Schedule

The two weeks that carry the year

Halloween and Book Week are dozens of three day holds on the same dozen garments, and each one is a dated commitment on a specific costume rather than a name on a list you cannot trust.

Measurements taken with the booking

Chest, waist, inside leg, height and shoe size on the form rather than a sticky note, so the garment off the rail is the one that will do up and a returning customer is not measured twice.

Out three days, then a wash, then chased

The clean is booked against the garment so nothing is sold while it is at the dry cleaner, and every hire carries a return date that raises an email to the customer when it falls due.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for costume hire businesses
