Can I Hire Online?
No.
We have a busy bricks & mortar store with people in & out trying costumes on all the time. We’re working to leverage technology as much as we can, however imagine if you were in the change-room & someone had booked your chosen costume online before you’d had the chance to put your pants back on?! Not a good look…
In addition, a lot of what we offer at Fancy That! is one-on-one styling with mix & match, one-off accessories. It’s pretty tricky to automate.
If you see something you like online, you can reserve it with us over the phone by providing a $44 non-refundable holding deposit. We will just need to site your licence or photo I.D. when you come instore to collect – or have you forward a scanned copy of same to us via email, if you require costume delivery.
Standard Hire Period
Our standard hire period for weekend events is Wed to Mon, with return due on Monday whether you collect on Wed, Thurs, Fri or Sat.
Mid week, it’s 3 days eg Mon – Wed, Tue – Thur.
Additional days are available at $22 per day. Should you wish to retain the costume for more than 3 additional days, it becomes a double hire. See Conditions of Hire for details.
We do aim to be flexible re this in the traditionally quieter months of Jan & Feb each year, where many companies hold offsite conferences & returning within a shorter timeframe can be difficult.
Hire Outside Sydney?
Sorry, no. We don't post our Hire costumes.
Many of our costumes are large, heavy, handmade, vintage or one-of-a-kind, making them expensive to ship & simply too precious to risk in transit. And if we ever needed to chase up an overdue return... we're really not keen on boarding a plane.
If you're outside Sydney, we'd encourage you to support your local costume hire business. They're becoming harder to find & we'd love to see them stick around.
What Info Do You Need?
To hire a costume, you'll need to provide a current Australian driver's licence or photo ID showing your current address, along with a valid credit card. This helps us protect our much-loved hire collection.

A political commentary: Here's funny-guy Sacha Baron Cohen, with some thought-provoking dialogue from the mouth of The Dictator: "Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship:
- You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth.
- You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose.
- You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education.
- Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family.
- You could wiretap phones.
- You could torture foreign prisoners.
- You could have rigged elections.
- You could lie about why you go to war.
- You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group, and no one would complain.
- You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests."
Yes... imagine if America was a dictatorship ...
