A local gem, Marlu Costumes is an established costumer that carries theatrical-grade garb at very reasonable prices. Their selection is vast and eclectic, and the proprietors are very knowledgeable and adept at helping you find the right look. I'm a pretty big and tall fellow, and they kitted me out with a stunning minstrel costume in minutes even doing minor alterations on the spot. For Halloween, Renn Faires, or just plain happy costume parties, Marlu should be your first (and probably final) stop.
I have walked into this place a few years ago, and it was costume heaven. So it was my first pick for a small project I was working on. But after calls and calls and leaving messages as well as emails. There was no response. It makes it clear that they are by appointment only but I guess I can't make an appointment or have simple questions answered. That being said I'm not actually sure if the place is open for business. Unfortunately I had go down a different route, if I'm ever in need again, I will try this place again and hopefully I can change this review.
The owners were wonderful. They give you personal help and very good helping you get a costume!
This is as complete a costume rental warehouse as it gets. Their collection is extensive and covers just about any look you're trying to accomplish. It is extremely well-organized by category and the owners know exactly what they have and where everything is. I rented an outfit consisting of tuxedo tails, pants, shirt, vest, bow tie, and pocket handkerchief. The vest, tie, and handkerchief all matched. The owner was expert at finding my sizes. The rental fee was very reasonable.
Marlu is awesome!! John and Hazel the owners are Amazing and Kim the seamstress is extremely helpful locating costumes and figuring out alterations** great for Halloween costumes or anytime costumes!! 🤩
