How Our Rentals Work

All of our rentals are in between $15.00 to $23.00 per costume. We do have a $100.00 order minimum on all rentals before shipping.

Q:How long do you keep the costumes?
A:You get them for one month! If you need them longer than that, each costume is $3.00 per additional week.

We do require payment in full as well as a rental agreement before we can ship off your order. We require a credit card as a security deposit on the rental agreement if you are paying with a business check, school purchase order or money order. Nothing is charged to your card unless your return is late, costumes are missing or are damaged. This is to protect our consignors. To view our online rental agreement click here http://www.thecostumecloset.com/rent.htm.

Q:What happens if I lose a costume?
A: You will be charged a replacement fee of three times the rental amount.

Q: Do I need to clean the costumes before I send them back?
A: Yes, we provide you cleaning instructions in your package. Hand wash or delicate cycle and hang dry. You also have the option to pay $0.99 per costume for us to clean them for you when you place your order.

We hope this helps you answer any questions you might have in regards to renting costumes. For further information, please refer to the link above or email us at rent@thecostumecloset.com.

Picking Out a Dance Costume...

Once you have your music picked out and routine choreographed, it's time to find a costume that works with the dance. Picking out that perfect dance costume for your team's performance might not be as easy as it seems. There are many aspects you must consider when searching for your costume. First, think about where the performance is and what you might need to really make the dancers stand out. For field performances: sequins, sparkles/glitter, and bright colors show up the best. Stage performances need a costume that won't be washed out by the lights. Stay clear of the pale tans/pinks and possibly whites depending on the lights you use.

Consider the size of your dancers. Make sure that what ever you pick will be flattering on all sizes. If a dancer is in between sizes, always go with the larger one. You're better off pinning or tacking it to fit rather than trying to squeeze into something that's a little too tight, it will look better too.

You also need to think about the style of dance being performed and what movements will be done. Turns are very effective with flowing skirts. If there is a lot of floor work, make sure your dancers won't get tangled up in their costume. Pick something that is more fitted to the body, and if you pick a dress, pick one that isn't floor length.

Remember to practice in your costumes to make sure you can do all the moves required and to make sure nothing pops open or comes off, that gives you a chance to safety pin or fasten whatever might need it to keep it from happening your actual performance.

Good luck!
