You can get everything you need here and they also sell things for wedding, hen nights, stag do's and other generic parties. As well as costumes you can buy they also have a large range of fancy dress costumes to hire! In the past i have hired a scarlet o hara costume! When it was my friends hen night we were able to get L plate and hen night balloons, willy straws, party bag items and dares! Using just for fun i have managed to dress up as a cowgirl, a black fairy, a moulin rouge girl and scarlet o hara! I really want to try there tinkerbell costume as well as it looks so cute! Make sure you get in there early on special occasions. For example on Halloween at about 1pm it was one in one out at the door! If this is the case there is a larger store in Hedge End.

This has to be one of the best fancy dress shops on the coast. It has so many funny outfits and you…read morecan tell the owners have a laugh to and are always on the look out to get new costumes in. They hire and sell their outfits here so if you do go to more than a couple of fancy dress parties every year, it might be worth investing in one! My favourite is the Banana Man one!

From the owner: FANCY DRESS shop with a difference ... a bright, modern shop, with friendly staff to help you find…read moreyour perfect costume and accessories, not only this but we will advise you on hair, make up and how to accessorize perfectly. We are very child friendly, even having a tv area for children to be entertained whilst parents can take the time to happily find and try on their costumes. Added to this we have a huge range of childrens costumes suitable for individual needs or that of schools, having many sets of costumes available. We have everything you can think of - superheros, 60's, movies, etc. We also have lots of couples costumes and family sets. Aside from costumes and accessories we also have a computer area with lots of games available and seasonal gifts. So come and have a browse, we look forward to seeing you here soon.

If like me you love dressing up, then this is the shop for you…read more Pretty new to Bristol and with some heavy competition in the shape of Christmas Steps Costume and Chaplin's this place is doing just fine. Not only do they buy in some crazy costumes but they also have the knowledge and capabilities to knock them out on site. Some of my favourites are the traditional Clown suit and the Alien from Outer Space. Prices vary depending on what you want with most trousers for £10, a suit for £25 and their most expensive - £130 for a full Roman Centurion dress-up (the actual one worn outside the Coliseum!) Give them a ring or pop in, and I'm sure they can get your party going with a bang.

For flamboyant, funny or fantastical fancy dress costumes, this is your place. From Action Heroes…read moreto Wizard of Oz characters, they can help you. Not only does this shop sell ready-made costumes, but they even make stuff to order at very reasonable prices, so even if your party theme is completely off-the-wall you should be able to get kitted out here. The staff couldn't be more helpful, and seem genuinely into the whole costume thing - without making you feel under pressure to buy if you're not sure. For between £10-20 you can buy some of the simpler ready-made costumes, while for bespoke designs you're obviously going to pay quite a bit more.

Highly recommended! Mo, Harrow

This place is like an aladdin's cave of the ridiculous. My friends were holding a pirate party and I happened to find this place at the last minute. There was a whole aisle just for pirate gear. I was in heaven. The staff were really helpful, I guess it has to be a pretty fun place to work, but even so, they were perfectly willing to indulge any degree of craziness, which was a good job in my case. Even if you don't live in the area, if you have a fancy dress party to attend, it is well worth the trip.

From Betty Boo to pirate wench, you name it, they've got it. They also provide party decorations for the whole shebang, or maybe just a plastic sword and pirate hat, what ever you want. Their window displays give great inspiration as well, the last one I saw was for a beach party so had lots of inflatable plamtrees and grass skirts! At hallowe'en they don't just go for the easy option, last hallowe'en they had a Beetlejuice inspired display. Geniuses. Pop in if not just to kill time before your train. Such a fun shop.

Then, 2 days later I get an email telling me my package was processed and will ship shortly. So I was misinformed.

Really irritated by the blatantly wrong and misleading information.

I visited Mad World first thing on a Monday morning on the hunt for an astronaut costume. In fact,…read moreI had been on the hunt for the astronaut costume since the Friday before and luckily this was the one shop that had one in stock. Astronauts must be in demand. The staff were extremely helpful on the phone and on walking in, despite my practically jumping on the lady who worked there as soon as she arrived to make sure I got the costume, she wasn't at all irritated and very friendly. I had a mooch around the shop which I have to admit made a light start to a gloomy Monday morning - they have all sorts of fun costumes and accessories including some huge and gorgeous 'Bling Rings for £2 which I actually contemplated buying for real use. The outfit cost £60 hire for the week which is very competitive in comparison to other London fancy dress shops. The costume was a bit more...colourful (lots of sequins on the boots) than probably what Neil Armstrong is used to but it did the job! The place is a little tricky to find and almost like a warehouse when you get inside. Definitely one to try for your next fancy dress (or astronaut) party.

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'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.

Love this shop for my craft needs and expert advice. Also able to collect points to receive treats!read more
