TIPS

The shop is clean and organized and we are SOOOO ready for customers to keep our costumers busy. We've had a little bit of traffic so far. But it never gets busy until the last 10 days before Halloween. We are a procrastinator's paradise.

It being our ten year anniversary, and my 11th Halloween of renting costumes, we offer the following TOP TEN things to consider when pondering a Halloween costume. We hope they are helpful. And please know these are observations from a wealth of Halloween costume experience that predates the shop, as well as the wisdom of many costumers and customers.

10. If you haven't started sewing your costume by now - it probably won't get done in time for Halloween.
9. If you haven't located all the pieces of your costume in your home (or your mother's house) by now, they won't be where you think they are the day before your costume party.
8. If you've never seen your husband/boyfriend in a costume before - get him to the shop soon so we can help get him used to the idea.
7. If you think you're too old or too mature for a costume, we're very sorry that you've given up on the playful side of life.
6. Consider your costume party environment (indoors or out - active or passive) before you decide what you want to be.
5. Which is more important - being unrecognizable or being able to eat and drink?
4. Do you want to be a scary, sexy, silly, or creative character?
3. Unless you plan to expose LOTS of skin - people will notice the full effect of the costume, not your figure flaws.
2. Cleavage is good and we can help.
1. Real men wear tights - but we have leggings for the rest of them!
