Dazzle

I went in here purely because it’s a play on my name. I jest. I noticed this new shop had opened so I popped inside for a nosey… and wow! This place is just bursting with costumes — as Liz said, it’ll probably close down after Halloween (when else do people normally need an abundance of costumes?! Ok, christmas, sortof, but generally, Christmas isn’t associated with pumpkin dress, no?), but it’s fun while it lasts.
It’s quite pricey, but all the costumes look semi-​professional (you know, not authentic disney, but a pretty darn good copycat), and they look like they’d last at least 1 night out on the tiles.
My favourite costume bit — the couples section. «A Space Aged Couple Costume» was my favourite — rip off of the Jetson’s anyone?! Fantastic.

Dazzle has recently opened up for the Hallowe’en market and no doubt will be closed again in a couple of weeks.
It has a wide range of costumes for everyone, and some I’ve never seen before such as Dino from the Flintstones and Mr. Potato Head.
Prices vary, but they are quite steep in general. The advantage of a shop though, is that you can try before you buy. Last year I bought a hallowe’en costume online that was obviously designed for a 6 foot model, because the skirt was almost knee-​length! Yeas I know, we can’t be having that.
