Costume Source

Oct 1, 2025

We’re excited to share some big news — Costume Source is moving!

Our brand-new Sparkle Fulfilment Centre is more than just a bigger space (though it is much bigger)...

It’s a huge leap forward, designed using everything we’ve learned over the years — and built from the ground up to serve you even better.

Here's what it means for you:

✨ Faster order fulfilment

✨ Smarter systems with lots of exciting developments to keep you Show Ready

✨ The capacity for tens of thousands of more costumes to support more schools, more dancers, and more sparkle than ever before

We believe this will be the most advanced of its kind in Europe — and we’ve built it with one thing in mind: making your shows shine.

The builders are almost finished and we'll be sharing more updates about the move soon.

Thank you for being part of our journey so far. We can’t wait to welcome you into this exciting new chapter.

With sparkle,

The Costume Source Team ✨

Sizing tips

check_circle The most important measurement is the Girth.

check_circle If a dancer is between two sizes, always opt for the larger size.

check_circle Because we stock lots of different styles from lots of different manufacturers, we standardise our sizes to make it easier for you.

Girth
With them standing straight, measure from the top of one shoulder, down the fullest part of their chest, through their legs and back up to the same shoulder.

Bust
With their arms down at their sides, measure the fullest part of their chest.

Waist
Ask them to bend to one side and place the start of the measure at the natural indentation. Once they have straightened up, measure from this point around the waist.

Hips
With their feet together, measure around the fullest part of their hips and bum.

Inseam
With them barefooted, measure the inner leg from their crotch to the floor.
