Picking the Right Fancy Dress Hire

A theme only works if the guests commit to it, and a proper hired costume is the easiest way to get there. Melbourne's two costume hire stores on Party Hero are both shops you visit: you try things on, sort out the fit and take the outfit home for the party.

Centrestage Costumes is a family-run shop in Brunswick, and many of its outfits come out of its own workroom, made by hand. A full costume is usually a flat $45 to $75 and stays with you for three days, and any alterations are done on the spot, free, while you wait.

Costume Factory in Nunawading works at a much bigger scale, with more than 15,000 costumes for adults and kids. Hire starts from $65 and runs for one to three days with dry cleaning included, and the staff help finish the look with wigs, accessories and makeup.

Before you head to the shop:

  • Confirm the theme with the host so the group's outfits fit together
  • Leave time for a fitting, especially when a whole group is dressing up
  • Check how many days the hire covers and when it is due back
  • Bring the kids along for sizing if they are dressing up too

For the rest of the look, see Party Decorations, or plan the night on the Hens Party page.
