The Victorian Christmas costume closet will be open to the public on Monday, November 12th through December 14th. The closet is located inside the Thomasville Visitors Center (144 East Jackson Street) and is open Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
“There is so much that makes Victorian Christmas special,” says Dustin Infinger, City of Thomasville events coordinator. “But it’s seeing folks dressed up in full Victorian attire that really makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.”
The Victorian Christmas costume closet features costume pieces for men, women, and children of all ages and sizes. “Every year we add new pieces to our collection,” says Infinger. “We have several Victorian styles in various sizes, including hats, skirts, shirts, accessories, vests and more.” Costume pieces are available on a first-come-first-served-basis.
Costume rentals are $10/per person plus a $25 deposit; deposits are returned when costumes are returned with a dry cleaning receipt and tags. Costumes are due back to the closet by Monday, January 7, 2019.
Victorian Christmas will be held Thursday and Friday, December 13th and 14th from 6:00-9:00 p.m. both evenings.
