Feather boas, tutus, flapper dresses, angel wings, and the occasional gorilla suit overflow the narrow aisles of Austin's best-known costume and vintage clothing outlet. The owner, who really does dress like that all the time, is a walking advertisement for her fascinating store. The store carries more-or-less subdued clothing like floral-print dresses and striped shirts, but you're likely to...

Cannot beat this store for selection. You can rent and buy costumes and vintage clothes. Staff are helpful with an attitude (just stop being so needy and you'll get along fine). Was great for my Halloween costume but I think they are especially useful for the year-round occassions. Amazing 'vintage' accessories. Lots of costumes that do not make you look like a stripper (and many that do).
