Costume Cave 2 sale
Right now, as we speak, the Costume Cave 2 is selling old theatre, TV and film clothes for you to prance around in.
Looking for that Hawaiian attire for a certain Friday party or maybe for that 1977 look then I'm sure they can help you out.
Here at Wellingonista Towers the boys are already accessorising and the girls are eagerly awaiting the catwalk parade later on. If you see any of us buying Xena frocks, over sized and outlandish hats or SciFi silver knee-high boots, give us a smile and ask us for a twirl!
Where: Costume Cave 2
Where: Level 1, 233 Willis Street
When: now until Sunday 18th, 10am - 2pm
More info at Scoop: Cave 2 Clothing Exodus:
... the garments have been collected from many sources including Avalon TV studios, the Palama Dark Knight series, South Pacific Pictures (Xena), Downstage Theatre wardrobe, Wellington Theatrical Wardrobe and Access Art. This unique and valuable resource is one of the largest of its kind in New Zealand.
Due to necessity, Costume Cave 2 is holding a once-only sale. It's a rare opportunity to purchase from an incredible selection of vintage clothing and shoes dating back to the 1960s, '70s and '80s and by doing so, buyers will be helping keep the most useful parts of the collection available to the industry.
the salvos in newtown has some absolute pearlers.
none of them fit my broad, manly shoulders (while they did fit my weaklings caved chest), so they're still there.
Nope. There's a nice green one in Ziggurat, but it's just slightly more expensive (cough). And there was a bright red & blue shirt in the same opshop, not quite Hawaiian but definitely tropical, that I'm pretty sure is genuine Versace. Also for $8.50!
I'd just like to say that I now have a deep gash (heh heh) from a stray pin from the process of preparing my outfit for tonight, so I think you boys can also take the time to suffer for the occasion by going to many op shops.
"Looking for that Hawaiian attire" ... then you're out of luck: no Hawaiian shirts on offer, I'm afraid. I did manage to score something resembling one for $8.50 at the Presbyterian Social Services opshop in Cuba St, though!
