I just spent a couple of hours trying on amazing clothing here with my GF. Most shops I have been to have disappointed me with the variety of masc leaning clothes, and don't like shopping for clothes in general. Frankly, this is the first time I have enjoyed myself trying on a bunch of different things. Plenty of interesting styles to try on with a great variety of sizes. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and they even make a lot of their own gear so customization is on the table. If you are in Vancouver I would highly recommend planning a trip here. read more

Another 5 star review for Deadly Couture! Saturday they had a Black Friday sale with all in stock items 25% off. I could not wait ! Lucky when we arrived the store wasn't too busy so we were able to look at the latex and try it on without having to wait. They have by far the biggest. & best selection in Vancouver- (actually prob the entire Pacific Northwest ) as I could not find much latex/rubber in Seattle and locals actually told me to shop here in Vancouver !! When it comes to rubber / latex clothing, They have Polymorphe, Honour, Skin Two as well as Bespoke Deadly Couture latex and a few other assorted brands. As usual the customer service was attentive and helpful. The owner Jenny is awesome. ! She always is friendly and fun to talk to. Considering that a large amount of latex sold there is her designs - she isn't pushy at all when it comes to her stuff. In fact she is very modest. ( her stuff is super cool and can be custom made for you -size, colour texture & trim ) Plus She laced up the corsets I was trying on. Which is defiantly helpful! I ended up buying one as well as a few other outfits and I am thrilled with my purchases! Besides the latex - Huge selection HUGE - stockings, gloves, hats, bright hair color, PvC clothing ( all kinds) wigs , shoes , boots, - accessories galore! Men's fetish wear - ( which normally is a real bitch to find ) Costumes, tutus, jewelry ,the list goes on. Need a specific theme ? Military, Cyber, Goth, Steampunk, School girl, Head Mistress, Fetish - Pretty sure they have what you desire. All and all this is one shop you simply cannot miss checking out - for all your alternative needs . Selection & service that really can't be beat ! read more

Deadly Couture - Latex ! - Lingerie Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

I really hate to say this, but I received nothing but unfriendly service here. As someone who used to be very alternative but now dresses more casually, it's really disturbing how much offhand elitism you encounter in this store(s). All the employees seem to think that unless you look like you just stepped out of a Killstar photoshoot, you're not even worth their time. Or a friendly attitude. I bought my friend here who was eager to try some Demonia boots and we ended up leaving with a terrible experience. Meaning that we got terrible service (ie. We were ignored despite the fact there was NO ONE ELSE in the store). The staff member (white, dyed blue hair) also had problems with us taking pictures of the shoes for Instagram. This was for a small school project, where we just featured cool shops around Gastown. We literally went to 30 stores and NOBODY had a problem with this except for them. She actually told us that we could only take pictures if we purchased something? I've never heard of anything like this before? (Maybe she was aware of her awful attitude and was afraid I'd say something about it? There's Yelp and Google Reviews for that!) If you weren't comfortable with us taking pictures for whatever reason, just say so. Is being super cold and rude a nessecary add-on? She even said that "you might disturb the customers", despite the fact that a) there were no other customers and b) how is taking pictures of shoes going to "disturb customers"? It was not a good first impression of the "goth" (I use this term loosely) scene for my friend and I'm honestly really embarrassed for DC. For people who follow a lifestyle that gets its unfair share of judgement, they sure are judgemental themselves! read more

Get your kink on for supplies you need for a special loved one or if you happen to be a Dom or sub. Jump out of that vanilla lifestyle and explore new sensations. Deadly Couture offers a range of sexy lingerie to the more open minded with latex paddles and floggers. Lolita and Goth type fashion items can be found here to tickle your senses too read more

This is Vancouver's leading store in fetish and rubber wear. They carry tons of different brands of men's and women's alternative clothing. They also carry accessories and shoes and some hair falls, so no matter your style, goth, punk, lolita, pinup, steampunk, they will probably have threads for you. Don't walk by too fast or you may miss the front door! If you can see Venus & Mars, just follow the stairs underneath and you will find yourself at Deadly Couture. The store itself is quite small, and on Saturday afternoons, can get a little cramped, but the goods are all packed in, and there is a ton of styles to chose from. The store is run by a lady named Jenny, who will go out of her way to make sure you have the right size in the outfit you have picked, and even go so far as to do alterations for you (on the spot sometimes) just so you can wear your new outfit out that evening! Now is that customer service or what?! She has a friendly staff of cute girls who are always smiling and giggling and look like they just stepped out of Harajuku. If you have any style, you will check out this store. read more

