Betty and Sheila Robbins Theatrical and Fancy Dress Hire was established in 1972, and provided outfits for stage and screen, including many famous stars. The series of photographs document their closing down sale, some of the dresses that were being sold off and the loss of this hidden-away institution and its glamorous past.
