This isn’t your ordinary costume shoppe. This is a specialty store with rentable costumes for theater or special events. They don’t necessarily have “everything” but it is a good place to start when searching for the perfect Marie Antoinette gown for that swanky soirée you have just been invited to.

Everything you can think of for Halloween, costumes, sexy stuff and lots more.I find the staff to be great every time I visit. They are always eager to please.Stock is enormous, and much nicer quality than the other place.Prices are best in town, and very reasonable.Dont waste your time anywhere else!

High quality theatrical costumes, makeup etc. Very fine and beautiful work from creators who obviously care about their work. If looking for something specific its best to call ahead to make sure they are properly stocked, especially in the Halloween season as they get cleared out of certain things (especially makeup) pretty quickly.

I needed a good looking costume for a dress up wedding (weird, I know). I had no clue at all what to wear. I met Liz after walking into the shop. She immediately put me at ease, and walked me through the process. She measured me, discussed how I wanted to look, and then showed me many options to try on. It was obvious that she knew what she was doing. In the end, I ended up getting a great looking medieval knight costume. This was a great costume, since I was a groomsman. The place is big, bright, well laid out, and the staff are very helpful. I will absolutely be back to Pierres Costumes if I ever need a costume again.

In August I went to Pierres and met with Joy. I told her I needed victorian style Tuxedo/suits for my Victorian Halloween wedding in Oct. Joy immediately measured and fit myself and my best man. Over the course of the next two months Joy met with me again. Using measurements I gave to her from groomsmen who were out of town. Joy selected two whole wardrobes for my guys. One final time a week before the wedding another employee fit my final groomsman. ( I did not get her name since I was not there) So to end this long story. Pierres and especially Joy suited myself and my men with perfect costumes/victorian suits for the best night of my life. The two suits for my out of towners fit perfectly Very professional and accommodating young ladies staff this business. I recommend Pierres Costume to anyone wanting excellent service and awesome costumes. Thank you again Joy and Pierres. Francis Underwood

The staff bend over backwards to help you here. They dont seem fazed by the unruly college crowd that get pretty rude with them during the Halloween rush. I kind of felt sorry for them working with some of the people that came in so late. Of course I was one of those people too. They will make you look great even when you are clueless and dont know what you want to be for Halloween. The costumes are awesome looking. Not the run of the mill party store junk that comes out of a bag. This is real movie costuming. The kicker is that it is not expensive. The prices end up being less than if you went to a party store. The place can get a little overwhelming when it is Halloween, but the staff will calm you and make the process feel very nice. They have so much in the way of costumes and accessories that it really is hard to narrow your choices down. Dont skip over this place. you owe it to yourself to see why this place has been around for over 50 years.

Should have gone there in the first place. I wasted my time at another shop, but could not find a nice costume for a New Years theme party. I found exactly what I wanted after trying on several outfits. I also got a really nice wig to push the costume over the top. Matthew was really helpful, and steered me in the right direction.

The staff are ever so helpful and really go the extra mile to help you. They spent so much time with me, I felt guilty. I ended up getting a perfect costume at a really reasonable price. I dont know of anywhere else where I could have got this level of costume (this is not just party costumes, but real theatrical and movie costumes) for even less than a party store price. This place is really a great find. I dont know why more people dont know about them? They seem to be a well kept secret for those in the know. When I was there, they were somewhat busy, but were very well able to keep up with the customers since the staff were very adept and educated. I found the whole experience extremely enjoyable and would go there again next time I need a costume for a party or any event.

I purchased a really nice Santa suit here. The lady was very patient as I know I was a pain in the neck. I ended up getting all the stuff like beard, bells, gloves and more. I would not go anywhere else for Santa suits. I also saw lots of other Santas in the shop as the same time as me.

While Ive only gone here for make-up and prosthetics, Ive never left disappointed. I always find myself marveling at the detail of their rental and display costumes while waiting for their awesome employees to come back with a solution to my problems. I buy one specific kind of body paint there and if theyre ever out of stock, the staff are quick to offer solutions and ways to fix my problem. Theyre very kind and compared to other costuming shops, are the nicest and most knowledgeable staff out there.

They have really great looking costumes there. The selection is hard to beat. Attentive staff, and unique looking costumes. They also have masks, wigs and makeup to finish off your look. If you are into halloween, you owe it to yourself to stop in there.

This is like a grown up funland. They have so much to offer, its hard to choose. Top quality theatre costumes that fit properly once the staff work with you. Easy and enjoyable process to get a costume, and at the end of it, you will actually look like a grown up, not a kid in a halloween costume. Staff are very friendly.

I hired a 70s costume and it was dirty and torn in places. I asked the sales staff to have the items cleaned and stitched before I picked up the outfit and it wasnt done. You would think that after being quoted $90 for the outfit and the the repairs and cleaning not done that I would get a discount. No chance. Im not hiring from this place again.

Rude, unhelpful, snooty. I called and asked them to take on a project that was needed immediately. They didnt have time for the next 3+ months. No problem. I asked for recommendations as to who else I could turn to and the response from teh manager was I dont give out my competitors names. Sure totally understandable if you were able to do it. Sine you cant, and I cant wait a little help would have been nice.

I stopped in to get my halloween costume early this year - they are very busy close to halloween. The girl that worked with me was really great. She was helpful and patient. I ended up getting one of the best looking pirates you have ever seen. I cant wait to halloween to wear it.

This service is horrible, the employees were rude and these prices were so out of pocket ! I walked in then walked back out! The costumes looked over used and i just wasnt pleased. I had to take a longer drive than i expected, but it was worth it rather than spending my money here.
