It seems like they want to borrow my teacher's and the advanced student costumes.

I can sympathize if they're not sure about spending money at this point on an activity they're unsure they'll continue.
I actually do have a supply of matching costumes that I lend my students for performances - a set of matching L Rose Designs dresses with hip scarves. These items are all machine-washable. I bought these items because I want a more unified look for some of the performances I arrange for my students.
However, if the teacher is comfortable with them wearing "student attire" such as you described, and if the only objection to the "student attire" is coming from the students themselves, then I think it's time for those students to learn that you can't always have what you want.
