GENERAL INFORMATION FOR COSTUME USERS

Read carefully before using costumes!

1. Wear and Care

a. The tips on age, accessories, shoes, hairstyles, etc. are just suggestions if your models want to really look their part. Do not feel bound to abide by them.

b. Hemlines may be altered - sew by hand in stitches that can be easily removed.

c. Be sure costumes are hung up or packed carefully, and the parts kept together after the program. The models should be responsible for this.

d. When you receive the costumes, some of them may need ironing. Be VERY CAREFUL about your iron temperature, and try not to get water on them. Avoid ironing velvets and lace.

e. You provide your own accessories - shoes, jewelry, etc. There are a few provided. Please return them along with the costumes.

f. No eating or serving in costume.

2. Sizes vary.

a. Ask another person to model the costume if you would need to make any alterations except for hemline.

b. There should be one person from your group, not in the program if possible, whose sole responsibility is organizing the models and getting them on the stage the day of the program AND seeing that they reassemble the pieces of their costumes after the program. The day of the program the coordinator can use an assistant to help in dressing the models.

c. Please wear a T-shirt type top and your own full slip under the costume. If this is not possible, wear something that will protect you from coming into direct contact with the costume. This is especially important with costumes that are dry cleaned only. This will also help us in keep-ing the cost of the costumes to you at the minimum. These suggestions are for your protection and also for the garment.

3. Local users.

a. Please return all costumes and accessories in the garment bag in which you received them.

b. When returning costumes you have received by UPS, please pack them care-fully, folding each garment and keep all parts of the costume together. DO NOT put in trash bags. It is too easy to overlook a small item.

Thank you for following these instructions.
