a
s a high-end women's ready-to-wear fashion brand. The company eventually expanded into a variety of additional markets including western/square dance and bridal. By the 1980's Malco Modes was the country's largest manufacturer of high-quality square dance apparel, and had moved to its current location in Dayton, Tennessee, USA. In 2013, Malco Modes was purchased by JSA Fashions, Inc (d/b/a BellaSous Brands), in a private sale. "BellaSous” roughly translates to "beautiful underneath," combining the Italian "bella" (translation: beautiful) - a nod to the owner's heritage - with the French "sous” (translation: underneath) - a nod to the French heritage from which many of our most popular garments derive their design inspiration. The BellaSous brands (including Malco Modes (vintage), BellaSous Professional Dance / Theatrical, BellaSous Costume, BellaSous Bridal, and Sam's Custom Apparel) aim to manufacture high-quality women's base garments for a variety of industries, with the goal of creating beauty through both meticulous garment construction and by enhancing the self-confidence of our customers by making them feel comfortable, luxurious, and ultimately beautiful. Since our founding, BellaSous has been privately American-owned and operated, and has excelled by adhering to the old-world tradition of providing superior quality, while adapting to changing times. Each BellaSous garment is hand-sewn with pride in our facility in Eastern Tennessee, and combines outstanding craftsmanship with meticulous detailing. Our products are crisp, clean and fresh, without the odor and discoloration often observed with cheap imports. All BellaSous products have been built with the quality and durability required by dancers and other professional stage and screen performers. Thank you for your business, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship with you!