Deadly has been my go to spot for latex for years. The staff are super helpful and knowledgeable. I was in yesterday in search of some specific pieces that are a challenge to fit on my long frame. Monique and Amber went seriously above and beyond to help me with different suggestions and alternative styles. I left a very happy panda with several new outfits. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Tiny little store with the clothing well packed in. It is hard to look at items. However, they have a good selection of dresses that appealed to me. I found two dresses I liked enough to want to buy: one looked to be consignment and the only one of its kind in the store: it fit me well so I bought it. The other was a fantastic dress with rainbows, skulls, and girls on it. Unfortunately, they had every size but the one I needed. Pricing is actually quite good: the same dress cost $11 more online @ Blame Betty (who is also sold out of my size.) Staff is pretty hands off unless you ask for help: this may or may not be a service level you like. I also visited the downstairs 'latex' room where the staff exhibited the same hands-off service (though bordering on poor service) as I stood at the counter for a couple minutes trying to ask about sizing and I never got help. read more

Well, well, darling, aren't you looking sexy? This place had some exquisite latex, some fun accessories and so much hosiery! I felt that this place was definitely a treasure chest of goodness - and badness in the best way possible- and most folks should find a little something to lead them astray in the vast selection. I see some of the reviews mention some odd treatment, and while we didn't have bad service, I did feel that our clothing being more 'tourist' than 'torture' seemed to have an impact on the service we got. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to come in and I did enjoy being able to browse reasonably unfettered, but they seemed very shocked to know that yes, I know all about latex wear. Don't judge a book by it's comfortable shoes, I was covered in it when you were still watching Rugrats, lovergirl. read more

I love the clothes and sexy outfits, unfortunately I will never return to purchase something there again. I find the staff cliquey and rude. Which is surprising to walk in and be looked up and down, glared at when those who work there aren't really the average normal looking people in the first place. Reminded me of a bunch of insecure high school girls. I felt so awful inside by the way the staff looked at me, spoke to me. It was so off putting that I couldn't even continue shopping. I left. I will never go back there again on the basis of the staff being rude, snotty and judgmental. I guess you have to look their part to get the proper help service and.. treatment. Once again. I will never return there again. someone sent me a message saying " maybe it's you that's negative" I don't walk around being negative. Negative people exist in shops, especially if you don't suit their classic and normal "style" that shops there. I'm also an adult and don't want around starring and judging people. read more

Looked good on google, went to try and get something and the girl at the door asked what I wanted.. with a pedestrian nearby I dishearteningly said I was just trying to get 1 item for a partner and they said it was too late in the day... I wanted to get one item and was turned away at the door 20 minutes before closing basically?? Not sure I'll try this place again when I can just go to Little Sisters. Honestly feels shitty. read more

I love this store! It has something for everyone and reasonable prices. I got lingerie for my honeymoon here! It was under budget and completely unique. I definitely recommend them. read more

The owner is usually fantastic and super helpful, but today's experience with another staff member was so terrible I had to write a review. I've seen a few poor reviews due to certain staff and today I understand why. My story: I wanted to check my corset size as I was in the market for a new one. Every time I've gone in to this store I've felt comfortable and welcomed, but today there was a different staff member working. I was given a rude "hey" by this person when I walked in (almost as though I was bothering her) and then left on my own & completely ignored when I needed help. After selecting a corset on my own I had to wait in front of the change room until the staff member finally decided she would pay attention to me and let me try it on. Once in the change room I was in there for a while trying to put the corset on and tight lace it without help at the same time. In any other store, based on the amount of time I was in the change room I would have been asked if I needed help or a different size. However, I was left on my own to fumble and finally take the tangled corset off. Keep in mind, there was no one else in the store! Eventually I gave up and left the change room frustrated and feeling ignored. I wanted to look at other items, but felt completely unwelcome so I left. I'll be looking at other corset stores in the future. Disappointed to see one staff member ruin a customer's experience which has truly impacted both my ability to recommend this store and return. No thanks. read more

The world needs more THIS. Crazy Sexy clothing. Friendly beautiful sales ladies. Latex! My paycheque dies in this place. Quite an honourable death! read more

