Costume Rental Pricing
We quote against your actual item rather than publishing a fixed price list, because duration, group size and which ornaments you need change the number substantially. These are the honest ranges.
What Changes the Price
Four things: the category, how long you keep it, whether ornaments are included, and group size. A Bharatanatyam costume for two days with full temple jewellery and the same costume alone for one day are very different numbers.
Group Rates
Per-costume rates fall as the group grows. A twenty-person school group pays meaningfully less per costume than a single dancer, which is why we ask for the headcount before quoting rather than after.
What's Included
Cleaning is included. Normal wear is expected and not charged. Ornaments are included where the listing says so and priced separately where it does not — we tell you which at booking, not afterwards.
Getting an Actual Quote
Call 080893 13060 with the item, the date, the number of costumes and whether you need jewellery. You will get a real number, not a range, usually in the same call.
