MOTLEY WARDROBE / THE COLLECTION

Character begins
in the wardrobe.

A ruff, a diamond, a slightly unruly hem.

Explore costume concepts drawn from the language of theatre: Harlequin diamonds, Pierrot collars, playful patchwork and the long line of a ringmaster coat. Motley Wardrobe brings these characters together in a small, considered catalog for purchase and hire inquiries. Start with a silhouette that interests you, then ask about the details that matter to your performance. Every design shown here is a sample concept; measurements, condition, included pieces and arrangements need to be confirmed individually.

Six costume studies. A starting point for your next character.

Measurements & fit
Compare garment measurements with your own, allowing for movement.
Condition
Request current notes and close-ups of any wear or repairs.
Included pieces
Confirm each garment and accessory before making arrangements.

03 / FROM BROWSING TO ASKING

A costume inquiry, in three steps.

  1. Choose a costume.

    Find a character or silhouette in the collection and open its notes.

  2. Tell us what you need.

    Send your dates, sizing questions and purchase or hire preference.

  3. Confirm the details.

    Availability, current condition, pricing and arrangements need a separate confirmation.

Submitting an inquiry does not reserve an item or confirm an order.
