There’s a lot coming up in the near future–from RetroFest to the start of Opera season. Be sure to check out our Events Page to stay up-to-date with what’s happening in the theatre community around Greenville.

On a related note, those of you getting ready for RetroFest should definitely check out our shop! Our online store contains mostly sale costume and accessories, but our physical location has a fantastic selection of vintage and vintage-styled rental outfits. We carry everything from bell-bottoms and polyester pants to daishikis, pimp suits, leisure suits, and some great one-of-a-kind dresses. That’s right, our rentals are all unique–you won’t see someone at a party with the same outfit as you.

Definitely check out our selection online, though: we’ve got some retro costumes here, as well some choices of men’s platforms and women’s go-go boots.

Aside from that, we’ve also got a huge selection of Retro/hippie sunglasses and shades–big, small, blue, clear, green, gold, sparkle; all sorts–and several different wigs that are just perfect for hippie costumes. We’ve got afros, long hippie wigs, bobs, and gogo-dancer wigs. Come by the store and try some on!

…and there are just so many in our store! You may have noticed the links on the left side of this page–yes, they are shortcuts to our men’s, women’s, and children’s costumes. Don’t be disheartened by our small online selection of kid’s costumes; we’re adding them into our database now. Soon there will be many more–the same goes for accessories, as well as wigs. Please bear with us while we’re adding stock (we’ve got thousands of items). We’re currently getting in several things–like Michael Jackson costumes, several different wigs, and more costume shoes (including go-go and lace-up boots, among other things).

If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just call us at 864-271-4260 and ask! We most likely have what you need, and if we don’t, we’ll do our best to direct you to where you can find it. We’re more than happy to answer any questions during our business hours, and if we’re closed when you have a question, just email us at costumecurio@gmail.com anytime and we’ll get a response your way as soon as we can!

Thanks again for reading, and remember to subscribe here to stay in-the-know about the shop!

This should be the last post for today, but it’s worth posting…when you search, the results now automatically sort themselves into 16 products per page, in a 4×4 grid. Not only do they do that, but they’ve also got thumbnails displaying preview images of the products (with the exception of the makeup items that don’t have a picture yet). If you want to see more products, just look at the bottom of the page and click First, Previous, Next, or Last to see the respective pages. This new organization will make it much easier for everyone to see what we’ve actually got in stock.

For a sample, click here to see how we’ve redesigned it–now you can browse images and costumes, like the hippie costumes above or the pirate costumes here–or even just click on their respective pictures!

This will help you if you don’t know what you want to be for Halloween or other parties–just type in “nurse” or “pirate” or whatever you have in mind, like “sexy,” for instance, and we’ll show you what we’ve got that’ll work. Now you can just browse through pictures and see if anything sticks out at you.

Naturally, all of this is being done to make everything easier and more intuitive for you. We’ll keep you updated on everything else going on around the shop and the site–thanks again for reading, and remember, if you’d like to subscribe (and automatically receive updates on our store) go here or just click on “Entries RSS” just below “Subscribe” (to the top right of this page). That’ll keep you in the loop as to when new shipments come in, when we add new inventory, and when the site has new features!

That’s right, most of the Leg Avenue costumes are up on the site. These costumes are perfect for Halloween–or even all sorts of themed parties. You can check them out here or just search for them on the left. We’re currently adding more keywords for all of our costumes–and we’re still trying to add as much stock to the site as we can. We’ll keep you updated on how things are going; thanks again for reading!