I stopped in here to buy myself some shoes a few weeks ago and ended up leaving with a fabulous hoodie and necklace instead! The store owner Jenni is incredibly friendly and welcoming to every single person who comes in, even if they leave empty-handed. There are endless amounts of skirts, dresses, tops, corsets, pants, shoes, accessories and jewelry... All ranging from simple to frilly to latex. I want it all! Sadly the shoes I was after are made by a line that Deadly Couture doesn't carry so I was out of luck. (T.U.K shoes, if anyone is curious) But I did spend quite awhile gazing at the awesome shoe selection and tried a few pairs on. The store used to be really small but it seems they've taken over the business that was next door. Even if you don't plan on purchasing anything, you should still stop in and check out this awesome store. There is so much to see! read more

Deadly Couture was probably my most favorite place Steve and I went to when we went clothes shopping in Vancouver! The place is divided up between men's and women's clothing so we did not go to the ladies section on our first visit here, we just stayed in the guys. The men's section was not small for whatever you may want to label this place. It is a cross between gothic and fetish gear for sure. The merchandise was unique and had brands that I was not too familiar with but had ones that I did know, like Shrine for instance. In one part of the men's section they had a considerable selection of rubber shirts which were really cool! I actually bought a pink, rubber rain jacket here. Sure, that coat may be good in the rain but my motive for getting it was more for costuming purposes. Deadly Couture also has an online store so if you live in the states you can shop online and they will ship it to you! Really a cool store and coming back in the future is not even a matter to call into question! read more

I was a little surprised by the one negative review, as I have had nothing but fantastic experiences and customer service when shopping here and have many friends (even non goth ones) that have nothing but nice things to say about this store, but some people are just hard to please I guess. I came here for the first time a few months ago and decided that I was going to buy my first latex piece. Deadly Couture offers a huge selection and I spent the first 20 minutes not really knowing where to start. Jenni was very patient with me while I tried on about a million different dresses and spent forever trying to decide which on to get. After wearing my dress out to Sin City that night, the zipper got stuck and I couldn't undo it all the way. I took it back to the store for Jenni to have a look at, and since it was stuck really good she sent it back to the manufacturer and exchanged it for a brand new one, no problem! I would most certainly come back here, as well as recommend it to friends. read more

Luv this cute fetish/rubber latex shop in gastown, great staff with great clothes!! Of couse the first thing I had my eyes on were the hand made corset's{ designed by a lovely lady who owns the shop?} and had to try on a amazing latex skirt to top it off. The staff were super helpful, they had me try on a feather shrug and little top hat that finished the outfit to maximum fetishness. My main goal here was to pick up a new wig for my Priss halloween costume and a top and fishnets to complete my Blade runner inspired theme. I will be returning to buy a few outfits for some Noir nights and Sin outings. If my wallet can afford the luxury of super sexy outfits that is! Since being there last I heard an update that they opened a store upstairs from the shop. They also have a online store if you'd like to check out the wares prior to visiting, I don't think you'll be disappointed :] Great selection of fetish wear, shoes, hair falls, punk,goth and cute T's read more

These guys take all my money all the time. I'm forever looking for sexy things to buy for various events, but their lifestyle/streetwear store upstairs is just as amazing. If you need something to wear to Sin City, Plur, or Noir, this is your best bet. Pro tip: they sell festival belts to hold all your goodies so you can boogie hands-free. They're also all really rad and helpful. Which helps when I blow half a paycheck. read more

For the cluster of little alternative/fetish clothing shops in this area Deadly Couture is my favourite. Jenny at Deadly Couture is an AMAZING person and will do what she can to make sure you get what you want when you come there. She even does alternations on items. A friend of my bought a top there with plastic boning in it and she wanted it switched for metal boning. Jenny did this for a very cheap cost that was basically just covering materials not labour. The store has just recently expanded and is now much larger. I love the new layout as it gives much more room to look through racks and not feel so crowded and claustrophobic like the place did before. Also, they are able to carry much more stock too. The huge row of corsets will make any girl drool with desire (or maybe it's just me...). They carry both men's and women's clothing but much more women's stuff then men's. You can find every item you need to complete an outfit here- right down to the stockings, cuffs, tops, coats, pants, skirts... this place has it all. read more

Just got back from a visit to Deadly Dichotomy - or Deadly Couture as some may know it - and as always, I had a delicious time. Deadly makes and sells goth and fetish wear, as well as selling many popular brands. Jenny, the owner, produces her own line of products which are reasonably priced and solidly constructed. The corsets are made with high quality spiral metal boning (corset enthusiasts will know at once what I'm talking about!) and she will take special orders although she is in high demand so be prepared for a bit of a wait on made-to-order goods. If you are a frequenter or Sin City, Sanctuary or any of the other goth/fetish events, you're already very familiar with this place. If you're not but have always wanted to play dress up, Deadly has plenty to offer in the way of clothing and expert advice. The friendly staff will soon have you strutting around the shop. Items include PVC and rubber, gothic lollita outfits, corsets, and all manner of accessories from shoes and boots, hot belt buckles, aviator inspired goggles, collars and cuffs, stockings and cyber locks. If you've always wanted to take a trip on the wild side, Jenny will outfit you in style for the ride. read more

