Sizing For Fancy Dress Costumes

We stock a large variety of costume brands, and the sizing of each brand can differ slightly. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when you can’t try on costumes before purchasing. Since we've transitioned to an online-only store and no longer offer costume hire, it’s more important than ever to choose the right size.

When you're buying online, we provide a detailed size guide with our retail costumes. We try our best to give you an accurate idea of what the costume sizes are equivalent to in standard Australian sizes. Our team is knowledgeable about our products—some brands we've stocked for years, so we know what to expect. For new brands, we take extra care by unpacking sample costumes, measuring them, and observing how they fit. We use this information to help you pick the most suitable size.

Some general advice: In the ladies' ranges of short and sassy costumes, the fit tends to be on the smaller side, so you might want to consider sizing up.
