The biannual CAFTCAD Movie Wardrobe Sale & Costume Exhibit is happening this weekend and is “the” place to be to score high end, one-of-a-kind and vintage clothing being sold by vendors at discounted prices. Here, you can purchase pieces from vendors such as the Duplaga Fashion Corporation, hand-made silk ascots from Fiammetta, Mercy Label and Plastik Wrap.

CAFTCAD has added a costume exhibit to the sale this year where you’ll have the opportunity to see “over 14 costumes and accessories featured in high profile films and television series. This includes pieces created by Patrick Antosh for Toronto-based director Michael McGowan’s Score: A Hockey Musical.”

I visited CAFTCAD last year and had a great time. One piece of advice is make sure to bring cash as the vendors won’t all have an Interact machine at their booths and the cash machine onsite charges a ridiculous withdrawal fee.

You may recall I attended the CAFTCAD Movie Wardrobe Sale in October. I had a great time browsing all the vintage items and movie props – I also still regret not buying that mink bolero jacket. That aside, CAFTCAD only puts on this sale twice a year so it’s a good time to mark May 1 in your calendar and attend.

Shopping tip: bring cash with you because majority of the vendors don’t take debit or credit card.

Event details: the CAFTCAD Movies Wardrobe Sale is back again. We are delighted to have over 40 vendors including members and industry types who will be selling contemporary and vintage clothing, and accessories used in local film and television productions, fabric, handcrafted goods, dead stock, samples, wardrobe supplies and more!

Time: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Admission: $3 (entrance fee goes towards supporting CAFTCAD initiatives)
