They unfortunately don't do it. They rent wedding dress. But boy, is this place great to look at! The stock is amazing! They have everything. They even have realistic fake rubber trouts to recreate those "Asterix and Obelix" village fight about fish freshness. I'm a sucker for hats and they had plenty of them. But sadly...No wizard hat. (I think maybe it was elsewhere) Also, they have crew to make custom armour design both in leather and metal. I want to say I didn't put any pictures of their work because they don't want to get copied and I totally respect it. Believe me they are pieces of art! Even if you don't want to dress medieval this place is a must see. It's so much more!

When Halloween rolls around and you need a costume you need to visit Ponton. It is located well…read moreoff the beaten path on a remote stretch of Ste Catherine St in the Hochelaga Maisonneuve area but the detour is worthwhile. I had left my Halloween costume prep to the last minute so I came here in desperate need of an accessory. I was blown away by the vast selection which happens to be spread out over 2 floors. If you can think of a costume they probably have it. They only do rentals and it is easy for the price tag to get steep if you aren't paying attention to what you're renting, but you should consider this place when in need of a costume.

I came to Ponton Costumes based on a recommendation to rent a fantastic Halloween outfit for a…read moreparty and I'm glad to report the recommendation was totally worth it! In fact, they are far more than a costume place as you can get a huge variety of outfits for many types of events whether it's a party, wedding or even a gala. What I particularly enjoyed was the renaissance pieces and had the opportunity to view the fitting of a pair of french noblewomen in the making. There's a main floor and a basement, the latter held the goods I was looking for. After checking out a few outfits, I went with an astronaut costume and it was pretty awesome. At the party.. it was a meteor hit! Out of this world! You can come for a fitting days, if not weeks in advance to find what you want and rent the costume for a specific date. My only issue is that it's not cheap, I found good value with my outfit (helmet, suit, boots and gloves). Some others though, not so much... it can be pretty pricey for a rental for an evening... but if you have the means...

Walking down the Costume aisle a few days before Halloween has no perks, there's only one of everything left and the meh costumes are left. I was only in to pick up a few little things and even at that it was very slim pickings. I got my costume earlier in the month so I wouldn't suggest going here the day before of kinda place. Decorations were nice but half of the things that were set up were broken I guess from everyone walking around touching them but it was nice to see them make a fun part in the store.

Very kool store!!…read more This place is seasonal so don't expect to come year round. It is loaded with tons of costumes, decorations and other Halloween necessities....but it's extremely expensive. A full adult's costume will run you between 50-80$ and sometimes even more. The decorations were in the 100-300$ range *yikes*. Also despite the incredibly wide variety of costumes for both kids and adults: I could not find the items I was searching for to complete my 2 costume ideas. One might think that's because I chose obscure costumes but that is not the case (you'll see at the Yelp parties next weekend)! So i found that quite disappointing. The decorations are really kool though. There were even a few that genuinely elicited a *yelp* from me (pun sorta intended)! I did really enjoy the costumes, so i plan to save my pennies and come here without any costume ideas next year to splurge on something really awesome. If at all, this place is great if you need ideas, several of the staff were very helpful in feeding ideas to people who described their past costumes and what they were looking for this year. Definitely kool to check out!

Pros: Lots and lots and lots of choices. Up-to-date with tendencies (they had costumes of Star Wars…read moreEpisode VII months before the movie came out). Haunted house section is great! Masks are also nice (but they downsized it from previous years). House decorations section is also great. You can try the costumes before buying. Cons: Staff is very young. Employees complained about the boss between themselves in front of us, the customers. Liquidation is a mess and the writings on the costumes on what is missing is full of grammatical errors. If you are searching for something specific, staff will have NO IDEA of what you are talking about (searched for a Luchador mask and a Bubble wrap costume and staff looked at us with a blank stare). Go there to purchase a costume, knowing exactly what you want. If not, good luck on finding what you want.

There is all sorts of stuff here, from wigs to dresses to specialty umbrellas. The store doesn't look that big, but dig a little deeper and one will find there is a backroom with plenty of variety of fabrics in different sizes. I came here looking for old style shoes and umbrellas and came away empty handed. It was just my luck they ran out that day of the type of stuff I was looking for. The couple running this place was young and super nice. They were gracious in answering my group's questions and were able to communicate in a variety of languages. I'm sure the next time I need to find Asian accessories in Montreal, I'll probably stop in here to check things out.

I'd say it's definitely worth a look, there's something here for everyone.