I came in here looking specifically for a corset. I felt a little out of place in my work suit, but the girls were really friendly and helped me right away. The customer service was excellent. They figured out my size, narrowed down what I wanted it for, and got me kitted out really quickly. I got lots of tips on how to get it on so that it sat right. They have a really good fun hosiery section too, so I picked up a pair to keep things cheeky. ;) read more

I get so many compliments on the dresses I have bought here. From risque club wear to 50's frocks that I can rock at an office party this place has it all. It is also a good place to get lingerie that is actually nice - not overpriced and scratchy like so many places. I also have several corsets from here which have really stood the test of time - years later and they still look as good as ever. This is also my go to place for stockings, so many fun designs and reasonably priced. The sales staff are very helpful. read more

Went here on October 29th when my DIY costume fell through. Was actually on my way to Dressew but thought I might find more original stuff here and I was right! LOTS of stuff for Halloween plus about 100 dresses I just want to buy for the rest of the year. They have both an upstairs and a downstairs so make sure you check out both. Ended up buying a frilly lil skirt, some stockings, and a mask = $60 and bought some gloves and face paint ect at Dressew afterwards. read more

Shopping for fetish wear to check out Vancouver's sexy party scene? There's no place better to wander than Deadly Couture's downstairs fetish shop. Hitting a "Burner" event with the folks who can't stop raving about that thing in the desert at the end of each summer? Right next door to the fetish store they've got a shop dedicated to the Burner crowd, that would also be right up the alley of any old raver. Finally, for those looking for something classy for that odd night out, or for something on the gothic side, Deadly Couture has taken over the old location of Venus & Mars, and offers more items in velvet than you can likely imagine! Deadly Couture, three stores, providing the triple threat for Vancouver's alt-party crowd, and earning five stars from me. read more

After wearing the dress I bought for a while now and I can tell the fabric quality is lackluster. When I am walking the dress will bunch up into my crotch (which obviously isn't appealing). Not a good dress, I don't even wear it anymore. read more

I love this place , its very unique with a touch of elegance , if u have a lady , and loves the fetish wear or hello kitty stuff with a twist this is the go place to go .. that staff is fantastic !!! parking is a pain but its on a bus route , i highly recommend to visit . read more

I'm really surprised by Vanessa's review. Certainly this has never been my experience. Today I went in wearing a white cotton sundress and I've never gone in wearing anything even close to the pieces I've bought but have always been treated like a valuable client. I've had many different people serve me that haven't known me and it's always been the same, courteous, helpful service. I could spend a paycheque in no time here between the gorgeous rubber pieces, lovely lacey frilly dresses and blouses, pretty corsets and cinchers, sexy shoes, fishnets, accessories, etc. The store recently expanded and has more room for browsing the aisles. They have a decent selection of men's items too. Do you think many other dads are getting rubber booty shorts tomorrow for Father's Day? Highly unlikely! I can't wait to see my hubby shaking his cute tush on the dancefloor next weekend at Sin City! Ahh, life is good. Thanks Deadly Couture for upping the sexiness of Vancouver a notch or nine. read more

decent selection (very little steampunk though), good brands (i was kinda bummed that they don't carry heavy red) and the prices are reasonable. some very nice corsets. however! the vibe was super weird. sure, i had just gotten off work and was wearing normal business casual attire, but just because i don't fly my freak flag 24/7 does NOT mean that you should dismiss me as a gawker come to giggle at the 'hardcore kids'. the shop girl was nice enough i guess, but couldn't really be bothered with me. and the 'regulars' hanging out were rude, judgmental and dismissive. alienating a professional costumer/seamstress (looking to sell high end, hand made period and alternate history pieces) and probable customer was not cool. read more

Firstly, I'm not into the "scene" per se but I had a terrific experience here. Me and my female pal were just finishing brunch and started discussing shopping. She said she really liked this brand of clothing called Lolita because of the designs and the long sleeves. She IS quite conservative so I had to think about this one....hmmm Myself, I was dressed fairly conservative. As we entered, we were greeted by this delightful lady with short blond hair in a punkish style. What a sweetheart and so professional! My friend didn't buy anthing but I ended up with a leather jacket with studs and a these extra loops for.......hmmm guess it could be for something naughty?? or I guess it's just the style. Anyhow, I really liked it and the price was awesome!! Signed, Conservatively-Dressed Badass read more

