“I used The Costume Store for the first time for Bingley Little Theatre’s production of The Crucible. Right from the start I found the atmosphere created by Eve as welcoming and collaborative. She had a good knowledge of the play, the characters and the period. The standard of costume provided was good and the pricing was fair. Will definitely be using them again.”

“I’ve worked with Eve on many youth theatre productions, including Frankenstein, His Dark Materials and most recently Fame; each show had its own particular costume needs and challenges, and Eve and The Costume Store have always come up trumps, with invaluable design advice and friendly efficient service.”

“I am a Costume Designer and hired period kids costumes from The Costume Store for a Channel 4 show being broadcast at the end of the year. Brendon was fantastic! I received the costumes in great condition and very fast. I highly recommend and will definitely hire again in the future.”

“What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not.”

“Costumes are the first thing in life that let other people know who we are. They indicate who the person is without saying anything.”

“Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth – it really does establish who they are.”

“Costume is a huge part of getting into character. Your body soaks in what you’re wearing, and you turn into someone else.”
