“I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I hired a full set of costumes for our crucible cast. They arrived swiftly, with each character’s full costume neatly hung and labeled. And lots of additional hats/ bonnets etc. Ruth was helpful and efficient in all correspondence. Saved me hours of searching charity shops and for a historical play like this, it was a godsend. Will definitely use again.”

“An amazing find for my student play. They do am dram and professional costume services as well as personal fancy dress I believe. Ruth (who runs it) has a huge range of quality costumes (good enough for theatre and film) and was super friendly and helpful at providing costumes for my budget. Slightly out of the way but easily accessible from the M1 and worth a trip for anyone looking for costumes in the Beds, Herts, Bucks region or even from London”
