Gala Dress and Formal Gowns

For charity galas, vampire courts held in hotel ballrooms, and any scene where the dress code is the plot.

What to look for: You must be able to sit, walk, and hold a glass for four hours. Pockets are rare; plan a clutch or a partner with pockets.

Potion Bottle Set

Small corked bottles for healers, alchemists, and anyone whose character sells miracles. Fill with colored water or leave empty as props.

SFX Makeup Basics Kit

Scar wax, fake blood, bruise wheels, and dirt: the difference between a costume and a character who has lived a life.

Character Wig

A wig is the fastest full-character change there is: color and silhouette before a word is spoken.

What to look for: Heat-resistant fiber survives styling and sweat better. A wig cap underneath is not optional at a weekend event.
