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.

On many occasions I've searched the entire city centre for the best party costumes, and can you…read moreguess how many times I've been completely satisfied? Nil-pwa! Cotteridge makes it well worth travelling a little further a field to find the most unique party wear, and guarantees that you won't be wearing the same costume as anybody else. Everything that you can possibly think of can be hired at this loft-smelling, humble store, from Medieval costumes to Roman dresses to Victorian wear, to 70's flares, all at quotable hire prices. There's also a great selection of purchasable costumes hanging from the ceiling, and if you're more interested in dressing up as a mascot, you can hire giant Sonic, Shrek, or Bart Simpson heads. Yay! Pinocchio's looks quite traditional both internally and externally. The life size statues of a cow and a bowler-hatted chap (both standing outside) are unmissable from the roadside and the pavement of the Pershore Road. So you won't have any problems trying to find the store at all. Inside, you'll be greeted by more statues of cowboys, indians and other stereotypes, all helping to make the whole costume shopping experience feel fittingly theatrical!

I generally have to furiously search my mind for excuses when I'm invited to a fancy dress party…read more They really aren't my thing at all. Dressing up of any sort brings out the grump in me. If you were ever to invite me to your fancy dress party and I tell you that I'm washing my hair, or re-arranging my sock drawer, then I'm lying to you. I'm at home in front of the telly, counting my blessings. However, even if you aren't unlucky enough to be invited to a fancy dress party this is a charming shop and my son LOVES it. There are wall-to-wall costumes of just about any sort you can imagine. If you fancy being a cowboy, Wonderwoman, a caveman, or anything else you can think of, this is without a doubt THE place to go in South Brum.

Highly recommended! Mo, Harrow

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.

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.

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.

Ashtrays, prints of Marilyn Monroe, games, keychains, tapestries, candles, incense, buttons, mugs; you name it they claim it. When I need to get a gift for someone I come here to buy it. Finding something cool here is guaranteed.

There is a good price range for the different themes and I am sure everyone can find something suitable in there. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
