Fair Pricing for Rentals & Purchases
At Studio M, we believe every performance costume should be accessible, transparent, and fairly priced.
That’s why we use a dynamic pricing system based on usage and condition — ensuring you always know the value of each piece.
Renting & Purchasing
Many of our designs are available for both rental and purchase.
If a costume has been rented, its purchase price adjusts accordingly, ensuring fair pricing for everyone.
You may also choose to purchase a costume after renting — our team will advise on the current price at that time.
How It Works
Brand New Pieces
- Never worn
- Priced at full value
Lightly Used Pieces
- Previously rented
- Professionally cleaned, inspected, and competition-ready
- Priced lower to reflect prior use
Studio Archive Pieces
- Well-maintained, used pieces
- Reserved for rentals, showcases, or training
- Not for sale
Every costume is individually assessed so pricing reflects actual condition, not just age.
