Period Costuming
Enhance your off-site event or dinner party with costuming to match your surroundings. Imagine attending a party in the Asilo de Beneficencia or Casa de Espaòa dressed in period pieces reminiscent of earlier times.
The island's architectural heritage is Spanish, of course, as seen in the narrow, winding cobblestone streets and the pastel-colored, tile-roofed buildings with ornate balconies and heavy wooden doors that open onto inner courtyards in the style of Andalusia in southern Spain. In Old San Juan you will see an architectural melange of buildings that range from the style popular during the Spanish Conquest to the neoclassical style of the 19th century. San José Church is the only true Gothic building under the U.S. flag, where as the facade of San Juan Cathedral, added in the early 19th century, is baroque, but it shelters a vaulted tower and four rooms dating from 1540, which are rare examples of medieval architecture in the New World.
This rich heritage allows you to sample from many periods of fashion and costuming, span-ning over 500 years. There is a large selection of authentic costumes from all time periods for your off-site event, unique period wedding, parties or any occasion. These include Me-dieval, Renaissance, Elizabethan, Edwardian, Baroque, Colonial, Gatsby, Pirating cos-tumes, and more.
We have paired with an excellent wardrobe designer that has made costumes for the is-land’s theatrical productions and many of the United States and Europe’s most prestigious theatrical companies. We can offer you over 300 theatrical costumes, richly detailed and designed. Requires advance notice of 6-8 weeks and measurement sheets will be provided to your group in advance so that costumes are adjusted to fit. Average rental rate is $100-$150 per costume.
