Take control of your costume collection — without the spreadsheet chaos.
At The Costume Vault, we’re not just here to help you sell your pre-loved costumes. We also want to help you organise, track, and manage the ones you’re keeping. That’s why we’re building an inventory management tool — designed specifically for dance studios, theatre groups, and creative businesses just like yours.
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming soon.
What Is It?
Our upcoming Inventory Management feature will allow you to:
-
Catalogue all your costumes — even if you’re not ready to sell them
-
Track size, style, quantity, condition, and where each item is stored
-
Add location tags (e.g. studio cupboard, school theatre, storage unit) to easily sort and find items
-
Record what you’ve spent on each item to understand the full value of your collection
-
Plan ahead for future shows or performances
-
Easily see what’s available to reuse, lend, or eventually list for sale
Whether your costumes are boxed in storage, hanging in the studio, or split across venues — this tool is for you.
Why Track Your Collection?
Knowing what you own is one thing — but understanding the value of it is a game-changer.
-
Add up what you’ve spent on individual pieces or entire sets
-
See the estimated total value of your collection
-
Use this info to make informed decisions about budgeting, storage, and reusing or reselling costumes
This tool doesn’t just organise — it empowers you to make the most of your costume investment.
Key Features We’re Working On
Searchable Dashboard
Quickly find what you need by size, colour, theme, or keyword.
Photo Uploads
Attach images to each item so you can visually browse your collection.
Location Tags
Assign a location to each costume — so you always know what’s where.
Cost & Value Tracker
Enter what you paid for each costume (or set) to see what your collection is worth at a glance.
Custom Fields & Notes
Add your own tags, labels, or internal codes to suit your workflow.
Easy Conversion to Listing
Already entered an item? One click will start the listing process when you’re ready to sell it.
Who’s It For?
-
Dance studios with rotating class sizes and growing wardrobes
-
Theatre companies with shared costumes and seasonal shows
-
Freelancers and costumers managing personal stock or rental collections
-
Sellers who want to track what they’ve sold — and what’s still in storage
No more spreadsheets. No more guessing. Just clear, creative control.
When Can I Use It?
We’re in the final stages of development and testing, and will begin rolling it out to Vault Owners in the coming months. You’ll get a full walkthrough and tutorial when it launches — plus support to help you get started.
Want early access? Keep an eye on your inbox or follow us on socials to be first in line when we open the beta.
Final Thought
Your costume collection is more than just storage — it’s time, creativity, and investment. With the right tools, you can take control of it, reduce waste, and make smart decisions about what to keep, reuse, or let go of.
We’re excited to help you make the most of every piece — and every square metre of space.
