Review & Rating
They have a large variety of costumes and makeup and accessories but quite a few of the items are overpriced. If you shop around you can definitely get better deals elsewhere for some of the things. I do like the fact that they have a clearance section in the back but some of those costumes are missing accessories or slightly damaged.
Awesome the girls working there they helped me find everything I needed showed me other things I may be interested in. The only thing I could complain about is they ran out of santa bird color dye and since they specialize in all that they should have been prepared for the season. But other than than i would recommend them to everyone
Called and asked if they had theatrical quality Halloween costumes and was assured they did. Made the 50 minute trip up from St Augustine and was told "we don't carry licensed costumes".....not sure what that has anything to do with me needing a "high quality costume" for my event. The conversation turned to rentals....great I thought, here come the real costumes. The lady picked out 2 and both were no better quality than pajamas. I refuse to spend 150 dollars (plus another 150 deposit) to look like an adult in super hero pajamas. Disappointed
I visited just to buy a maid outfit. They didnt have one at the time. But the store had alot of really nice outfits and the staff was friendly.
Everyone was very nice and helpful. True service. If they didn't know the answer to my question, they made sure they found out before I left the store.
Great service and I was able to find all the peices I needed for my cos-play costume. Big plus... they are there year round (not just Halloween)
We'd come here for costume/makeup supplies, but when my daughter started dancing, this is where we came for shoes. When we started out, what I didn't know about dance would fill books. The kind ladies in the shoe department were able to guide us into what she needed. Every time we have purchased shoes, they have taken the time needed to get a good fit. We never felt rushed, or pressured to buy anything that wasn't just right. Occasionally, we've come in when selection was low (say, the last day of the annual, month-long shoe sale), but they've always been able to provide something that fit. Every time I go in, I check the tights, even if we're well stocked. They usually have some pretty deep discounts on discontinued colors/styles. (I once went home with 4 pair of tights for $10. That's pretty hard to beat!) Love this place. Recently went somewhere else for leotards because it was required by the school. That'st the LAST time I'll shop anywhere else. Make Believe is definitely where we will go from now on!
I could state what I witnessed in the store where the owner very rudely kicked someone out of the store, while another representative was very very rude while "assisting us." we'll never go back. I've noticed the owner likes to retaliate on negative posts also... so keep your eyes open for that. 👌
Place is bigger then you think. And has customer of all types for any season or event, including dance stuff to. Nice folks that work there.
We were looking for costumes for the mid 1800s for a church play. Catherine was an amazing help, she put together an awesome outfit and I have received many compliments on the suit. The store is incredible and if you need a costume, this is the place to go!
These people saved my daughters feet! Okay so note to self, there is value in getting a good pair of character shoes! Just because you have a pair of rockabilly shoes (from a chain shoe store) somewhere in the back of your closet, and they LOOK like what the play producer said you need, (because they have a strap that buckles) that does NOT make them true character shoes. Those are just shoes that have character! Retro off the rack is whack! Go to the place that specializes in outfitting performers. *If you need big, wide sizes, this is your place. The staff was quick, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I have been schooled! LOL
