Dear friends, some of you are interested in a costume rental for our evening balls.
We have made contact already with Prague movie studios which offer a large collection of historical costumes. Those of you who don’t have your costumes can rent costumes here.
First of all, you’ll be probably interested in the price. The price will be different for each of you and will depend on how rich the costume will be. You will need the 19. century costumes for Monday evening ball and then for Friday evening again. We’ll be able to return your costumes on the following Monday and that means, that you need to rent the costume for 8 days. In this case, the price is around $160 – $170 per costume. If you’re interested, you can rent a costume for the swing ball as well. There is an option for this when you will fill up the PDF form bellow.
The price includes dress rehearsal with the dressmaker, costume pick up and return, the cleaning service, and all taxes. To make it all easy and simple, we agree to pay the deposit instead of you (about $200 per costume), because the deposit can be refunded on Monday, when you’ll be home already.
If you are interested in costume rental, please look at the website to get some idea of what they offer. The website should show up in English. If you need to, you can switch the language in the top-right corner. Please note, that they show just a few pictures from a very large collection. So when you will come personally, you will pick a costume which you like.
And how to manage it? Here is the short script:
Save to your device (computer) the PDF FILE (right click, save as, or open and save)
Open the pdf file.
Write in all the needed information. You can use centimeters or inches, doesn’t matter. We finally need centimeters. If you want to recalculate it by yourself, you can use this calc. Please, be very careful about measuring. Correct measurements will speed up the whole process.
Save all changes to the document.
Send it to our e-mail address: dvorana@dvorana.cz
We will collect all the forms and will forward them to the costume rental.
Following your requests and measurements, they will search for costumes that may fit you.
For the costume rental, you will pay in Prague to us, to Dvorana, and we will pay for everybody by a bank transfer to the rental, including the deposit.
The most important part – the meeting with the dressmaker. On Monday morning you will need to visit the costume rental personally. You will try several costumes and will decide which one you like. If will be needed, the dressmaker will make some changes for you.
We will come by car in the afternoon and will pick up all the costumes. We will bring it to the dance hall. After the afternoon class, you can pick it up and take it to the hotel.
You will keep the costume during the entire dance week. We will pick them up on Saturday morning and will return them on Monday morning.
Please notice, that the costume doesn’t include shoes. Bring your dance shoes to feel comfortable.
The deadline for costume rental orders is June 18th, 2024.
