Costume Management

Every costume, from first pick to pickup day.

Plan costumes with your teachers, track every order and size, print labels, and hand out costumes without a single lost bag. One system for the most stressful part of recital season.

Costumes touch everyone: teachers pick them, the office orders them, parents send sizes, and somebody has to sort hundreds of boxes in March. ShowSculptor keeps every step in one place, so you always know what's been chosen, what's been ordered, what's arrived and who has picked up.

Costume planning

Teachers pick. You approve. Everyone sees it.

Each teacher chooses costumes for their routines in their own login. You see every pick, its price and what's still undecided, in one place. Costume planning is free.

One review, not twenty texts

See every teacher's picks on a single screen instead of a folder of catalog screenshots.

Budget check

Compare costume prices across routines before you set costume fees.

Avoid repeats

Catch two back-to-back numbers in the same color while there's still time to change.

Deadline tracking

See which teachers haven't picked yet as the order deadline gets closer.

Order and sizing tracking

Know what's ordered, in what size, and what's arrived.

Record each dancer's size for every costume, track orders by routine, and mark costumes as they arrive. When a box comes in short, you know exactly what's missing.

Collect sizes once

Gather every dancer's measurements and sizes in one place instead of paper forms.

Order by routine

Build each costume order from the dancers in the routine and their sizes.

Track arrivals

Mark what's arrived and see what's still out, by routine or by vendor.

Fix problems early

Spot the wrong size or the missing piece in March, not the week of the show.

Reuse costumes

Track costumes you already own so a returning piece doesn't get ordered twice.

Costume labels

Every bag labeled. Every costume back with its owner.

Print labels for every costume with the dancer's name, routine and size, ready for bags, boxes or hangers.

Sorting day

Volunteers bag each dancer's costumes and label them in one pass.

Dancers in several routines

One label per costume so nothing gets mixed up between numbers.

Dressing room returns

A stray costume found after the show goes straight back to the right family.

Look professional

Families get neatly labeled costume bags instead of handwritten sticky notes.

Costume pickup

Hand out hundreds of costumes without losing track of one.

When costumes are ready, track pickup dancer by dancer. Staff see what each family should receive and mark it picked up, so you always know who still has costumes waiting.

Costume pickup

Staff look up a family, hand over every costume for each of their dancers, and mark it done.

No missed pieces

A dancer in four routines leaves with four costumes, not three.

Follow up fast

See which families haven't picked up yet and send them a reminder.

Who took it home

If a costume goes missing, you know when it was picked up and by whom.
