I came here with a coworker who wanted to buy a santa suit. We were driving and didn't think a…read morecostume store would be in this area. It's next to Pho Van which is a pretty busy restaurant. There isn't much else in this area of the neighborhood. I love how the store is packed full of costumes and accessories. They have the largest selection of witch hats I've ever seen. The items are organized in a clutter-y sort of way which I love. Kind of like my closet hehe. They had a great selection of suits ranging from the cheap packaged ones to a $700 classic suit that looked like Santa himself would wear. She was nice enough to give us an advanced boxing day sale of 50% off on the suit. She had all the accessories of course and my friend gave it to his father-in-law as a present. It was a huge hit! Now they'll have a Christmas tradition of dressing up as Santa for the little grandchildren. You must come here if you're in search of costumes, accessories and the like.

Anyway, I am glad they haven't because I get to FTR it, but, more importantly, I got the last gorilla mask in the shop! This place really is a gem for costumes and dressing up paraphernalia - it is literally packed to the rafters with stuff and on first entering the shop the temptation might be to back out slowly, overwhelmed by the amount of stuff. Don't. Go and find the lady who runs the shop and tell her what you are looking for - she will take you straight to it. Alternatively, just browse and enjoy the myriad of options open to you.

Many of the pre packaged costumes are made from cheap material, and are poorly designed. They don't fit like they should in the most bizarre area. So for this reason I am very glad you can try them on. They do however have a large selection of accessories. I suggest you make your own costume, or buy elsewhere, then come to this place for the finishing touches. The right accessories will make the costume complete.

This is a small specialty boutique shop filled with unique items ranging from the Renaissance period, Steampunk culture and Victorian style pieces.
