This has to be one of the best fancy dress shops on the coast. It has so many funny outfits and you…read morecan tell the owners have a laugh to and are always on the look out to get new costumes in. They hire and sell their outfits here so if you do go to more than a couple of fancy dress parties every year, it might be worth investing in one! My favourite is the Banana Man one!

From the owner: FANCY DRESS shop with a difference ... a bright, modern shop, with friendly staff to help you find…read moreyour perfect costume and accessories, not only this but we will advise you on hair, make up and how to accessorize perfectly. We are very child friendly, even having a tv area for children to be entertained whilst parents can take the time to happily find and try on their costumes. Added to this we have a huge range of childrens costumes suitable for individual needs or that of schools, having many sets of costumes available. We have everything you can think of - superheros, 60's, movies, etc. We also have lots of couples costumes and family sets. Aside from costumes and accessories we also have a computer area with lots of games available and seasonal gifts. So come and have a browse, we look forward to seeing you here soon.

A bargain for those wanting to see the new year in on a budget. Dressing up is always good fun and when you look good you always have a better night as you get more into the spirit.

This is because it has packed into this quite little store, most things your likely to have seen at a dressing up party, and if it doesn't, most likely, they will be able to order it in from their warehouse a few miles away within a day or so. Masquerade caters to Nightclubs for special nights, as well as film, T.V. and local theatre groups. If you are having a wedding or a party, you can come in for a consultation with one of the dressers to talk about the theme and get yourself, and your guests suited and booted. The staff re incredibly friendly, and look as though they are enjoying themselves in the eccentric and fun environment they work in. Hire costs from around £10 up to about £60 for something a bit more special. This is undoubtedly the first place I'd go to if I really wanted to make an effort to a dressing up party and needed something specific.

Now it seems to be doing a roaring trade as it looks fantastic and organised and has a really attractive and inviting frontage. There's everything you want here to dazzle your fellow party goers when you arrive in your chosen costume but it does come with a price. A decent costume can cost £50 before you start attaching accessories and that seems like a lot of money before you even go out. Ideal if you have the dosh but I'm going to stick to my Casper the friendly ghost costume involving a sheet and a pair of scissors!

I love how they have multiple things to choose from but the price is not always cheap.read more

Great shop on Western Road that has saved me quite a few times when I have left fancy dress outfit…read moreideas til the very last minute! They sell a wide range of outfits here, but I'm mostly impressed with the choice of fancy dress makeup, body paint and glitter. They sell stargazer cosmetics here, vivid colours and great quality. You can also find items like bunting, party decorations and streamers. I also purchased a pinata from here once! The staff are helpful and are on hand to offer advice. I prefer Partido to the other fancy dress shops in town. Partido don't offer fancy dress hire though.

This place is like an aladdin's cave of the ridiculous. My friends were holding a pirate party and I happened to find this place at the last minute. There was a whole aisle just for pirate gear. I was in heaven. The staff were really helpful, I guess it has to be a pretty fun place to work, but even so, they were perfectly willing to indulge any degree of craziness, which was a good job in my case. Even if you don't live in the area, if you have a fancy dress party to attend, it is well worth the trip.

You can hire or buy outfits. So so so much to choose from. Male or female, child or adult, you will…read morefind something. The difficulty is choosing which one! From Betty Boo to pirate wench, you name it, they've got it. They also provide party decorations for the whole shebang, or maybe just a plastic sword and pirate hat, what ever you want. Their window displays give great inspiration as well, the last one I saw was for a beach party so had lots of inflatable plamtrees and grass skirts! At hallowe'en they don't just go for the easy option, last hallowe'en they had a Beetlejuice inspired display. Geniuses. Pop in if not just to kill time before your train. Such a fun shop.

I am not sure on the prices but sometimes it doesn't matter what it costs as turning up to a fancy dress as a horse with moving eyes and mouth is priceless much like the mastercard adverts. It is on the 1 bus route which runs from whitehawk and through Churchill Square shopping Centre. I tried searching for some random dress-ups recently and am annoyed that I have only stumbled across this place recently.

Thankfully Harvey's is a bit of change for that norm, offering a brilliant, if not slightly odd range of items to buy and rent. I came here to rent a Star Wars Storm Trooper costume, I was able to get it for three days, and despite returning it 7 hours late, I didn't get a fine. The service was pretty friendly really, the staff explained to me about different price brackets and costs depending on what you wanted to rent. I'd certainly recommend this shop to anybody who has some fancy dress needs.
