The Costume Shop

Waterloo

Nestled in a nondescript corner of Waterloo's industrial estate, the Costume Shop has 12 rows of costumes organised by category and neatly filed in folders at the front of the store. With brilliant costumes from Ghostbusters to giant monkeys, wig hire and costume and party accessories over two levels, even the searching is enjoyable.

Snog the Frog

Surry Hills

A stone's throw from Central Station, Snog the Frog is delightfully kitsch and stuffed full of awesome ensembles. There are celebrity masks from George Bush to Saddam Hussein and a vast collection of outfits behind the counter. With no space to browse, the website provides a comprehensive directory of all the shop's costumes and accessories.

Ace Costume Hire

Petersham

The staff at Ace Costume Hire are on hand to help you out with suggestions and advice to help you make the choice that has the potential to make or break your night.

Carnival & Toy

Glebe

Bring your little princess or devil to Carnival and Party Warehouse's costume shop to keep them from raiding your closet. The shop has been in business over 70 years and has built a collection of more than 7,000 items.

Dazzling Fancy Dress Costume Hire

Yagoona

They make in bulk for stage productions and corporate events and even hire out to the measly fancy dress partygoer. The best bit? Hire costs average around $65 and you can dress up as Vegemite or Aeroplane Jelly.

North Shore Costumes Pty Ltd

North Sydney

North Shore is owned by Bunny Gibson, aka 'Rita the Eta Eater' from the old TV commercials, and features an astonishing 3,000+ costumes. Bunny herself is more than happy to help and passionate about her craft. Costumes include Wee Willie Winkie and the Queen of Hearts.
