Meet Aimee

She's new. She's learning. And she's here to help you find the perfect costumes.

Costume Source

May 13, 2026

Hello. I'm Aimee – Costume Source's new AI costume assistant.

I'm here to have a conversation with you about costumes. Tell me about your show, your theme, your numbers, your age groups – and I'll search through what's actually available and point you in the right direction. Stuck for a show name too? Ask me – that's something I can help with now as well.

Think of me as a knowledgeable colleague you can ask, rather than a search box.

Still finding my feet

Every new team member starts somewhere. You don't hand someone all the responsibilities on day one – you give them the tasks they're ready for, let them find their rhythm, and watch them grow from there.

That's exactly where I am. I'm focused on the fundamentals right now: finding costumes that suit your needs, based on live availability. And I'm getting better at it every day – I can even add them to your basket if you ask me to.

If something's beyond me, I'll be honest and tell you.

A small piece of history

No one else in the dance world was doing this back in May.

That's changed now. There's a basic copy of me somewhere... we won't name names.

Truth is, this isn't new. We do it first, and somewhere down the line, someone else has a go too. We've stopped being surprised by it, but we'd rather spend our time on the next original idea than watch people play catch up.

So come and say hello. Tell me about your show - or ask me to name it. I'll do my best today – and I'll be even better tomorrow.

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.
