I went into this place for the first time this weekend. It had a great selection. My friend and I found a ton of different costumes and we were able to find exactly what we wanted. The staff was really fun and helpful and gave us alot of ideas. I really enjoyed this place as it had a wide selection of costumes and great, friendly staff!

Best Selection and friendly staff!

I went here to look for a Halloween costume and was so impressed! The store looks small from the outside but is huge inside with a great selection. The basement even has a whole display of rental costumes. The store overall is very fun! The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly too. I'd definately recommend coming here for different, outrageous, inexpensive costume.

The Best Costume Store in Chicago

by goatking at Citysearch

Think costumes are for Halloween only? Think again. Chicago's finest costume store boasts a veritable cornucopia of costume selections year round. Located across the Lincoln Park campus of DePaul University and a block and a half from the Fullerton El stop, this costume store has never failed to come up in the clutch.

While it's true that Halloween is the busiest time of the year, if you're heading to a theme party, this place has a giant rows of wigs, walls of makeup, moustaches, hats, and other random stuff to steal the show and be outrageous and ostentatious. Any movie character you've ever wanted to dress up as, you can either buy a boxed/bagged costume or rent it out for a few days. Any costume you can find online, they have it and will let you try it on to make sure it fits. Any costume that they don't have, they will be kind enough to order it for you. As far as you can stretch your imagination, they will find some way to get it to you.

If you take a step into their basement, you'll find the rental section. The rentals at Chicago Costume are some of the best I've ever seen and are professional theater quality. Walls of armor and heavy metal weapons are available in the rental section and well as historical costumes with intricate accessories.

I have to give credit to the people that work there because they love what they do and are always willing to point you to the next costume even after you tried on four costumes and still didn't find what you wanted. I really can't remember the last time I bought a costume anywhere else because Chicago Costume has the widest selection, best location, and nicest people.

Great selection, Great pricing and Great Service

I needed to find a clown outfit for a birthday party. However, I was hoping to be a more casual clown, so I wanted to know my options. Courtland was very helpful showing me several options. He even showed me one shirt that can be used for either a clown, pirate or prisoner. I ended up getting a few things that worked out perfectly. I was very pleased considering it was convenient, affordable and had a large of selection to find what I was looking for, Also, it was easy to find parking.

• Pros: price, service, selectoin
