TDF Costume Collection Rental Program

With more than 100,000 costumes to choose from, the TDF Costume Collection has the perfect outfits and accessories for your next project.

TDF Costume Collection Research and Education Center

We offer two curated spaces for designers, educators and students, the Kitty Leech Memorial Library and The Rolfe Company Meeting Room, that catalog and preserve invaluable costume design resources while encouraging an understanding of the field’s rich legacy.

TDF Irene Sharaff Awards

The TDF/Irene Sharaff Awards were founded in 1993 to pay tribute to the art of costume design. Since then, the annual award presentation has become an occasion for the costume design community to come together to honor its own.

In the Media

See what the press has to say about us. The TDF Costume Collection proudly supports not-for-profit theatrical performances and, occasionally, we even make headlines!
