Frequently Asked Questions

I have never rented before. How does this work?After receiving confirmation that your order is available, the customer must submit a completed renter’s agreement or have completed it online when placing your order, provide us with a credit card on file as a security deposit until the costumes are returned, and full payment or a school purchase order. Once The Costume Closet has those items, we can pack and ship your order.