Great place. Only real fetishwear store in Van. Prices aren't too bad, usually comparable with online for equal quality. The owner is great, always willing to help when I go. Great place to stop before going to Sin City or if you want something to wear to make you stand out while walking around Gastown! 39yo Crossdresser/fetishist. read more

I went in here looking for hair dye. A little random, hey? But Deadly Couture is the only shop around that carries Special Effects hair dye (a kickass brand that I highly suggest you check it out if you're on the market). I was a bit apprehensive going in, as I didn't know what to expect. The shopowner, Jenny, was busy with some ladies, so I perused by myself for a while. When she was finally free to help, I felt super welcomed and she didn't make me feel stupid for asking questions. (Which, as someone who clearly didn't belong in that store, was an awesome surprise.) It was kind of like talking to a very knowledgable friend. Probably one of the best customer experiences I've had. I left the store with a bottle of dye and a smile on my face. I'll definitely be back if the occasion arises. read more

I love this store -- even if I'm just browsing, they are totally helpful and so friendly. I want everything! Skirts and corsets, dresses and costumes, lacy, frilly, fun, sexy, scary... they have it all. I even spoke to them once about custom-made items as I liked something they had but it wasn't in my size/colour. Also, the hair dye they carry (Special Effects) is super strong and the colour lasts forever. Awesome jewellery and accessories too. read more

I stopped by because I'd seen an item I wanted in their online catalog. Unfortunately, though it was on their online catalog, it wasn't in their store. The cashier was kind, but unfortunately she couldn't help me find what I'd come in for. Bummer. From my brief time there, I thought it looked like a great little store with lots of cool clothes, especially for the ladies. read more

What can I say about Deadly Couture? Let's start with the AWESOME customer service. As soon as you enter the place you are immediately greeted in a friendly non-pushy kinda way. Jenny, The girl that owns the place is fabulous, Super helpful and willing to go that extra mile. The selection is some of the best in town, I've always been able to find something I just 'have to have', Since they've renovated its a lot easier to navigate around, more room to breathe and even more cute stuff! To anyone that's looking for fet wear/gothic lolita/alternative styles this is THE place to go, Just be prepared to spend more than you probably should, and I mean this in a good way :] read more

My wife and I went shopping there a couple Saturdays ago and it was very busy. Despite this, the owner Jenny, and 2 of her employees, were on top of everyone there, getting sizes, powdering rubber dresses, giving good advice on how to care for stuff, just being really helpful. Not to mention super friendly (and we dress 'normal' for the most part;-)) I even saw one of her staff out that night and she wanted to know how everything looked and felt.. Great ambassador for a small business!! read more

My favourite place in all of Vancouver, and usually the first place I stop at when I visit. If you love bdsm and fetish related items and clothing then there's no better store that I've ever experienced. The latex room is heaven, so much glorious rubber packed into such a tinny space. Almost makes it hard to look sometimes, but I find that half the fun. There's also great selections of shoes, lace, and other clothing too if that's your thing too. There's a fantastic wig store upstairs, and all 3 parts are worth a look. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I've always had good help from them when it comes to sizing and trying stuff on, and have enjoyed many a chat with the staff. If I had to complain about anything, it would be that it can get very warm and stuffy inside in the summer. So be warned. Otherwise it's a fantastically kinky one stop shopping expetience that I can't recommend enough! read more

I try to avoid Deadly Couture, since it is such a completely fabulous store it could easily suck me in and drain my wallet! I'm terrified no matter how frugal I feel when I walk through the door, the moment I'm fully in I'm like a fat kid in a candy store, skipping up and down the aisles packed with everything from the loud, edgy and clashy streetwear I adore to impossibly sexy rubber fetishwear, frilly lolitaesque cuteness and everything in between. (The staff has always been friendly and helpful too!) read more

DC has really done something awesome with their reno's. Three for the price of one, now you can go below for a gals only or guys only shopping action or simply go street level to pimp your closet. Having a wide variety of lace, pvc, vinyl, leather and that "other stuff" if you can't find something awesome then you're not looking. Vanillas beware. ;) read more

Friendly service, sale section, great selection of styles/prints (and plus sizes!) and cute accessories. I fell in love with way too many items in this store. read more

Love the store wanted to buy everything the customer service was great I recommend this store to anyone
