We make the costume stock available for rent to individuals, the local theatre community, schools, film companies, and other professional organizations.

All you need to do is search our online store, and place an order by submitting a deposit. From there we will confirm the order and arrange a pick up time that is best for you!

It starts much like online shopping - take a look at the stock online and add your items to the cart. Once you are happy with your selections you will be asked to make an account and pay a deposit on your order. We will confirm the order and start our process of gathering and packaging your items for pick up. We will confirm the scheduled a time for pick up. Once here, give us a call upon arrival and we will come meet you.

While we often have a wide selection of costumes for a particular show from our past season repertoire, we do not stock our costumes as full shows. This lets you select from a wider range of costumes to meet the needs of your specific production. Our costumes are usually one of a kind items, although we may very occasionally have multiples of certain costumes.

Costumes may be altered to fit, but must be returned to their original condition before they are cleaned and returned. Costumes that are returned with alterations will be charged an alteration damage assessment to cover the labor costs to return the costume to its original size and/or pre-rental condition. This includes hems that are left in place following your production. All alterations must be sewn. No costume may be sent into production with safety pinned alterations.

Tape, iron-on bonding web, glue or any other type of adhesive may NOT be used on costumes. Costumes may NOT be cut, dyed, painted, or permanently altered without written permission from Empire Threads. You may NOT “improve” our costumes without prior permission from Empire Threads. This includes adding trims or other embellishments, especially trims that incorporate sequins as that may render our costumes not cleanable. If our costumes are permanently altered without permission, you will be charged the replacement value of the costume.
