I needed something akin to Edwardian summer whites to match with the rest of the group. The first peaches and cream dress Joy pulled from the rental racks fit like a glove. When the matching petticoat could not be found, her team whipped up a faux underskirt in coordinating fabric! I totally recommend dropping into the shop or checking out the Costume Gallery Etsy store!

Their staff are helpful and friendly. I had a package stolen from my door step and they worked with UPS to get replacements sent out to me. I will continue to use these guys. Very happy with their service.

When we entered the building I instantly realized that the store is huge (though only part of it is accessible to customers). The store has LOTS of supplies in the back that are catalogued. Think they don't have what you're looking for? Ask first, but their products are also listed online. The door was locked when we arrived, but the gentleman working quickly came over and let us in. He also took us to the makeup room to peruse a bit too. The prices seemed super fair. Honestly, I thought that Theatre House blew their competition in the city out of the water. I love cappels downtown, but their prices are higher and it's a more crowded/compact store. The whole experience at Theatre House was great and I'll definitely be back!

This is May, 2022 and Covid is not as much of a risk. No other vendor from whom I've purchased clothing has a policy like this, including online and brick and mortar retailers.

You never know what you're going to get if you go that route. Parking is slightly lacking in this area, but I went on a weekend and there were many meters to choose from. The person working the counter was pleasant. Like the other Cappel's location, I believe all sales are final, so choose your items wisely. This place is always on the short list for any themed party or special event needs. I would advise you to try to get here before any major holiday so that you get a larger, less picked over selection.

Ha..you know..you get what you'd expect from shopping at a store like Halloween City…read more A decent selection of costumes and Halloween related items at extremely outrageous prices. And they always take over the vacated locations of failed retail stores. Always casts a depressing light on the shopping experience (ie: remember this used to be a Circuit City? I loved Circuit City. I miss Circuit City. I wish this was still a Ciruit City :( (not talking about this location specifically, just saying that's how it generally is..not sure what this location used to be..it's next to the super Kroger..I can't remember..oh man, I've been talking in the parenthesis for a while now..and I think I'm in a parenthesis of a parenthesis at this point..need to get back to the review.)) Anywho, I shopped at this location the Sunday before Halloween because I am always a last minute shopper. Everything was pretty picked over. All that was left was some super expensive crap, and some moderately expensive crap. I went with the moderately expensive crap..and it had an additional discount attached to it because they were trying to get rid of it. The cashier looked depressed to be there (didn't blame her..she was going to be out of a job in a couple of days). She didn't know how to ring up the discount..she called someone over to help her..they did something and walked away..the item still wasn't discounted..she called her back over and they finally figured it out. Fun times. Anywho, I don't know, shop here if you're lazy, would rather pay more than have to go bargain hunting for Halloween crap, and feel like walking around the corpse of a failed retail shop..I guess those are my take-aways from shopping here..I dunno. TWO STARS!!

That Oktoberfest weekend always falls on my sons birthday. So, it's great to have a party place walking distance to get everything we need....and reasonably priced. Now, when I come to Cappel's, I get our Oktoberfest supplies and their Halloween stuff is out too....so, I get Halloween treats for my son's classroom here too. We always spend a good hour here because they have so much stuff for every possible event you can think of. If you can't find it here....you will have to search and buy online. The staff has always been friendly ....after reading the review on the bathroom situation...good to know. Use the bathroom before you come here. Great party store, great selection, very nice staff ....see you next September!

Don't get me wrong they had a HUGE selection of costumes that of course stay true to the name of the store, are all costumes from plays around the area and beyond. There were a few things I was disappointed about: 1) The dirtiness of the costumes. 2) Referring back to #1 if they aren't cleaned before they are given to you for rental then the fee to rent is very expensive. 3) I'm not a size 0 and my section of clothing had about 6 "flapper" aka moo moo dresses in it. The man who was running the shop was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable as was his little dog assistant. However, if you are looking for an inexpensive and clean way to spend Halloween this year- you may want to look elsewhere.

They are also known for their illusion costumes that are worn by one person, but give the impression that there are two people, such as Horse and Cowboy, Dolphin on a Wave, Gorilla and Cage, or other animal/man combinations. Chances are, if you've seen a mascot in Cincinnati, you've seen Stagecraft's work. Most recently, Stagecraft designed the Twirl and Whirl mascots for Cincinnati's 2012 World Choir Games. Other notable figures include: Gapper of Cincinnati Reds, UK Wildcat mascot, Snappy Tomato, UC Bearcats mascot, Elder High School panther, Pac Man, Kroger grocery bag mascot, Kahn's pig, Frisch's Big Boy, and countless other characters. To date, Stagecraft has created over 4,000 mascot costumes for customers worldwide. As each mascot is custom made to order, pricing varies by design. Turn around time is 4 - 6 weeks and shipping averages between $50.00 - $100.00.

I looked around for places online and this one happened to be the closest to my house. I couldn't have been luckier. The store itself is not much to look at, but what they have makes up for everything. I had my pick of whatever style jazz shoe I wanted which is not always the case when you have feet as big as mine. The lady that helped me out was great. She made sure that I got the right size and style for what I needed and helped me find the pair that was most worth my money for what I needed. Beyond Jazz shoes they also have pretty much everything else you could want dance wise (as far as I can tell... I'll admit I'm not up to date on current children's dance attire). But looking around they had lots to choose from...and It was fun looking at the tap shoes they had which took me back to my younger days of tapping. I probably won't need another pair for quite some time...but when I do, this is where I'll be coming.
