Nowhere does it say that they do not accept returns or exchanges. I went there to return an unopened item and they were unbelievably rude. There are better costume shops in New Orleans, Dentist, unprofessional and unfriendly place . No need to support a business like that.

I've been to this store several times over the years and it was always pleasant. Until I needed an…read moreitem in a crunch for an event a few weeks ago. The girl behind the counter was rude as H3ll. Like girl, I did not make you work here. She kept trying to sell me a different item than what I wanted. I ended up reluctantly purchasing item I wanted, against her will it seemed, as I really needed it. Going forward they do not have to worry about stepping foot in there again. My daughter went last week unknowingly to me and also had a terrible experience with the same person. I like to support local businesses , but this girl needs some customer service training.

Awesome spot to source a costume for any event. What makes Southern Costume different than the…read moreother costume stores in town, is that most of what you need can be rented instead of purchased.

The one downside is that the line in the fabric room can get long and it's first come first served, so when I just needed a roll of ribbon I had to stand behind 15 people who needed fabric cut. That was tedious. They don't have as many different throws as some of the other places, but this is a good place to come to fill in the gaps. Next year I'm going to really do up my Mardi Gras costume and I'm going to get some higher end fabric and this is where I'm coming!

Quite literally the most disappointing experience I have ever had at a vintage store. I am from…read moreHollywood and while planning my trip to New Orleans was very excited to come to Miss Claudia's. There were several pieces posted on the instagram as well well as Etsy shop that ai was interested in. The worker for one was very dismissive and acted like I couldn't have been wasting their time more. They told me some of the stuff was in the back and that they weren't sure if they were still available. They then got a call from the actual store owner Claudia who I asked if she knew where these items were. I described the garments as listed and was then put on the phone with her. She was also quite disrespectful and had me on the phone with her for 5 minutes talking in circles on why she wasn't sure of her own inventory. I will not be back, I have unfollowed the account on instagram, and I left upset and feeling heavily disrespected. I am a queer man by the way.

Listen to it. https://youtu.be/Fb4jguPLceQ Ok, now that you are done, here are my thoughts on the store, which are similar to the lyrics "Ma Sherie Amour, lovely as a summer day" in that everything here seems to flow with the mood of summer. I came in one late afternoon with a friend from out of town. We were window shopping in the Quarter, she had seen this store the previous day and wanted to come back. I am so glad she brought me in here. Colorful trinkets, cute earrings, and these amazing stringed flying winged creatures. I know that last part sounds weird, and it is odd, but one long string, you attach the appropriate end to the ceiling and let it hang. Spread on the string are various sizes of butterflies, birds, and they are just so lovely. There was home décor, cute sweaters that when you extend your arms while wearing it, it appears that there are wings on your back. I will be back for gifts in the future. Everything is so delicate, I would not recommend bringing in small children with curious fingers.

That being said you should definitely check it out. The only reason it's not a 5 star is because I personally think the prices are a tad high. But I did purchase a charming little heart stone from here and I definitely made the best of it. You see my fiance couldn't join me on this trip so I bought it for him as a gift. Then I decided to take pictures of everything wonderful I wish he was there to see with the heart stone in the picture. It was later a lovely gift and now it's a travel stone. When one of us travels without the other they have to take the heart with them and take pictures of everything we wish the other to see with the stone.
