Joan I.

A testimony to the quality of products that Robinson sells. Approximately 30 years ago I bought a mask and boa at Robinson's. To me it was it expensive ($65 back then) and I debated spending that much money. BUT 30 years later with many Halloweens, Mardi Gras, other parties and friends borrowing the mask and boa - they are still in excellent shape. What seemed expensive 30 years ago breaks down to approx $1 per wearing. AND I still always receive compliments no matter what costume I am wearing with them. Thank you Robinson's

Around Halloween time, this is a purely Halloween Store. Cramped aisles of costume after costume from boys, girls, men, and women. Then there are accessories, masks, make-up, and other Halloween items. Almost bought a Ghostbusters costume, but it wasn't even close to authentic and didn't have the backpack/proton pack. I checked Google Shopping, and there were a ton of better costumes at cheaper prices. The place was pretty disheveled, but it was before Halloween, so I understood. But, if you need a costume right away (and can't wait for delivery), this is your spot. They have a ton of options.

Seriously feels like I walked into the year 1930 here..

A costume shop like NO OTHER, this place is both cool and scary. Like seriously scary. It's like walking into a horror movie, they have super old carnival games with noise coming out of them every couple minutes or so like music and voices (creeeeeeepy).. The place is like one huge haunted attic of someone from many many many many years ago that has just been discovered by you. What seems like old theatre costumes and wigs/props/random accessories line up every inch of the place, with hidden corners and crevices filled with more stuff. Most of the wigs seem to have been worn/tried on but the good thing is that you can try any wig you want and there's a huge mirror to do that-- no frills. The back is lined with costumes you can rent, but they also have a lot of new packaged costumes (ones you'll find anywhere else around Halloween) at the front. It's pretty hard to describe without being there, it's just that unique. If you're in need of a costume, an idea for one, or you just like to visit haunted places, I would def say come check this place out at least once, it's kinda like a museum..Though I did get a couple things I probably won't come alone next time haha yes it was THAT creepy to me! PS: I couldn't really find the place when searching 'costumes' on yelp but happened to pass by (right across from mitsuwa market).. A hidden 'gem' I guess you can say.

"Katrina..?" "Yeah!" "Where are you?" "I'm in the military uniforms room! ... Where are you?" "I'm next to the aisle of headless monster suits!" We continued this call-and-response, finally meeting somewhere between the pile of white go-go boots, the wall of hats and the creepy seamstress station, at the Lawrence Welk Show dress mile, tucked in the back. The only thing that made me sad about Robinson Beautilities, apart from the part where they don't want you taking pictures, is the fact that all of the costumes and most of the accessories are rental-only, which means that none of those spangles or feathers or epaulets or beads were going to make it home to their rightful place in my costume trunk in the attic.

this.... I can't...

I am reviewing this establishment as someone from out of town doing window shopping who likes oddball weird things. And woah, does this place fit the bill! With their assortment of dusty/vintage/off-label character costumes, I felt like I was in a B horror movie from the 70s. It was so cool! They also had vintage arcade games as well (warning: the Terminator pinball machine and the skeeball machine both ate our quarters). Lastly, let me review the store clerk. We walked in and he was just sitting behind the counter quietly and eerily staring off into space like he himself was a dusty old costume. Highly recommend if you are a hipster or photographer or instagramer, this place has a lot of interesting things to wonder at.

Don't let the name confuse you. The first time someone recommended this place I questioned the recommendation but no more. This is the best place to go for costumes, accessories, and random dress items whether you're planning for burning man, Halloween and just about everything in between. Walk past all the packaged costumes in the front to see the extensive collection of rental costumes. One area I've found them to be great for are items needed for costumes from various eras - 80's prom to 50's madmen. I haven't left here disappointed yet. Service is friendly and accommodating but can sometimes be slow particularly if there are a lot of other people here. Also while generally well organized sometimes you need to root around a little to find what you want. Just plan to go with a little bit longer than you might expect and you'll be fine.

Eva was awesome! She can really help you put a costume together!

Do they give an F that you are willing to shop there? No, but they definitely have some awesome one…read moreof a kind pieces that will make you stand out and look like a knockout.

The lady tells me they have TONS of them. So without too much thought, in desperation of a nice corset, I hand over a couple dollars. As the lady is doing my "membership" I mention that the fee is unusual and ask why they do that. I am told that it is to keep creepy men out of the store. Huh...but I'm a woman...why then, as a woman, am I being charged? And why would $2 stop a creepy guy from coming in anyway? I've seen creepy guys do a heck of a lot more to express their creepiness. My $2 is already gone so I figure there's no point in pushing it. Upon entering the main store area, I am greeted by, wait for it, a creepy man! Cool. He tells me everything is made in the back room...I am skeptical. He asks if I need help finding anything and I said I was looking for a corset. His reply was something along the lines of "well, there's not much left but here's where we have them." Dude what? Not much left? The girl at the front who charged me an entry fee just told me there was a huge selection!? So now I feel ripped off, and I've not even begun to look at their prices. What an absolute insult -- everything is insanely overpriced for the quality. This place is a complete scam. Pretty sure the $2 is the only reason they're still in business.

I called this company in the hopes that they could help me put together a prop birth certificate as a 14 year old birthday prank I wanted to give my son. It is something I've wanted to do since he was born and something I think would bring joy to his heart with the intentionality and time behind it... Pictured are the responses I received. It was truly hurtful. I get that if you cannot offer these services you might educate them on that. After spending over an hour trying to get my full credit card scanned to them for a quote and this was their response when I only followed the prompts of their website, I was blown away. Just so the public is aware, this company only handles "large productions" in case you didn't see it on the website, I certainly did not. So if you're not a big production company, be prepared to be rejected or talked down to. I was, however, able to develop my own gift to my son. I'll put it in the photos as well :) Praise God!
