The Costumier

I needed a Regency gentleman's coat for a re-enactment group and most places sell something that looks like a dressing gown. This one has the correct collar and a decent wool blend. Measurements on the listing matched the coat I got, which is rare. Lining is a bit thin but that's fine for the purpose, and the stitching is clean all round.

Bought a bright pink wig for my mate's birthday night out because we wanted to match. It arrived in a couple of days, the fringe was a bit wispy but I trimmed it and it looked fine. We wore them all night and nobody could tell it wasn't a real wig, which was the whole point.

First time ordering and what got me was the inside of the dress, the lining is neatly finished rather than raw edges. Used it for a 1950s themed birthday and it moved well on the dancefloor. Arrived in good time and the tracking email was useful. Checkout was simple enough and I'd happily use them again.

Ordered a pirate costume for my little brother's birthday party and the size chart was spot on, he fits it perfectly. The hat is a bit flimsy but honestly for a kid's party it's fine and he's been wearing it non stop since. Would order again, quick to arrive too.

I was looking for a Victorian day dress for a local heritage event and I did have a look at a couple of other sites first. This one had the most accurate pattern and the fabric is very pleasant against the skin. I'm afraid the delivery took longer than the estimate suggested, and when I wrote to ask after it the reply came after about three days. Once it arrived everything was in order and I'm pleased with it.

I needed a grey wig for the panto and didn't want to spend a fortune on something I'd use once. This one was reasonably priced and the fibre is soft enough to wear for a whole evening. Postage was included so the total was what I expected.

We needed period clothing for a short film and the costume department was short on time. The jacket and waistcoat were exactly what the director had in mind. Sizing was a touch generous on the trousers so I'd check the chart carefully. Still a good buy for what we paid.

Got a Tudor doublet for a renaissance fair and it's sorted. Ordered on my phone during the lunch break and it took about two minutes. Delivery was quick and the fit is good. Will be back.

Went to the costume hire place in town first and they wanted a lot for a week. Found this and bought the outfit outright, which turned out cheaper than hiring. The waistcoat is a proper heavy brocade and the buttons are real metal. Quick delivery and an easy return on the trousers which didn't suit. Good stuff.

I compared a few sites before buying and this one came out fine for a stage production. The costume itself is good quality for the price. The return form was a bit fiddly and I had to ring them to confirm the address, which took a while. Otherwise sorted.

Needed a few cheap costumes for the school play and wanted to keep the cost down. Got three for less than I'd have paid elsewhere and they held up through the rehearsals and the show. Sizing was accurate so no faff with returns.

I've been sewing my own historical kit for years so I notice the seams. Compared to the other places I looked at, the stitching here is tidier and the fabric weight is closer to what you'd expect. The only niggle is the postage was a bit slow, but the item itself was fine.

ordered the knight armour set for a LARP weekend and honestly it's way better than i expected. the helmet has a proper visor and the tabard is a decent weight. it arrived in a sturdy box with no dents, which matters when the thing weighs a fair bit. delivery was quick and the site was easy to use on my phone. definitely going back for the shield next time, looks ace.

I've bought from them for years and I'll keep going back. Compared with the costume shop in town, the prices online are a fair bit higher for the same kind of thing. The outfit I got for my grandson's school play was good, just pricier than I'd hoped.

Honestly one of the best places for last minute fancy dress. Ordered a pirate set on the Tuesday and it was with me by Thursday. Quality is decent for the money and the sizing was accurate. Only reason it's not more is I didn't get to try it on first. Sorted, will use again.

I've been buying from them for about eight years now, mostly wigs and the odd bit of Victorian costume for my local amateur dramatics group. The sizing has always been accurate and the customer service people have been helpful every time I've rung. Long may it continue.

Ordered a full Victorian ladies outfit for a murder mystery night and it arrived in a box with everything I needed, including the petticoat which I wasn't expecting them to include. Sizing chart was spot on and I didn't have to faff about with returns. Would definitely use them again for the next themed do.

Bought a set of three costumes for the village panto and paid less than I'd budgeted. The fabric is a bit lightweight but it's fine under the lights for a few performances. Delivery was on time and the checkout didn't charge extra for the second item. Good value for a small group.

Got matching sashes and a tiara for a hen do and they look brilliant in the photos. Ordered on the Friday and they turned up Monday, which was quicker than I expected. Everything was in good nick and the bride loved it. Would order again for sure.

I needed a proper cosplay outfit for a convention and the ones I'd seen elsewhere looked flimsy. This one has good structure and the corset panel is well made. Ordering was simple and the confirmation email came straight away. Looking forward to wearing it.
