CAFTCAD is excited to announce the much anticipated Spring Movie Wardrobe Sale for Saturday May 23rd,
(no, it's not the long weekend- we checked!)
As our last 2 successful events, there will be members of CAFTCAD, Costume Industry Businesses and Individuals, and Vintage Dealers selling clothing and items from past productions and other wares to the general public. Clothing, both contemporary and vintage, accessories, fabrics, books, and wardrobe supplies will be offered at this one day event.
