Thame Players have been undertaking a major review of their costumes. Over the years, they have accumulated in the region of 2,000 costumes and items of clothing, stored in a nearby barn. When there was no more room, it was decided to sell to the public a number of items unlikely to be used in future productions.

This initiative is resulting in a stylish array of high-fashion clothing items which are either as new or in good condition. Included are designer labels such as Frank Usher, Gina Bacconi, Karen Millen and Laura Phillips; vintage wedding dresses, elegant cocktail dresses and evening wear, plus gents’ DJs, waistcoats and tailcoats. There are also 60s and 70s classics, such as Carnaby Street jackets and Laura Ashley dresses.

Thame Players are planning to sell many of these items to the public on eBay, with offers invited on prices from £5 up to around £450 per item. For more information about this unique opportunity to buy high fashion and vintage items in excellent condition, get in touch with Colleen Tudway at colleentudway@btinternet.com
