ABC Costume Hire (CLOSED)

The ABC has been making props and costumes for as long as they’ve been on our TVs and radios, so their costume hire section is pretty damn extensive. Located in Artarmon’s industrial sector, this for-hire-only shop is home to many of the outfits you may have seen on silverscreens over the past few decades. While the costumes are top notch, you’re paying a little bit more than most hiring places, and the limited staffing means they aren’t as accommodating as you may hope as you try on a Victorian-era style bustier (trust us).
