    So, you want a nurse outfit? Boom, they've got it! 80's themed party coming up? Boom, got some of…read morethat! Rambo, clown, fairy, mermaid - boom, boom, boom, boom! In terms of customer experience, Fancy Dress Fanatics have got it nailed. The lady who owns the shop is lovely and really helps you get the right look; without trying to sell you moustaches or eye lashes you don't need. I went in with a few mates to try on some of the Oppo suits for a stag do (if you don't know what Oppo suits are, Google it). We were allowed to get the suits out of the boxes and try several on to get the right size. The lady said she would set up a spreadsheet for all 26 of us, take individual deposits and then the final amounts just before we leave, which I thought was great. As best man it certainly takes pressure off me. With lots of costume and fancy dress shops in Bristol, it's difficult to do anything really different. From the outside, Fancy Dress Fanatics don't really offer anything to set them apart, but go in, chat to the owner and try some stuff on - you'll see why I speak so highly of it. Great shop, but above all, great customer service/experience.

    I was trying to find something for the yelp Halloween get together tomorrow and i thought i'd try…read morethis place out as Thom had said good things. I'm glad i decided to come here as they had loads of stock without looking over full, loads of choice and i was allowed to not only take out the outfits from the packets i could try them on! My usual go to fancy dress shop does not allow this making it really difficult to assess whether it will fit or not. The shop is quite big with rental fancy dress at the back along with changing rooms. They sell contacts, any accessories you could possibly need and the best range of costumes i've seen to date. If you don't know what to go as (like me) then you'll get a hundred and one ideas popping in there, they have outfits i've never seen anywhere else which i love, something a bit different! Variety is the spice of life :) The staff were really nice and helped me when needed. Prices were actually cheaper than i was expecting to pay-bonus! I think this may replace the other shop as my go to fancy dress destination.

    Fantastic little vintage store tucked behind Whiteladies Road on Cotham Hill. I always thought this…read morewas just a fancy dress shop and indeed you can hire many of the items inside as well as purchasing a wide range of accessories from Indian headdresses to bumble bee antenna. There is a good range of make up too which matches the reasonable prices of the dress-up accessories. What I particularly like about this store is the vintage clothing. Catering for both men and women, there is a good range of 50s through to 80s stock in good condition and at reasonable prices - dresses are around £15. I particularly liked the bargain bin in front of the counter where everything was £5. There were a few dresses, a handbag and some retro men's shirts - all of which I had to dig around for but that's half the fun isn't it? Although I came away empty handed I would definitely come back here for a vintage or fancy dress fix.

    This is a great fancy dress shop. It's really fun and colourful and a really lovely shop. They make…read moreyou feel welcome and are extremely helpful. Unlike some fancy dress shops all the costumes are out in the shop, hanging on the racks in all their bright, beautiful glory...tempting me to dress up as the space cowboy I've always wanted to be. They have a lot of useful party/festival clobber in Naff, including chest wigs...perfect for those Magnum PI parties (?). I have friends who actually buy their sunglasses from this shop; they say they prefer them to the proper ones. So some of the stock is actually pretty good quality and not the tacky, cheaply made plastic costume items you usually find. You can spend one minute in this shop and find some really fun stuff, things you didn't even know you need to be wearing on your next night out.

    Perhaps I encountered the staff on an off day, make that days, but whenever I've frequented this…read morecostume shop the atmosphere has been flat and the staff have been quite abrasive. There is no doubt that this is one of the best fancy dress shops in town, with a huge selection of hire outfits and accessories to buy. But while I was in there looking for an 80s outfit (not my party I would like to add!) I felt that I was being watched the whole time. The staff were cranky when I wanted to try on a wig and just didn't seem interested. If you're a student then this place is the equivalent of those newsagents that have a handwritten sign in the door: no more than 2 school children at any one time allowed inside!

    The Christmas Steps Costume Hire and Joke Shop is a wonderful shop hidden away just a short walk…read morefrom the city centre. It does look a little tacky from the outside and I think that a bit more effort in the shop window could really help draw more customers in. Inside, they have pretty much anything you could ask for. Their website isn't great and doesn't do the business any justice so if you are looking for a costume definitely pop in for a visit. Their catalogue is extensive and I'm sure you'll find something to wear! The staff are also really lovely. They were really helpful and informative, and they never seemed to complain no matter how many costumes I wanted to try on!

    chaplins does not do refunds…read more I went in to buy a costume (£30) and the shop does have a good selection. however, I presumed I could try on the costume at home and return if it didn't fit very well. When I found that the size was wrong, I went back with the costume in pristine condition and packed back how it had been when I purchased it. I only then saw on the receipt that no refunds or exchanges were offered but I thought I would pop into the shop just to enquire. Although I understand that no refunds/exchange policies are common in the fancy dress business, there are no signs around the till indicating that refunds are not offered. I simply explained to the same salesperson that the size wasn't right and I thought it was worth speaking to the them in person to ask for a £30 refund despite the policy. I was not pushy in anyway. The response was unnecessarily harsh and patronising given I was simply asking a reasonable question. When I mentioned the sizing, the salesperson indicated that it was up to me to make the costume "look nice" and generally they were very condescending. I will not be shopping at Chaplins in the future but be warned that refunds are not accepted.

    Chaplins of Bristol is wonderfully located in the centre on Bristol, very near to the Bristol…read moreHippodrome. It has a good range of costumes for most ages. There is also a huge range of accessories and face paints. Price wise, Chaplins isn't that cheap. I went in to buy some braces for a geek outfit and the cheapest they had was £6. I ended up buying some from another costume shop in Gloucester Road for £4. Inside it is a tad crowded. There is a lot of things crammed in, and if there is more than about 3 people in the shop you all will struggle to navigate yourself around. One word of warning: this is not a shop to bring children in (unless you are fine with them seeing what you would expect in the 'restricted area' of Ann Summers).
