If you haven't visited us before, pleased to meet you, you are in for a treat! We are Wellington's favourite fancy dress and costume hire shop, dressing and creating costumes for partygoers and the film and theatre scene for two decades. Here, we have some of the widest range of vintage glad rags and costumes — we are literally packed to the rafters with choices!

We pride ourselves on creative costuming, competitive prices and the ability to cater for all shapes and sizes. Let our helpful staff piece together your outfit, mixing and matching to suit your needs… or feel free to rummage through our selection to make up your own style. We aim to make your costuming experience as memorable as your event.
Just a short stroll from Wellington CBD, parking is handy on Blair and Allen Streets.
