    I'm not really one for spending a lot of money on fancy dress costumes, last year for Halloween I…read morewent as a bunch of grapes. I just cellotaped a load of purple balloons onto a black bin bag and put a green hair bobble on the top of my head. Simple. I couldn't sit down the whole night and I had a few punctures along the way - thankfully I had some spare. Anyway, I looked ridiculous but it made people laugh and I guess that's what fancy dress is all about, well, better that than people who use it an excuse to go out with their bits on show. If you're looking for a fancy dress costume then Fun World is definitely the place for you, they have over 5000! From emus, santas, Disney characters, tellytubbies and Betty Boop to um... Hitler and Sadam Hussein. Maybe steer clear of the last two. All hire costumes are individually priced but they don't come cheap, so make sure you don't go too wild with you're costume on. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be lumped with a couple hundred pound fine for an ostrich costume missing a beak.

    Fun World is the best fancy dress shop in Glasgow and it the name also reminds me of Fun House with…read morePat Sharp and the twins! "Fun House, it's a whole lot fun, prizes to be one. It's a real crazy show where anything goes!" Sing along everyone! Anyway, back to Fun World. This store has all your usual skimpy numbers for you shameless hussy's out there including a selection of Legs Avenue costumes which are ridiculously expensive considering they are so tiny and don't cover your bum or your nipples. Fun World also has much more modest versions of the classics such as police officers, pirates, cowboys/girls etc. but what Fun World does best is costumes that are a little bit more original and humorous. You'll find things little characters from Little Britain, sperm (yes, sperm) and Popeye. They also have a great selection of accessories to really complete your look such as hats, footwear, face paints and wigs. You can buy most of the costumes although they are very expense or hire them which is obviously cheaper. The staff are so helpful and a good laugh and there is a party feel about the place. Ok I got the words "bum", "nipples" and "sperm" into that review and I wasn't even reviewing a sex shop. That has to be a Yelp first surely?

    If I hadn't have found this shop's website online, I wouldn't have known it existed. Up two…read more(three?) flights of stairs on St Enoch Square, facing theshopping centre, Fairy Funny has all kinds of fancy dress costumes. A lot of the costumes are for hire, but there are some for sale too. Behind the counter in here, there are loads of costumes, masks and accessories, although I would prefer it if you could rummage around a little more. There are catalogues to look through for ideas and rental costume availability. A couple of changing rooms are in the rear area and what I wouldn't give to work in here and see some of the idiots in costumes! Get here early though - as with all seasonal shops, the queue really starts to get riduculous at peak times.

    If it's the week of Halloween and you don't have a costume, I'd only advise you visit this shop if…read moreyou have patience, tolerance and low blood pressure. One Halloween I was after some fairy wings so after some googling, I set off into town to find this place. And what a sight that greeted me; a queue out the door and down the stairs. I imagine the Halloween custom keeps this place going throughout the year. Once inside, I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff in one place. There were novelty costumes from every era and all sorts of accessories. If you're looking for a particular costume, this shop is bound to have it but it'd also be a good place to go if you're looking for ideas. Despite the madness of queuing to get in a shop, Fairy Funny has good stock and does lots of deals with office party specials, and discounts for school groups and students. I'll most likely be visiting this shop again this month, however I'm going to do it sooner rather than later and I suggest you do the same!

    One of the longest lasting shops trading in the city centre, Tam Shepherd's is a well known, well…read morerespected name in these parts. It's a traditional joke/magic/dress up store, so expect to see anything on display, from kid's tricks to massive, elaborate looking wigs and masks. It is a treasure trove packed with a vast array of weird, wacky and wonderful props. The staff are very experienced and are really helpful. It's a small shop where most items are behind the counter which I always thinks looks very Victorian. Or like something out of Harry Potter! It is quite magical (boom boom tsssh!) so that figures. It was queued out the door for Halloween, but on normal business days it usually does steady business. Perfect for performers, magicians and people who just love dressing up in their everyday life. A must if you're doing a Glasgow heritage shopping trail!

    Tam Shephard's Trick Shop is a family-run business for over 100 years. This is quite famous in…read moreGlasgow for its Hallowe'en costumes, magic tricks and practical jokes. For me, it is famous as the shop that is fairly empty for 11 months a year, then has a queue snaking violently down the road in the weeks approaching Hallowe'en. The window display showcases a range of masks and wigs, creepily lifelike. Inside, the space is small, and crammed to the rafters with goodies. If you want to see something out of the display case, or try a hat on, the staff are only too happy to accommodate you. In the past I have bought: a pirate hat, a "lit" cigarette, a multi-pack of fake moustaches and a big bling medallion thing. It sells full costumes, wigs and full-head masks too. Everything is priced appropriately, and all of the little things I have bought have been cheap. If you're planning to shop here, I would advise going before October begins, to avoid the mad rush.

A longstanding addition to the In-Shops in The Forge Shopping Centre, this has always been the place to head for Halloween, Fancy Dress Parties, Friday nights...Any excuse! They have reels and reels of gorgeous fabrics, for the keen clothing maker, as well as lots of tubes of lovely buttons, thread, needles, wool, knitting needles - the lot! This place has saved me many a time for last minute costumes, selling ready made entire outfits, at a snip of the price of their city centre competitors. I particularly enjoy paying a visit to have a giggle over trying on their silly wigs and transforming my 'do to all manner of ridiculous new looks. A marvellous little dressing up box of a shop and one that I visit time and time again. Highly recommended for fans of dressmaking and dressing up.

Prices are really reasonable and much cheaper than you would pay elsewhere. If you are handy with a needle and thread then you can buy all the items to make your own items as they have a huge amount of different fabrics, trims and buttons etc. Staff are really good and if you need a bit of advise about what you need they are more than happy to help. Loads of goodies packed into quite a small space. Best thing is value money.
