Online Costume Hire - Recommendations?

Hi all,

Superhero and villains themed christmas eve party at the gfs! Trying to dress to impress as im the sort who never does! Wondering if anyone has dealt with any good costume purchase stores either in Perth or who can direct me to a good online store that does quality costumes for the price you pay, and are a breeze to deal with in terms of purchasing or if there are any return problems?

I've been eyeing "The Joker" , and see that costumecollection.com.au does a deluxe and normal version:

http://www.costumecollection.com.au/superhero-and-villain-co…

THere are a few other stores popping up on google such as :

disguises.com.au
heavenscostumes.com.au

Has anyone dealt with the above? A few stores have the joker but the costumecollection website seems the most sophisticated.

My only worry is a) are costumes really $80 for a standard gig, like a shirt, jacket etc. surely a spiderman is a onesie latex style and cheap to make lol, same for captain american? Secondly they quote for the joker up to 44" as standard which I believei fall under chest size. but these stores never quote shoulder-arm sleeve length (i'm tall , slim but with broad shoulders - around 6 foot 2 inches) so I'm wondering if while you may fit these things whether there'll be a problem with sizing.. does say they get stretchy material though… but still?

All recommendations are welcome!

  • Good question. I went to a superhero party back in August which was my first dress up party. I was thinking of renting a costume, but didn't see it worthwhile paying up to $100 if I was only going to wear it for a few hours.

    I ended up buying one on eBay for $20 and picking it up (would of been $30).

    Usually one size fits most.. thats what the packet says anyway.

    • hmmm haven't tried ebay! I assume it's cheaper but not sur eof the quality.. im sure if you could locate the generic supplier the joker costume being sold on costume collection is probably alot cheaper than the $85 they want… then again don't know what the qualitys like on ebay i guess….

      to hire a costume i remember paying at least $50 for a jack sparrow look so i figured $85 for the whole outfit to own was bettter as you could always re-use it one day for some sort of theme or dress up perhaps?
