The staff at The Costume Shoppe are top notch. The owner really is particular about customer service based on who he chooses to represent his company and take care of his customers Maddie was amazing.! She helped me create a costume for my husband that was a 10/10. We will definitely be back! read more

Lots of Superhero ideas for a superhero themed party. I also thought the Harry Potter selection was good. Would totally recommend!

I was invited to attend a renaissance themed birthday party and needed to come up with a good costume. So while I was in Canada for a weekend trip, I came upon this place and wanted to check them out. They have a great selection of high costumes for rent that can be used for almost any occassion. I can see this place being very busy during the Halloween season. Along with the rentals, they had a large selection of accessories, makeup, and other props to help make your costume complete. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I had a picture of what my date was wearing and was able to show them and they came up with some great ideas of what I could wear in order to match her costume. read more

I discovered this funky joint on a recent stroll in Inglewood, and I had a groovy time. I was greeted straight away and asked if I required any assistance. When I said I was just browsing, I was free to do that, sans pressure. Something tells me they likely get a lot of browsers here, and why wouldn't they? They have every kind of costume imaginable, which are available to rent or buy. They've got masks-a-plenty, wigs, costume footwear, funky glasses, Halloween decorations, and boas. Oh, so many boas, in every colour of the rainbow. I had no idea they were in such high demand. I'd highly recommend reserving your costume selection in advance of any major holiday or else you'll be out of luck, although there are plenty of other costumes to choose from if you don't get your first choice. read more

The Costume Shoppe - Costumes Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

What a cool place! I came in looking for a few props for a western party I'm attending and the staff was so helpful. I was buying for 3 other people and was on and off my phone the whole time. One of the ladies overheard me telling my friend I needed to match a boa for someones dress and she set out a whole bunch she thought could work for me. Normally I dislike costume shops and dressing up but this place made me think I could give it another go. read more

Kid. Candy shop. Kid. Candy Shop. Kid. Candy shop. Wow, wow, wow. The staff is the friendliest I've had the pleasure of meeting. And why shouldn't they be? They work in a store that specializes in fantasy. Get ready to see wigs of every shape and size (in affordable price ranges: $15-25), costumes of every flight and fancy for sale, and I did spy some pretty amazing rentals too (snow men, teddy bears, scary rabbits etc). From costume shoes, wigs, accessories, tights, masks, and of course -- costumes (Strawberry Shortcake! Mad Hatter! Wenda and Waldo!!), The Costume Shoppe has me sold. Extra points for shipping and having an online store. Bonus bonus points for pulling a brand new shipment out of the basement just so Wendy P and I could don our very own "Refreshinator" super hero costumes at Beer Fest. read more

No idea why, but yesterday was the first time I visited The Costume Shoppe. Picture a girl, young at heart, walking into a gigantic store that embodies Mr. Dressup's Tickle Trunk within four walls. Heaven. On. Earth. The Costume Shoppe is a bigger, better version of Malabar (a popular costume shop in Toronto). This place has got everything from mascot costumes, to a full suit of armour; Disney characters to Sesame Street ones. And the best part? Depending on exactly what you need the get-up for, you can choose to rent or buy. Why haven't I been sourcing all my Halloween costumes from here?!??! I could have won a mini fortune in 'Best Costume' prizes all these years! And look out all you die-hard costume junkies. If you LOVE all the added frills, then I assure you, this place has got shoes, wigs and costume make-up that I've never seen before. Oh, and let me tell you about the service. It rocked. I was well taken care of, and I completely appreciated their toe-tappin' music playing in the background of my visit. Hands down da bomb. read more

Love it! Needed to find accessories for my Halloween costume and stopped by here. This time of year there are a ton of options for your Halloween needs. This place has perfected the art of costume shopping. The location has a tight parking lot - which is obviously going to be full the weekend before Halloween - but tons of street parking. (Today there was an added bonus of a Food Truck! - yum!) What sets this place apart from the rest is that, things are not ridiculously expensive - I found it to be VERY affordable. Other places I feel like they're out to get you just so they can become profitable for the few weeks they operate. The absolute best part of my shopping experience here was the service!!! The blonde girl helping me was one of the most helpful salesperson ever. (So were the other sales people). They help you find exactly what you're looking for, and give you some great insight into your costume. Please note: this place is obviously going to be packed during October - so be patient! read more

Admittedly, I had never been to The Costume Shoppe until about a month ago. I had the luck to attend a VIP shopping night and see what it was all about, although I didn't make any purchases that evening. The store has something for everyone. Pretty much any costume or accessory you might need is at the store. While you want to get your gear well in advance (a week +) of Halloween (the last week is complete mayhem) otherwise it's a pretty slick operation. Look through the books, write down your choices, and the staff bring it up to you. A little inconvenient that they only give you one costume at a time to try on, but I totally get it - otherwise, the costume pieces would be everywhere & missing, things would be wrinkled, put in wrong packages, etc. Definitely a good way to keep things organized but slows down the process a little. What can you do? They've also got a website (www.costumechik.com) where you can look up what's in stock in prep for coming down to the store. Voila! (5/30) read more

This store has an absolutely impressive selection of costumes; over 1,500 as a matter of fact, there is no way you are not going to find what you are looking for in here. You can rent their costumes or you can simply buy them. $80 to $120 gets you a 3 day rental from head to above the toe costume(shoes not included) and if you want a more extravagant one they do have them for a little bit more. But don't bother dry cleaning or mending a tear before bringing it back in, they will do that all for you, they even have seamstresses on staff. According to the very friendly and helpful salesgirl, in the history of the existence of the Costume Shoppe never has she seen any misuse or negligence of a costume rental. Even the big mascot costumes, you know with the big animal heads have seen a great survival existence even though clients have worn them at the bar. But it doesn't stop here; there is a shoe department, wigs, makeup, masks, hats and accessories. It seems like a pretty well oiled Costume Machine Shoppe here. Some things to improve perhaps would be to repaint that really dull and dirty looking yellow painted wall and replace those old Styrofoam mannequins heads with newer ones. But I guess with the obvious age of the place comes a reputation of still being around after all these years so they must be doing things right. read more

