I really like this place. It lays in a perfect middle ground between a party store (which…read morepoor-quality gag items) and a costume store (for real, actual use on stage and at festivals). On the plus side, you can probably find what you need there - at either end of the spectrum, without breaking the bank. On the minus side, they don't have a ton of elegant, high-quality costumes - many are better-than-Halloween-store quality, but not by much. It's a little like the Tardis - it goes back deeper than it seems. Service is quite nice and rather German - at first a bit curt (whether you can go behind counters) and sporadically superattentive until they're on break. But they're very sweet and helpful and affordable and overall, a good choice in a city without a lot of good choices.

The only caveat is that this place does not accept ANY returns whatsoever, even in their original packaging and with receipt, so BEWARE! This is the only downside though, and the reason I cannot awars five stars...
