I'm sure keefybabe amongst others will be sad to hear that homburgs is shut.

(that's where the legendary sparkly pink dress worn when playing with caustic was hired from)

they're selling their stuff off at auction:

http://www.homburgs.co.uk/

there's some interesting stuff in the catalog. most of it in large volumes although some of the men's military stuff is single items. might be worth looking round tomorrow if the telly comes early enough. there's a lot of sewing stuff as well as they seemed to have their own costume makers.

You just have to wonder just what kind of "domestic" resulted in this line:

3 Bears - Mother / Daddy (no head) / Baby

:-)

Any idea how much these kind of lots (the "20 assorted Camelot dresses", etc) tend to go for?

:(

that's really sad news. There's still wesdy yorks playhouse costume hire but it won't be as good :(

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

[random-redhead.livejournal.com]

I wish I could be there!
I wish I could have worked there!
