items
are both for rent and sale. She has worked with many

work
has been reviewed by Opera News, the New York Times, as well as many
other newspapers from New England to Florida. Patty's

ever growing rental stock. For a list of operas for rental at

The rental fees apply to a full run including the rehearsal fitting production period, performance and return time. This fee is determined on a per use basis. Most operas have different rental prices based on number of costumes and value of that particular collection, as well as numbers of costumes needed for each production. Rentals do not include shoes or wigs. The rental agreement will include a security deposit, which is determined by the replacement value of the costumes rented. All shows require a certificate of insurance based on the replacement value of the costumes. This certificate is required enforced from the pickup date until the return date of the costumes. The name on the certificate must be Patricia A. Hibbert Costuming. All shipping is the responsibility of the company renting costumes from pickup to the return of the costumes. All returned costumes are to be packed 'dry'. Costumes are shipped in heavy duty double walled boxes measuring 20" X 20" X 27". The shipper used is the choice of the renting company. Most boxes will weigh approximately 50 pounds. |
