If you are asking about how theaters operated in a specific time of history, you need to specify that in your question.
Small theater companies, local groups or clubs might have the cast members look for appropriate items based on the instructions and descriptions of the director. Most professional companies will have a costume department with at least a variety of costumes that can be used by cast. When you think about it, plays that were written for or that are produced in a contemporary milieu would not have to be extremely concerned about costumes. Period pieces may require more attention to costume detail because they are set in a past or future time, or may deal with dress that is particular to a specific location. People in a costume department will usually be skilled enough to make many costumes, and they will also be on the look-out for period articles that are sold in various shops.
I know you are asking about theater, but for a fascinating look at a very big costume operation, which would not be completely different from a large professional theater company, check out any of the special features dealing with costumes from The Lord of the Rings DVD sets.
