Whether you've just been hit with a dress-up party invite, are locking in your Oktoberfest getup or trying to sort out something last minute for Halloween, we've hunted down the best places to buy a costume in Perth/Boorloo.

At Urban List, we've got a whole separate level of respect reserved for the folks who go all out on costumes. So if you need some help lining up an extra special fit, check out the best costume shops in Perth and online. 

Hurly Burly

Perth CBD

Located in the heart of Perth CBD on Barrack Street, Hurly Burly stocks thousands of costumes, corsets, onesies and dress up accessories (yes, you do need the coloured wig) that'll take you straight to the top of the best dressed list. Be warned, this one often has lines around the block right before Halloween so don't leave it til the last minute.

Doyles Fancy Costumes

Wangara

"Clothes make a statement, costumes tell a story." That's the motto at Doyles. With over 300 square metres worth of fancy dress to choose from, you're sure to find something here that'll tell whatever story you're crafting. Open six days a week and late night Thursday, their friendly team can help you choose from over 1000 costumes for sale and thousands more for hire. 

Walk The Plank Costume Hire

East Victoria Park

Costume fanatic Jac owns and runs Walk The Plank with her daughter Victoria. Friendly and helpful service is the reason customers have walked the plank for 20 years. One of their favourite events on the social calendar is fast approaching—Halloween. Each year the shop is transformed into a spooky spectacular. 

Party Town

Claremont

Not only do they offer heaps of cool outfits, but Party Town also provides event planning to help you nail everything from your decorations, balloons, tableware and lolly bags. The costumes aren't for hire, but there are plenty to purchase and prices are surprisingly reasonable.

Costumes In The Valley

Midvale

Costumes in the Valley offers a fantastic range of masquerade & Halloween masks if that sort of thing tickles your fancy. You can find colourful and vibrant face paints, wigs, corsets, hosiery and hundreds of other party accessories in store.
