I went to Crazy for Costumes to rent an outfit, but before I could even step inside, I was accosted by a tiny gatekeeper of an elderly woman stationed like a bouncer at the door. She grilled me, my wife, and my daughter as if we were trying to enter a secret society. I told her I was just looking for some costume makeup, maybe some wigs and a bit of spirit gum, hoping for quality supplies. But when I said I wanted to browse, she shot back with all the warmth of a DMV clerk, "We only rent costumes." Her attitude was so off-putting that we turned around and left before the interrogation could continue. As we drove past the store afterward, we saw her turning away more would-be customers, apparently gatekeeping is her full-time gig. read more

Awesome mom n pop business. These two know their stuff! Decades of experience with an endless supply of quality products. I showed them a picture of the character I wanted to create and they put together the perfect costume! read more

I ordered a costume with them on October 23rd, paid for priority shipping and as of Halloween I still have not received it! I have tried emailing the warehouse, nobody responds. I also never received a confirmation email with a tracking number so I have had to manually check on their website the status and there have been no updates since the day I ordered my costume. I feel robbed and disappointed in this company because now I feel my Halloween is ruined! read more

This place is incredible. My fiance and I didn't want to buy costumes this year since we toss them out so we saw this place does rentals. It literally has almost everything even if you don't know what to be it gives so many ideas. We were helped by both Keith and Karen who are the owners and the sweetest people you'll meet. They were very helpful and fun to talk to. The prices are great especially for the quality! We got our costumes and will keep this place as our number one costume shop read more

Crazy About Costumes is a husband and wife cash only costume rental operation that can bring your costume fantasies into reality, making you over into the picture of anything or any fantasy you want to be. The place is crammed full of costumes and costume accessories of every describable sort and not of the cheap low end type. Instead, they are of real top notch quality made with real leather, solid fabrics, and the accessories, be they pirates cutlass or whatever are, if not actually real, so real in appearance you wouldn't know the difference anyway. The best part about it is not only the friendliness of the owners but also their knowledge. For example, you may have a vision of what a pirate should look like but they in fact know what a pirate does look like and will attire you in a proper costume accordingly. read more

If you want a great selection for Halloween or a costume party, this is the place to go. FYI, they don't allow you to come in and Peru's their inventory. You need to come in with some specific ideas of what you want. They will then take you around and show your options. Great choices, and great people to work with. read more

We were in Ft. Lauderdale for conference and they had a 20's theme event. The folks at Crazy, husband and wife, outfitted 7 of us on a moments notice. Great service and you will not regret going. read more

I'm glad others seem to think Crazy about Costumes is such a great place, but when we stopped in and wanted to browse for ideas the lady at the front desk was just unpleasant and had no suggestions. When we said that we wanted to browse she basically said that's not what we do. I was so disappointed. I'll spend our $300 somewhere else. Place seems to be geared to professionals who already know what they need. I would not recommend for a consumer looking for a costume for a small party. read more

I can't say enough about Costumes Etc. I met the owner, Keith and he was so personable and friendly, I actually felt bad that I did not rent a costume that day! I am going to a Roaring 20s party and wanted to get some ideas on what to wear. The location is filled from top to bottom with costumes and accessories but Keith and his soon to be wife Karen, know exactly where everything is. Again, they're extremely helpful without being overbearing. I got some ideas for my boyfriend and I but wanted to search a little more so I did not committ to anything but I did ask to see their boas. I do not want to have a cheap or thin looking boa with my costume. She showed me the regular feathers but pointed out they can stick you. She also showed me the ostrich feather boa and I knew that was the one! Ostrich feather boas are expensive to buy and I don't think I will need to use/wear it again unless I pursue a career in exotic dancing ;-) so I'll definitely be going back to rent my accessories! read more

As a costume designer for theatre in south Florida, I was having difficulty finding a quality costume rental place. Costume World has a bigger inventory but doesn't provide the quality and one on one attention that Keith and Karen give in this husband and wife owned shop. They really do care and their prices are unbeatable. One thing that really makes this place deserve five stars is that they will go out of their way to make sure you are a satisfied customer. I had an actor who did not fit into the costume I rented and they instantly allowed me to come in and exchange the full costume and with a smile. All they cared about was that I was happy. Overall, great customer service, great selection and unbeatable prices make this a first rate costume house. read more

As Miami's Annual POP Ball was drawing near, I needed a wig to go with my themed costume. This year POP 6 was all about the Power Of Patriotism - a very white powdered wig type of deal. I went shopping around for a wig and found a beautiful and absolutely scandalously fabulous Marie Antoinette wig at a small shop in Downtown Miami. The problem with said wig was the price tag - $80. I was a week away from my ballroom appearance and was a little nervous at the lack of finding a wig elsewhere, so I put my deposit down on the wig in Downtown Miami. A week later, on a trip to pick up a visitor and guest for POP 6 at FLL, I decided to poke around the downtown Ft. Lauderdale area. I stumbled across this wonderfully quaint costume shop called Costumes Etc. As soon as I walked in I felt the spirit of theater while gazing at the costumes racks full of costumes, props, wigs, masks, and so much more! Needless to say I was in heaven. I'm a Dancer who was raised in a theater world so you can imagine my jubilation. I found the perfect wig which Kenny, the proprietor, rented to me for 20 dollars! This wig was so much more scandalous and era specific than the Marie Antoinette one I had put a deposit on the week prior. He said he would rent it to me if I would call the other store and asked to get my deposit back. I was floored by the courtesy this merchant showed me. We got to talking and I pretty much decided that his job was a happy man's job, he heartedly agreed. My wig was a hit at the ball and I saved a couple of bucks, which is always a good thing. Next time you need a costume that makes a statement go visit Costumes Etc., you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been working with Keith for nearly 15 years now: everything from a personal costume for a party to an entire rental for a show. As a community and high school theatre director, I know the importance of a great costume shop - one that goes out of its way to make your show special and spectacular. Keith's shop is just that. He is always SO patient with me and my students, and totally goes out of his way to make sure I'm happy and the show is great. He is truly one of the greatest people in the industry to work with. Highly recommended. read more

Enormous selection, great quality, very knowledgeable and friendly people. What a treat to walk into this place after sifting through all the Party City-like junk in other stores and on line. This place is real. I use these guys for all my school theater productions and could not be happier. read more
