How to Order Costumes

Check the Costume Room:

The office staff, studio owner, and sometimes teachers review in-stock costumes to determine what is available.

Identify gaps in styles, sizes, or themes needed for performances.

Order Online:

Start with Amazon or Halloween-themed websites for more affordable or small-scale needs.

If a specific costume is required, order from Canadian costume companies first.

If Canadian suppliers do not have the required costume, explore U.S. or international options.
