Buying a Costume Online Needn't Be Scary

…not when you follow these simple steps!

Don't take for granted that costume size matches clothing size. (It varies widely by manufacturer.) Look beyond the numerical size for weight and height specifics. (We include this in the "Sizing" tab found at the bottom of each product webpage.)
Find out exactly what you're buying. Are the accessories included? What's the fabric content? Is it machine washable? (We try to give you as much detail as possible, but please contact us if you have questions.)
Know the cataloguer's return policy; they vary. (We try to give you as much time as possible and will accept costume returns postmarked before October 30.)
Last minute purchase? Be sure to check the shipping deadlines to avoid a Halloween nightmare!
Better yet, order early. No one knows what costumes will be the hot sellers any given year, and once they're gone, they're gone. So when you spot that perfect costume, order it. Once it arrives, inspect it, have your child try it on, and then tuck it away for the big day. Now you're ready!
