Save the Theatre Costume Shop

Scroll down for donation PERKS!

All Dressed Up Costumes celebrated 30 years on January 1, 2020 – and we’d love to see another 30! Over the decades, our shop has costumed thousands of theatrical and film productions for schools, amateur, and professional theatres across the world. Growing from the original 2000 square feet to 10,000 has made it possible for ADU to costume any event imaginable.

We love our customers and understand the budgetary restrictions of our industry. Proudly, we have not raised the cost of a rental since the recession in 2008 – even as expenses continue to rise. Our small but mighty staff of designers, seamstresses and prop masters have built magic from scratch for every time period and other worlds, dressing artists in musicals, comedies, dramas, and on screen.

As you all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has shuttered schools and theatres. We know this is the right decision for all and support the closures wholeheartedly.

However, our independent shop is feeling the loss greatly. The Spring season – which normally accounts for 50% of our total yearly revenue – has been canceled. Losing all contracts from March-May is enough to shutter our shop forever.  As the months have progressed, our entire summer theatre business also cancelled...and it is still questionable if live theatre will be open in the fall....especially the educational theatre programs which are the bread and butter of our business.

100% of your donation will go towards maintaining our storage location and keeping our landlord happy. Our lease makes displaying a half million pieces possible, and we’d be hard-pressed to find an affordable space elsewhere. Please help All Dressed Up reach the other side, so when the show can go on, we are here to costume it. 

Thank you for your time! If you're unable to donate, please consider helping us spread the word. Check out more below, including PERKS!
