  • 1.  Props and Costume Accessories

    Posted 08-30-2017 10:48
    I design and build my own costumes, but I have been using theatrehouse.com for many years to supply our shows' props and costume accessories.  Their website no longer works and they're not answering the phone, so I'm guessing they are no long in business.  Can anyone recommend another source for me?  I know about thecostumer.com, but I'm hoping for some additional reputable options.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Yep...unfortunately TheatreHouse closed (in June I believe).  As for other sources, I use a variety of online places...you do ahve to be careful that you pay attention to what you are getting (and if the price is really low=low quality)
    Caufields.com - Costumes, Theatrical, Party Supplies, Hats, Wigs, Makeup & more
    BuyCostumes.com: Halloween Costumes for Adults & Kids
    Wigs, Hairpieces, Hair Extensions, Falls and Accessories | Wilshire Wigs
    Fabric.com: Online Shopping for Home Decor, Apparel, Quilting & Designer Fabric

    In my district you often have to have 3 quotes for purchases so I often search long and hard for the best prices. Most of the online places do not take purchase orders/ accounts which leads to getting reimbursed often. You have to do some searching to find those that will take purchase orders.

    I've used Norcotco in the past. They're easy to work with and sometimes have great deals!

    You have Josette's in Biloxi MS, that is a great source of fabric, trims, etc.  If you need a source to find a good costume shops in your area, go to the "National Costumers Association" website and find a shop by state. A lot of them ship anywhere and work with schools and PO's.
