They could not have been more helpful and inventive in producing the majority of the costumes for my school production. They paid attention to detail in relation to period of drama. They even organised for a collection of items to be made through their contacts. Quite frankly I would have lost many nights sleep without their help!!! Really appreciate their support and would recommend any director to look into using them for their production. Thank you soooooo much!
Had to find a costume for my 10 year old son who was playing a lead part in the Schools musical Grease. Found shop through the internet and was amazed on arrival at what a choice they have. The staff are so friendly and spent a long time with us mix and matching different items and success we left with a fantastic costume and had a great time at a very very reasonable price. Never went into a Costume hire shop before, I always searched the high street for what I needed I wont be doing that again would recommend Character Costumes to every parent. Thank you to all the staff for all your help
I needed a costume for "Book Week" at the school where I work and had an idea of what I wanted. When I got to the shop I was suddenly overwhelmed by the choices available! The staff were very friendly and spent a lot of time helping me choose the perfect outfit - even to the point of answering honestly the question " Does my bum look big in this?" Ten out of ten for a first class service and I found the prices very reasonable . As for the outfit, I went as Cruella De Vil and was congratulated on a very good effort, the children were most impressed too! I will and have recommended Character Costumes to various friends. Thanks for all your help!
I have used Character costumes several times over the last 8 years and have just as much fun trying the costumes on as going to the parties themselves. The staff are very friendly and are full of great ideas especially for the more unusual costumes. The costumes always smell good. I recommend their services to everyone!! Thank you Character Costumes for some great memories.
Went to a western party wanted something different, I was sorted out with a comic cowboy which looked great and gave everyone a laugh. My wife was a saloon girl and looked lovely. We were impressed with the costumes and found the place friendly and helpful. Thanks Andy
