The transaction structure predominantly follows a B2B model, wherein clients place bulk orders for costumes to outfit their students for performances and competitions. The company offers a range of products that cater to different performance needs, with specific pricing plans reflecting the quality and design of the costumes. Transactions typically involve clients selecting from a catalog of featured costumes, with additional options for accessories. Costume Gallery's longstanding commitment to craftsmanship and design since its inception in 1959 positions it favorably within the dance apparel market.

Costume Gallery plans to introduce new product lines, including innovative designs for upcoming dance seasons, and aims to launch these products by the end of the next fiscal year. The company is also targeting expansion into international markets, specifically Europe and Asia, with a goal to establish a presence by 2025. The acquisition by Henry & Wallace, LLC in April 2018 will support these growth initiatives by providing the necessary capital for product development and market entry strategies.
