Fabulous fancy dress fabrics for all your party costumes. From satin to silk, cotton to wool we have a bit of everything. Fancy dress parties increase from Halloween onward. There are lots of pantomime events, school concerts, and parties all requiring a clever unusual fancy dress outfit.

How much does it cost?

To hire an outfit for yourself can vary in price depending on which costume you want to hire. Starting prices are £20.00 per five day period for an adult costume and around £15.00 for a child’s costume.

Sewing your own fancy dress can be fun and you could keep the outfits for years to come. Children enjoy having “a say” in their outfit and if it fits nicely they feel comfortable in them.

The cost of sewing an outfit depends on a few things.

• Buy a pattern or find a free internet one, better still make it up as you go.
• Use old clothes for fabrics to invent your look or buy fabric.
• Make accessories or buy them.
