Returns Policy

We do not presume the sale is complete unless you are completely satisfied

We have the advantage over pure online shops as we understand customer needs and know what type of costume will fit them. This is much harder over the internet as you cannot see or touch the article. We have to be your eyes. The costumes are taken from their packaging so we are able to check the quality of the costume. Costumes that do not come up to standard are removed from stock.

Our trained staff, all of whom work in the fancy dress shop, will be happy to double check measurements if you want them to. We would much rather spend some time with you establishing that the item is what you need than have it returned at a later date. Do not hesitate to call on 01245 327156. or
