As a professional costumer, I sometimes get asked “What do you do with your costumes after the show is over?”

My answer? Lots of things!

Costumes are also a great resource for creating new designs and new characters. As a costumer, I am always looking for new and interesting pieces to add to my collection. Keeping old costumes is one way to ensure that I will have plenty of material to work with when it comes time to make a new design.

In addition, costumes are not only useful in the theatre (whether they be on stage or in the costume shop). Costumes can be worn by anyone at any time. They are a wonderful way to express yourself and rediscover your inner child. Of course, some people think that dressing up is just for kids, but I disagree completely!

There are so many reasons why costumes are great! Here is my list of the top 5 reasons why costumes are a great investment:

The wonderful thing about costuming is that it can be used to complement or enhance just about any activity. From the novice to the professional, costuming is an integral part of modern life. Here are the top 5 reasons why costumes are a great investment:

Reason

1. Costumes are the perfect investment for any business because they help businesses expand their brand and reach a larger audience.

2. Costumes can be rented or purchased, which makes them a versatile investment for companies that may have limited funds to invest in an advertising campaign.

3. Customers love costumes! They make for great photo opportunities, and pictures of customers wearing costumes have the potential to go viral on social media. In addition, customers who wear costumes with your company’s logo on it will help spread awareness about your brand wherever they go!

4. Costumes are a great way to attract new employees because they show that your company has a fun side, which is appealing to potential hires looking at different job opportunities.

5. Costumes can also help you gain more exposure at networking events or conferences where there are hundreds of other people trying to get their name out there too!

Our best-selling costumes aren’t always the most expensive, but they do have one thing in common: they’re great investments. Here’s why a costume that costs a little more up front can end up saving you money and time in the long run:

1. A quality costume is durable and will last for years.

2. A quality costume is versatile and can be used for many different characters or occasions.

3. A quality costume is detailed, so it requires less make up and accessories to complete the look.

4. A quality costume fits better, which means it will look great even without a lot of “fixing” on stage or set.

5. A quality costume looks better, which means your show or production will look great as well!

Costumes can be a great investment.

1. For a short term project or event, purchasing a costume may be the best option. In fact, it can be more cost effective than buying fabric to make your own custom costume.

2. A professional costume, purchased from a reputable costume company, will usually look better and last longer, than one that you might make at home.

3. When you purchase a costume, you can feel secure knowing that it was designed by someone who understands anatomy and human movement.

If you are a business owner, and do not think that costumes are a good way to promote, then you need to read this! Costumes have been around for a long time, and it has been proven time and time again that they work. With the economy being so bad right now, it is important to get your name out there in as many avenues as possible.

1. Attention: You will absolutely get attention with a costume. People are programmed to notice people in costumes. It’s human nature. We know we aren’t supposed to stare, but we can’t help it!

2. Advertising: Let’s face it. Advertising is EXPENSIVE! You can spend thousands of dollars on just one ad these days. If you put on a costume, you will be advertising at no cost except for the purchase of the costume itself!

3. Branding: Branding is such an important aspect of any business and is also very expensive to do properly. If you put on a costume and walk around town, your business will surely be branded in people’s minds for years to come!

4. Recognition: Having your business recognized is very important in order for customers to feel comfortable doing business with you. There is nothing more personal than having your own

1. Investing in a costume allows you to be a different person for a night, a weekend, or however long you choose.

2. Costumes are great (and usually affordable) gifts to give friends and loved ones. There is something special about the element of surprise—you won’t know what you’re going to get until it’s time to open the box!

3. You can wear your costume on more than one occasion. Halloween isn’t the only holiday that calls for costumes, so why not plan ahead?

4. Costumes are fun to make as well as wear! For those who like to be creative and work with their hands, designing and creating a costume can be a very rewarding experience.

5. Costumes are great for parties and other events! There is no better way to break the ice than with an interesting costume.
