Should I wash the costumes?

Please do not wash our costumes. A lot of them require specialist cleaning and washing them could damage or destroy the costume.

A lot of our costumes are made from delicate fabrics, with detailing, embellishment or trims that aren't designed to go through a washing machine or tumble dryer.

Washing them at home – even on a gentle cycle – can cause shrinking, colour loss, or damage that can't be undone.

All costumes are professionally cleaned when they come back to us, using our very specialist cleaning facility – so they're fresh and ready for the next hire.

If you ever have a question about how to look after a costume during your booking, just get in touch and we'll be happy to advise.

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.
