Antoinette Costume Hire - Offering historic to character costumes of every decade for parties and theatres

Here at Costume Hire London, we aim to provide so much more than Fancy Dress. The company was started in the 1960's by Antoinette Gregory and is now run by Antoinette's 4th incarnation, a chap called Brian Parsonage-Kelly. Based in a lovely Grade II Listed building on the borders of Sydenham, Forest Hill and Dulwich, Antoinette's has been providing Costumes and Fancy Dress to South London and beyond, for 40 years.

Go into any typical Fancy Dress shop and you will probably find nothing we stock. Almost all our clothes are unique, vintage items and we are very proud to say they are all on hangers, not in bags!!! Secondly, we don't sell anything. Actually, well, we do sell wigs, masks, stage make-up and the odd accessories, as well as an occasional modern dress or two that come to us via fashion shows, but mostly we are a hire shop.  Thirdly, if "Fancy Dress" is fancy and dressy, and not cheap and tacky, then perhaps it would be best to describe us as a vintage costumiers with a fancy dress heart!

Established in 1976 COSTUME HIRE by Vintage Years was soon serving the people of Leicester and surrounding districts in their needs for fancy dress.

It was quickly realised by the founder Mike Berman that there was a much greater need for proper high quality professional costumes to a much wider variety of clientele. These included amateur dramatic and musical societies and a growing number of businesses who wanted costumes and properties for advertising, training, promotional and other purposes.

Now many years later COSTUME HIRE by Vintage Years have become probably the most comprehensive suppliers of costumes and accessories in the Midlands.
