CLEVER COSTUMES

Costumes for any performance can be an expensive burden and put unnecessary pressure on the school and parents alike. Approach the issue of costuming your stars with resourcefulness at the top of the list!

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing better than seeing costumes reused in new productions and shared among schools. Because Eco-Zone so firmly believes in the benefits of reusing and sharing, we have developed an area on this website known as ‘The Wardrobe’. The Wardrobe is Australia’s first national registry for costumes, sets and props to hire, loan, borrow, sell. There is a wardrobe for each State and Territory. ‘The Wardrobe’ allows schools to advertise the costumes, sets and props they have in storage that other schools, dance groups, amateur theatre companies etc can borrow as well as to list requests for items they are seeking for their own production. If, however, you wish to create costumes from scratch, look at materials that you can source that are reused and reusable or recyclable.
