Biblical &

Christmas Pageant Costumes

We can costume your church or school Nativity Play

with a nice variety of Biblical costumes.

We can also do costumes for your Easter Passion Play.


Get your Wise Man costume or Shepherd costume here!
 We do Wise Men costumes for either adults or children,  with lots of color and sparkle. Order one of our headpieces that are made to match, one of our plastic crowns, or use your own crown.
Shepherd costumes can be plain or fancier, you choose! Get a tunic/robe for the basic look, or add extra pieces for variety.
Angel costumes and wings are also available, as well as Mary, Joseph, or the Innkeeper.

Whether you need one costume or the whole play, whether you're costuming adults or children, I'd be happy to discuss your Holiday Pageant needs. Call or email to talk about specifics. Please have a few *measurements* ready if you are ready to order, see below. Many of the costumes are made-to-order, but I will have a selection of costumes in stock.

This page updated 12-3-07.

    Wise Man or King
Starting at $35 for kids, $55 for adults
Click on the pictures to see larger versions. These are hand crafted, not churned out in a factory.  Every Wise Man costume is different.  I should have some Wise Men costumes in stock (check here to be sure), and always have nice fabrics on hand. You get a basic decorated tunic-style robe and cord belt for the starting price. Each additional piece (hat, drape, tabard or collar) is extra, usually about $10-$20. An open over-robe is also available, starting at $20  for kids, $25 for adults. If you want your Kings to be "extra rich",  I will make your Wise Men costumes from my very nicest fabrics and trims for an additional cost. (The adult Wise Men shown in the left-hand picture are extra-rich.)
 

           

          

 

Crowns   $5 each        

I now have 3 styles of crowns with jewels in stock. "A" is gold tone plastic. It has a foam ring inside for comfort. "B" is plastic, and is adjustable, no foam ring. Both will fit teens to adults, but probably not small children. I now have Crown B in either gold or silver!  "C" is metallic gold tone fabric, with a foam ring, and velcro closure. It will fit larger kids to adults, but probably not small

children, however, you may be able to add more velcro to make it slightly smaller. Click on the thumbnails for larger pictures.

 

NEW CROWN!  $5

I now have in stock a smaller crown that will fit children! This crown (D) is gold tone plastic with jewels, and adjusts. It can be 20", 20 1/2" or 21". I can send a small piece of foam if you need it smaller than that.

 

Turban  $15

This is a nice commercially-made turban. Gold lame fabric, fiberfil stuffing, gold plastic beads, a purple plastic jewel and purple feathers. Elastic makes it very versatile in terms of fit. The turban will fit teens to adults, but not small children. 

 

        

    

 

Shepherds or Joseph
Starting at $25 for kids, $35 for adults
Click on the pictures to see a larger version. These are some of the different styles I can do. I try to use a nice mix of solids and stripes for variety. You get a basic robe and cord belt for the starting price. Each additional piece (head scarf, drape, wide sash, or over robe) is extra. I generally make shepherds or Joseph close to floor-length, but they can be shorter as well. The pictures show a small shepherd with an over robe, a small Joseph with a tabard and head scarf, Joseph with a wide sash and head scarf, a shepherd with a flat shoulder drape, and a shepherd with a looped shoulder drape. Click on the thumbnail pictures for a larger view.
