9 to 5 is more than a musical about the workplace—it’s a celebration of Dolly Parton, whose music, humor, and unmistakable personality are woven through the show.

From the instantly recognizable opening song to the big ’80s hair, bold colors, playful prints, and larger-than-life style, 9 to 5 has a distinctly Dolly spirit.

And perhaps that’s what makes the costumes so much fun. They capture an era, three very different women, and the fabulous personality of the woman who started it all.

Here’s to Dolly—and working 9 to 5 with a little more sparkle. 💖🎶

🍂 Hello, Fall! 🍊

Today is the first day of fall, so naturally, we’re thinking about orange costumes! From rich pumpkin and burnt orange to warm rust and copper, orange has a way of making a costume feel instantly autumnal.

Whether it’s a period gown, a theatrical character, or something completely unexpected, there’s always a little room for orange onstage. 🧡

Happy first day of fall from Exquisite Costumes!

To Hoop or Not To Hoop! Costuming Period Shows With Ease!

The introduction of the steel cage crinoline in 1856–1857 revolutionized women’s dress. By replacing layers of heavy petticoats with lightweight steel hoops, it allowed skirts to expand dramatically while remaining relatively comfortable. Between 1858 and 1865, this bell-shaped silhouette became the defining line of American fashion across social classes.

For productions set in this period, the choice to include — or omit — a true cage crinoline or hoop petticoat has a profound visual impact. A full hoop establishes the unmistakable architectural presence of the era, immediately grounding the audience in the Civil War period. In contrast, layered crinolines or petticoats offer a softened interpretation, often used to balance historical reference with theatrical practicality.

Plaids weren't just for picnics! Large-scale plaid silks were a fashionable choice for women's day dresses throughout the mid-19th century. Combined with the iconic bell-shaped silhouette created by a hoop skirt, they offered a look that was both practical and elegant. Perfect for Civil War reenactments, living history, or productions set in the 1850s and 1860s, this timeless style is always stage-ready.

The Importance of Being Earnest may be Oscar Wilde's wittiest comedy, but its costumes are doing plenty of storytelling too.

From impeccably tailored Victorian morning suits to elegant afternoon gowns and extravagant hats, every outfit reflects the strict social rules of late Victorian England—where appearances, manners, and reputation meant everything.

It's a perfect reminder that in theatre, costumes don't just dress the characters—they reveal who they are... or who they're pretending to be. 🎭

The only thing missing from this photo? A grand staircase and a string quartet. 🎻💚
If Cinderella lived in the Victorian era, we'd like to think she'd wear this. With its soft pistachio brocade, delicate lace, and sweeping skirt, this ballgown is ready to waltz straight into the spotlight.