I'm lovin' the Costume Shoppe. Once upon a time, they would've been top of mind at Halloween. Now, they're top of mind whenever I'm thinking a costume or accessory would be wise. Take last Friday, for instance. We were running a photo booth at Lucha VaVoom and I thought it'd be cute to have a touch of something burlesque-ish for us gals workin' the booth to wear. The Costume Shoppe had to have something... and sure enough, I found the cutest little mini-top hats for each of us to pin in our hair. They were perfect! Besides having an array of accessories and costumes for sale, they've got a back room full of costumes to rent as well. It can get a little pricey, but you'll come out looking better than anything you could've made at home (unless you have a seamstress on hand), spend a fraction of the time coming up with it and have a place to take it when it's all said and done. You'll also be hard pressed to find more helpful staff. These ladies have been around the shop awhile and know what they're talking about. They also know their stock. They found me like half a dozen different looking hats in but a few minutes! read more

This place is awesome! I actually had no idea it even existed, until we drove by after a delicious lunch at Holy Smoke. We decided to pop in as I was looking for a Halloween costume, and were greeted at the door right away. The staff let us know the deal - all the books in the back are full of the costumes they carry, so you write down the number and they will bring it up for you to try on. Cool! We browsed the large selection of accessories, masks, wigs, shoes, and more - then finally hit up the back area to check out the costumes. They have EVERYTHING! Although I felt that some costumes were way too expensive, the variety was awesome. You will definitely find what you're looking for here. The place was busy but it didn't feel chaotic or unorganized, and there was plenty of staff milling around ready to help. Although I didn't end up purchasing anything here, I will definitely visit again in the future! read more

The ugliest experience ever. I tried to rent a costume for a party. The woman who helped me was extremely unpleasant to deal with. She offered one outfit that was too tight - I asked if she had something in a larger size and I found a dress I liked and she told me I could not pin it. When I explained that the former costume was too tight - she told me that was the style of the dress. When I told her I couldn't breathe - she said that was the style and I would have to deal with it. Then she left me in the costume for five minutes while she looked for more dresses. Would not recommend The Costume Shoppe. Avoid at all costs. read more

What an Amazing Business. I just purchased a costume & have to say, the website was incredibly user friendly, the customer service (I called in with questions) was top notch, the costume itself is high quality, at a excellent price..... and you managed to ship it all the way to Fort McMurray in a single day....100% my store for all of my costume needs next year!!!! Thank You So Very Much!!!!! So Impressed!! read more

I found the best costume for a 80's Party. The quality was okay, but the price was right

I finally had a good excuse to visit the relocated Costume Shoppe, as I hadn't been here since it was in Inglewood. Hello, Halloween! It's my favorite 'holiday' of the year and the Shoppe did not disappoint. Wow, what an awesome selection. For some reason I don't remember being this excited about it before. I only had Halloween on my mind but the insane assortment of stuff enticed me to broadened my search and I purchased various accessories for other fun, dress-up occasions. I bought some sweet legwarmers and a pair of crazy glasses. In fact, the selection of glasses is so entertaining that I probably spent 15 minutes just browsing and trying them on. I had to get a second opinion because I couldn't make up my mind between two pairs, but I really could have blown money on five. Other items that really drew my attention were the cool hats and masks (some made with leather that apparently mold to your face over time to make a nice fit). The selection of costumes is insane and you basically need to review the catalogs, then have the staff fetch the ones you're interested in to try them on. To fully embrace the shopping experience here, be sure you've got an hour to spare (unless you have a specific item in mind). Don't limit your visits for the sole purpose of Halloween either because you'd be missing out. read more

What a fantastic experience! The staff was super helpful and always available to answer questions even though they were also helping a bunch of other people. The system they have set up is spectacular for getting the size and style of costume that I was looking for. It was WAY easier than rifling through everything like I usually have to do at other stores. They had everything from quick and easy outfits to high-end quality which blew my mind! I will DEFINITELY be back for my every costume need, and if you know me, you know I buy a lot of costumes and accessories! These guys have everything! read more

This place is the real deal - I actually don't enjoy Halloween, but a work event had me in need of dressing up and so I went in search of a easy but fun costume. Right from when I walked in the staff were amazing - and I am not exaggerating even a little bit. They were so lovely and helpful. And creative! They can make and create almost any costume you want dream up. I actually had fun!! Even when I had to come back with a slight change and needed to exchange my rental they were so amazing about accommodating me - even 3 days before Halloween! Once again the sincere service and the creativity of the staff blew me away. I would recommend The Costume Shoppe to anyone needing a costume. Happy Halloween!! read more

The outfit I chose, ended up getting me on stage with Lady Gaga ! The quality of the outfit was the best I found in Calgary...no frayed ends and cheap material is being used....I'm so happy to have gone here....I wont go anywhere else now - only here! read more

Found the item I needed but they need to fix their checkout process as I stood for ten minutes to buy an item while the person in front of me was going through a costume rental. I ended up giving up and put the item back and left. Neither person behind the cash counter cared that I had been standing waiting. read more

This place is awesome - great staff - very helpful. If your looking for a costume for any occasion you can't go wrong here!
