Your costumes, our platform.
Like many dance teachers, you probably own costumes that you've bought for shows in the past.
You might have used them a few times, maybe even hired them out,
but now they are probably sat somewhere doing nothing.
Wouldn't it be better if your costumes earned you money?
With Costume Source they can!
Partner with Costume Source
We store, look after and hire out your costumes as if they were ours.
Each time we hire out one of your costumes, we pay you a percentage of the hire charge.
Your costumes remain your property. We simply look after them and 'work them' on your behalf.
There are no fees or costs for you - we simply pay you each time your costumes get hired out.

If your costumes sound suitable, we'll send you a shipping label so you can send them to us (at our expense).
We'll then go through everything. We'll hang on to the costumes we want and send anything else back to you.
We'll then add the costumes we've kept to our system and they'll become available for hire.
This whole process normally takes under a week, so you can start earning as quickly as possible.
Stock control, finding customers, taking care of payments, picking and packing, checking back in, cleaning, repairing, storage...
It might look easy from the outside, but it really isn't!
We already have the experience as well as the systems and staff in place to deal with all of that. We also have the customers and market share to make it a success.
We always aim to keep pricing fair, taking in to account a number of factors - not just the purchase price of the costume.
As a business, we never compete on price. We will not undervalue items to drive business or cut the price of your costumes to simply make a sale.
We are interested in any costumes that we already stock. If we don't already stock it, we are only interested if you have at least ten (but hopefully many more). Apart from that, there is no upper or lower limit to the number of costumes you can submit to us.
That said, we hire out thousands of costumes each and every month and we are getting busier month on month.
Partnering with us allows you to be part of that growth and ensures your costumes make more money than simply being in storage or even you hiring them out yourself.
We'll pay you for any bookings that include your costumes that have shipped that month.
There are no targets to hit before we make a payment and no ceiling on how much we will pay. We won't deduct 'service fees', 'transfer fees', or anything else like that.
Our algorithms ensure costumes go out equally so they have even wear. This also ensures there is no preferential treatment.
