renting or…
Examples: For Matching dresses for the
number “Paris Original” this dress can
be made by the same people that made
our costumes for “Christmas Carol” for
about $60.00 – it would come with a pill
box hat as well.
This dress can be made for the second dress
for about $40.00…I would use all 4 styles
but several different colors as shown to
create a cohesive feel.
