How do I know if an item is in stock in the online costume shop?
Click on item in question and its details will include Availability.
Availability will be either ‘In stock’ or ‘Out of Stock’.
Of items shown to be ‘In Stock’, not all sizes/colours may be available.
If you choose your desired size/colour under ‘Select Options’, you will be informed below the selection box if that version of the item is ‘out of stock’.
We might have stock coming soon or be able to order it in for you.
How do I know what size I am?
We want you to get the best fit possible, so we have included sizing charts for different brands of costumes.
If you’re tossing up between a couple of sizes, it’s normally safest to order the larger size.
If you need further help, we would be happy to assist you, just contact us..
How do I know you have received my order?

Yes, provided we are contacted before 2pm EST on the day we are due to ship your order and have not yet packed it. We've outlined the procedure below and details of associated shipping costs.
If you would like to add something to your order, please contact us immediately. We pride ourselves on our efficiency in processing your order. If you catch us before 2pm on the day we are due to ship your order and your order has not been packed yet we will be able to add items to your order. We will require payment for the additional items you wish to add and will send them with your original order with no additional postage cost.
If you create a new order online before we pack and post your original order for additional items and are getting them shipped to the same address, we will ship both orders together. Unfortunately we will not be able to refund you for the postage of the second order you placed. This is why we always recommend calling us if you would like to add something to your order.
If you contact us after 2pm on the day we are due to post your order or after we have packed your order, you will need to place a new order for the extra items you would like and pay for postage of your second order to you.
