Rental Information & Guidelines

We’re so excited to be part of your dancer’s performance.

Tidewater Dancewear is built on the belief that beautiful, high-quality costumes should be accessible, thoughtfully made, and shared responsibly.

Here’s everything you need to know to ensure a smooth and enjoyable rental experience.

​

Booking Your Costume

Costumes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We recommend booking early to secure your preferred piece for your performance dates.

Once your booking is confirmed, we will send you our rental Contract Agreement by email.  Once you have signed the contract and returned  it to us then your costume will be carefully prepared and scheduled for shipment or pickup. No Shipment will take place until all fees or invoices have been paid in full.

 

Sizing & Fit

Each costume is designed to fit a range of measurements, rather than one exact size.

You will be asked to provide your dancer’s current measurements so we can help confirm the best fit possible.

If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to guide you—our goal is to ensure your dancer feels confident and comfortable on stage.

 

Rental Period

Your rental period is arranged to allow time for:

• Fittings

• Rehearsals

• Performance

Your return date will be clearly outlined at the time of booking.

 

Care of the Costume

Every costume has been carefully constructed to be worn by multiple dancers.

We kindly ask that all pieces are:

• Handled with care

• Kept clean and dry

• Stored safely when not in use

 

Returns

Costumes must be returned by the agreed-upon date to ensure availability for the next dancer.

Clear return instructions will be included with your order.

 

Damage or Loss

Normal performance wear is expected.

If a costume is returned with significant damage, or not returned, additional charges may apply.
We always approach these situations fairly and with open communication.

 

Shipping

Shipping timelines will be provided at booking.

For international rentals, any duties or import fees are the responsibility of the customer.

 

Our Commitment

Every costume is created with intention—designed to be worn, loved, and shared.

This rental program exists to:

• Support dancers and families

• Reduce unnecessary cost

• Offer a more sustainable approach to dancewear

We’re here to help every step of the way.

If you have any questions before booking, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
