    I rented for my last show, and I was amazed at the amount of options I had! The pieces were perfect and Carmen was great to work with.

    Do you rent costume wigs? If so, is there a catalog to look through, or do you suggest I make an appointment?

    We don't have a very large selection of wigs, mostly we focus on costumes. You're welcome to come look but most of the ones we have are specific to a show like the iconic red Annie wig.

    I am curious if you rent a single costume prince charming at the ball golden jacket one? What is tje approx rental cost? Thank you

    Hi Sheila, for individual rentals, there is an appointment fee of $15/30 min. That amount goes toward the rental if you do end up renting from us. For a period costume, it would be about $50-$60 depending on what accessories you want. That rate is… Read more

    I needed a 18th century dress for a themed masquerade event, and searched everywhere for it…read moreincluding online (ebay & amazon) and costume shops in San Francisco and Sacramento. Sadly, I had no luck. The dresses in other costume shops were soo pricey around $150-275 just for rental, and the online ones I found were too shabby for its price or just not appropriate. I accidentally stumbled upon the Enchanted Cellar, when I was watching a play at Wright Hall. I am so glad I found this place because Roxanne is very knowledgable about the time frame of the costumes, and they had a good selection of dresses for every era. I would call ahead to double check the hours, if they have what you are looking for, and the price range for the type of costume you are looking for. I tried on lots of dresses, finally found what I wanted (took me at least one hour). Also I paid around 46 bucks for 2 or 3 weeks rental with student id (Roxanne was very accommodating, since my event was in San Francisco, and I couldn't be in Davis for some time), but I think the price depends on the costume and the duration. She even tailored the dress a little bit to make sure it fits me. A+ service. Additionally, although some of the costumes here are pretty old, they have a high quality because they were actually made here mostly for plays. If you don't want to have overdone or slutty costumes for Halloween or any other event, definitely check this place out! The price might be questionable and out of range especially for students, but a lot better than many places. Recommended!

If you're looking for a costume for a specific party, or for Halloween, this is an excellent place. Go in with a couple ideas of what you're looking for, and see what you find... you'll be able to peruse racks of costumes to see what might work for you, and after you find something, you can also rent accessories to match! Angel is always helpful and kind, and generous to assist with her artistic vision if you need a little bit of help putting something together. You'll pay a fee to rent the costume and a cleaning fee, and it is due back after a week or two. Go check it out, and enjoy!

They have shorter hours these days, but extended for Halloween season. I would call before visiting. The owner Margie Belrose passed away, so hopefully we can spread the word as good Yelpers to get more people to come here, whether it's to rent costumes year-round and/or learn about this iconic Marin institution the Belrose Theater to keep it open for many years to come. Angel is always helpful. There's something for everyone, a variety of adult sizes and numerous outfits for men and women, along with accessories. It's feasible to rent these costumes, you get to keep them for approximately 30 days, and there is a $3 cleaning fee. There's ample metered street parking on this side of San Rafael. Be mindful of the meters, as I forget about time when costume shopping - so much FUN! 'Til next time ~ happy shopping and see you on Yelp (SYOY)!
