Warm Friendly Service with a smile! 2/24/2011

Not sure about the negative posts but my experience was excellent. The employees were extremely helpful. Never felt rushed. I asked a bunch of questions and they walked around with me until I found the outfit I needed. Everyone in the place smiled and said hello when they walked past me which almost NEVER happens in New York. I felt welcome. more

Every Year 10/17/2010

I stumbled upon this shop a couple of years back through a friend and wow I was impressed. You can spend a whole day if you please looking and trying on costumes. They have everything.....and that is no exaggeration. If you have a company themed party or just a little get together I would definitely recommend stopping by this shop! more

Exactly what I wanted-a cool period costume 10/8/2010

I am new to NY from LA and went here through a recommendation of a co- worker who said he has never seen anything that comes close to the authenticity of the period costumes that he saw here. My two big ""MUST's"" the authenticity ( I was invited to a huge NY museum crowd theme party), and cleanliness of the costumes. Wow- this place is great. Authentic and whimsical! They fitted my gown, had a great brand new (in the wrapper )wig for me-and even helped with accessories and shoes. Great help, cool dressing rooms, very cool space. Hello NY! See you next theme event.... more

I could never go anywhere else. 10/1/2010

I have been renting from this company for years! They have EVERYTHING I have ever imagined, and costumes that one could never never think of. The ladies have been more then personable and comforting. The individual attention I receive has made it a pleasure to shop. (Even years when it was a couple of days before Halloween, and the pressure was ON.) The prices are always within my spending range, and I ALWAYS feel I'm receiving my moneys worth. I strongly recommend Creative Costume to anyone looking to have an exquisite Halloween this year! (As far as people with negative reviews: think twice about your complaints, it may just be you.) more

Great Elvis Costume 9/29/2010

I rented an Elvis costume from creative costume for Halloween a few years ago. It was the hit of the party. People were astounded by the quality and the detail of the costume, they though Elvis had actually come back to life. The on-site alterations were crucial to me as the costume fit perfectly. I will definitely be using creative costume again this year for my Halloween costume!! more

It's hard to tell which is better, the selection or the service 10/25/2008

We've gone back four years running to Creative Costume, and we've always been completely thrilled with the results. The costumes are high quality - so if you're just looking for a mask or a cape, this isn't really your place; you have to really enjoy dressing up to get the most out of it and for the price (our costumes run about $250 on average). The garment quality is fantastic, and they'll do on-site alterations to make it fit you - same day or come back later. The women who work there have a keen eye - they've often suggested something I wouldn't have thought of that turned out looking amazing, and they always want to help you have the complete look, with all the accessories you'll need. It's the first place I'd recommend for anyone looking to get their Hallowe'en on in a serious way! Pros: great selection, onsite alterations, complete look Cons: price tags high - but worth every cent more

REALLY BAD SERVICE 10/13/2007

I just have been around town looking for a costume, never did wear one ever. This was the first place I tried and I left within minutes. Soon as I came in I was rudely asked what I wanted. The place is dark and dreary and not inviting at all. Actually the dressing rooms were nice. The costumes were all in plastic bags so you couldnt really look around. The help was terrible and I left without finding anything. The costumes were not great, just okay. I think if you are in business you should treat people better. Pros: nice dressing rooms Cons: bad service, rude people and in the garment district more

good costumes, horrible service 11/4/2002

Maybe it was because it was a few days prior to Halloween, but the service was horrible. It was not crowded at all- and the staff had attitude and were unwilling to help. I called earlier, asked about prices and a certain costume. I was quoted incorrectly as I was told when I got there. It was expensive and the they did not offer to alter the costume. The costume also had a rip in the back near the zipper and they acted as if they wanted to cover it up. They have variety and some great outfits- just don't expect them to be in great shape with service along with that. more
