How does renting a costume work?

Browse the catalogue, add the pieces you need to your booking, choose your rental dates, and submit a request. We confirm availability and the final amount on WhatsApp. You pay by cash or UPI at pickup, along with a refundable security deposit.

No. Payment is cash or UPI at pickup — there is no online card payment. A booking on the site is a request; it's confirmed once we reply on WhatsApp.

How does the security deposit work?

A refundable security deposit is collected at pickup (the amount is shown on each item). It's returned within 3–7 days after the item is returned and inspected. Deductions apply only for damage beyond normal wear, missing pieces, or non-return.

Where do I collect and return items?

Pickup and return are by appointment across PCMC — Pimpri, Chinchwad, Akurdi, Nigdi, Wakad, Hinjewadi, Ravet and nearby areas. We'll share the exact point when we confirm your booking.

Can I get a costume in a specific size or for a custom fitting?

Many costumes come in multiple sizes, and several can be adjusted or custom-fitted with a few days' notice. Tell us the dancer's measurements in your booking notes and we'll advise.
