But I really liked that they had other services like they make mascots for tons of companies and high schools in their area and they look really high quality. If I ever need a mascot in the future lol I would definitely purchase from this shop

AWESOME YEAR-ROUND GEM OF A COSTUME SHOP!!!…read more These guys stayed open for us, they were more than courteous even when we called four times in a row and made them stay after hours .

Went by to grab some costumes and was greeted and assisted by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The prices are comparable to the big box stores nearby but you can't beat the feeling of knowing you're helping out a small business instead of a corporation. It's a true shame they'll be closing their doors at the end of the month. So if you get the opportunity to swing by before they're gone for good, I'd recommend it.

You can find Cherry's located on N. Broadway a mile or so north of 410 in a shopping center... north side of the center facing the street and up the stairs. They have way more room for all their costumes and accessories... it's all spread out! They are excited with the expansion and hope that you will come in to see them! I was introduced to Cherry at an event we were both at several years ago. We have common friends. Since then, I have stopped at her store every so often to see how she is doing. If anyone knew Cherry, they would understand that she is getting older with family and health issues... and she is/was not running a typical run of the mill business. If you were in a shop alone working and sewing inventory, you might understand her wanting appointments instead of walk-ins. Cherry now is enjoying her retirement while her son Christian is taking charge and holding up the reins to carry on! Cherry's Costumes Galore does have a lot of older vintage costumes they carefully restore. It's amazing to have someone who loves textiles so much to take on this challenge! I didn't get a chance to look at everything but having this huge building, it sure does help you get a chance to see more of what there is to choose from. Let Christian or Amanda help you out! You know, costumes aren't just for Halloween.. think about a themed party, First Friday Pub Run in downtown SA, or perhaps one of the many Renaissance Festivals that run through out the year around Texas... Costumes really are for year around fun!

I called to ask about shipping time. For the standard shipping cost, it appeared I would receive the item in time, but FF offered to call me back after placing the order to discuss a faster option (not an expedited service). Well, they did, they had an option for another carrier, and even offered to absorb the cost difference. I got the item a day earlier than estimated with the original carrier. The item is also quite fragile, but it was packed very well and arrived undamaged. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and will definitely be looking here first for my freaky items!

The endless amounts of gag gifts and costumes can keep me here for hours. The staff is very friendly and has always treated me and my kiddo like family. One of the owners shared a story with my boy, who shares his fascination with all things chicken. That was what originally caught my boys attention since they had shirts with chickens on them. They have all sorts of unique shirts here and it's become a routine to stop by and check out what cool new gear they've received. Recently, we checked out their masks, and I've never seen such a selection of clown and dark creature disguises. I have to say this is definitely a hidden gem that has to be explored whenever out this way and no matter what time of the year for us. I always leave with something unique and unforgettable.

Some of the trends we noticed this year: Black Panther and Wonder Woman. Games like Fortnite and Fallout. New (and new-ish) shows like Miraculous (Cat Noir and Ladybug), Steven Universe, and Descendants. The big face masks -- kittens, emojis, politicians -- are hilarious. Steampunk seems to be on the rise. On this trip, my big haul was accessories like silly hats (useful for public speaking gigs), tights (for goth dress up), and cute hats and fascinators (for parties). We are planning to come back soon for some yard decor and more kids' costumes.

Sadly it's rotten at the top. I expressed disappointment in their decision as a company to no longer carry gaming supplies from a Texas based company and instead of simply providing a reasonable explanation for the business decision or say nothing at all the owner chose to publicly mock me instead. While it might not be much but since that day I have voted with my wallet a happily take my business elsewhere.
