AlterYears for the Costumer offers historical, ethnic dance and specialty patterns, a vast collection of hard to find costume books, supplies and underpinnings. Our online catalog provides just a taste of what we have to offer, including our own popular AlterYears patterns .  We are just starting to put this site up, so check us frequently to see the new items you can get from us. If you need something that isn't up yet, give us a call and we'll see what we can find for you. Thank you for letting us serve your costuming needs!

A NOTE ABOUT RUSH ORDERS: If your need is urgent (you need the stuff in less than two weeks) call us or fax us at the numbers under "contact us" below to be sure your order gets priority handling. RUSH or EXPRESS orders placed through the website are not guaranteed special handling, though we do try.

If you choose RUSH or EXPRESS via phone or under the shipping options during checkout, there will be a surcharge of $10 added for RUSH orders or $25 for EXPRESS orders. This surcharge does not appear on the order confirmation page but is added at the time of shipping.

 Here is our Calendar of Shows. Stop in and say "hello".

Shows marked with an * are not yet confirmed, but we plan to be there.

(By the way, we are always looking for folks to help us with teardown at the end of a show. If you can help us pack up, come by the booth at any of these and volunteer. You might get some goodies for helping!)
