Costumes & accessories
Needing to clothe an entire cast for your own stage production? Hunting for a single outfit to wear at a murder mystery night?
The Progressive Players wardrobe department contains a vast stock of garments and accessories, suitable for most historical periods right up to the present day. We began making and hiring out our own costumes in the 1920s, and our collection has grown to include Shakespearean doublets, flapper dresses, military and police uniforms, crinolines, tuxedos, wedding dresses, lounge suits, evening gowns and much, much more. There are also bonnets and crowns, helmets and hats, shoes and boots, handbags and gloves.
