What to expect. The practical bits, sorted.
Hire periods
A standard hire covers your performance week. Main cast costumes can go out on an extended hire so leads rehearse in them.
Packed and labelled
Leads arrive in hanging bags with the character’s name. Ensembles come in bags labelled by group and size.
Measurements and fitting
We send a measurement template for every student. Minor alterations are made by us up to two days before the show.
Back after the show
Return each costume in its bag within the hire period. Cleaning is part of your quote.
Questions. And answers.
How do I check costume availability for our dates?
Add the costumes you like to your quote list and send it with your performance dates. We confirm what is available and suggest alternatives if something is already booked. The earlier you ask, the better your chances.
What if I can’t find the costume I’m looking for?
Tell us anyway. We are a young business and the collection grows all the time. We can design and make costumes for your show, package them up and have them ready for you.
Is laundry and dry cleaning included?
Yes. Cleaning is part of your quote, so after the show you simply put each costume back in its bag and return it.
When is payment due?
A 50% deposit confirms your booking once you accept the quote. The balance, plus a refundable bond, is due when the costumes are delivered. The bond comes back once everything is returned and checked.
Can costumes be altered to fit?
Minor alterations such as elastic and hems are made by us, up to two days before your performance. Larger alterations can be arranged and are quoted separately.
How do the costumes arrive?
Main cast costumes come in hanging bags labelled with the character’s name. Ensemble costumes come in bags labelled by group and size, so handing them out is easy.
