Welcome to The Lounge

Has your day gone a bit wonky and you need a place to put up your feet for a minute? Do you have a spot of hand sewing but don’t want to be in your room alone? Or do you simply want to be able to sit and visit with friends, old and new? Maybe you just feel a bit peckish? Come by the Lounge to unwind, rewind, and regenerate!

The Lounge is the place for you to sit back, relax, have a glass of lemonade or iced tea, spread out your sewing or the project from your last class.  Located down a quiet hallway on the ground floor behind the Grand Ballroom, the Lounge is just steps from the Costume Exhibit, our professional Photography Studio, and the Bargain Basement (Sunday ONLY).  

Aside from a place to gather, sew, and snack, what else is happening in the Lounge?

Very early (7:30am- 9:00am) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning, the Lounge is reserved as a Teacher’s Lounge, with coffee, tea, and pastries for Costume College Teachers!  Bring your teacher badges!

But wait, there’s more!

• On Friday Night, the Lounge will be open till 10pm after the Friday Night Social! 
• On Saturday we close the night out at 11:00pm!
• For those staying Sunday night, the Lounge will be open until 9:00pm as a place to relax after a fun-filled weekend.
