Best costume shops in Singapore to be dressed to the nines

Whether you’re dressing up for Halloween, attending a themed party or preparing for an event, finding the right costume can make all the difference. From classic witches and vampires to superheroes, anime characters and other elaborate outfits, Singapore has several costume shops catering to such occasions.

Do note that because many of these stores offer such a plethora of costumes in their inventory, prices vary by age and design. It is best to contact them for further information on exact pricing and details. For you to look and feel good, here are 10 best costume shops in Singapore so you’ll be dressed to the nines.

How I chose these best costume shops in Singapore

These are the 3 main criteria I used to decide which costume store to recommend:

• Variety: The stores on this list offer a large range of costumes.
• Wide price range: From more affordable accessories to full-on costumes, you can pick what best suits your budget.
• Accessibility: I included physical shops, physical shops with online shopping, and an online retailer for your convenience.

1. Costumes ‘N’ Parties

Costumes ‘N’ Parties is Singapore’s largest costume rental and cosplay shop, which means there is a high chance that you can find any costume your heart desires. Located at Havelock II, the store has over 25 years of experience in the costume business. The store offers over 20,000 outfits and accessories, such as wigs across different themes. Some themes you can expect are 1960s – 1970s, Halloween, Christmas, mascot costumes and more. There are even pet costumes for your furry companion to join in the fun. 

What I like most is that both individual accessories and complete outfits are available for purchase here. This works especially well when you already have some parts of the costume at home, and just need that cherry on top to finish the look. Alternatively, you can also get a more elaborate, complete outfit if you wish — the possibilities are endless! Besides physical retail and rental, the store also offers online shopping and rental. Do note that prices vary between rental and sale;  it’s best to enquire with the store for specific details.

2. Ministry of Costumes

The Ministry of Costumes was established in 2016, with the goal of creating an authentic family orientated costume shop in Singapore. The store is tucked away on Henderson Road and boasts 30,000 costumes for all ages and occasions, with both sale and rental options. Be it celebrations, company events or themed parties — you can find what you need here. On the off chance that you don’t, their website states, “we will go out of our way to source it for you”, such great service. 

Some themes you can expect out of their 30,000 outfits are superheroes, pirates and Christmas. There are also masks and props available to further complement your costume. Do note that the store operates by appointment only to provide the most personalised service. The premises are also shared with another costume store. Be sure to contact them before visiting to book an appointment; this also gives you a chance to enquire about prices before committing.

As the store operates by appointment only, remember to contact the team to arrange one before visiting.

9. DAISO

On a budget but still want to be dressed to theme? DAISO is here for you. The Japanese variety store carries a wide range of everyday essentials, stationery, craft materials and seasonal items for S$2.18. In this economy, it’s simply unbeatable pricing. Although their props and costume selections are not as extensive as that of a dedicated costume store, you can still find useful bits and pieces to create your own outfit. 

Depending on the store’s current stock, look out for items such as masks, decorative props, hair accessories and face paint. There are even accessories for your pets, like jerseys. Do note that since product availability varies between outlets and seasons, you may need to visit more than one branch if you’re searching for a specific item. Luckily, DAISO has multiple outlets across Singapore, so it should be fairly easy to pop into a store while out and about.

10. Funidelia (online only)

If you’re a busy bee who can’t find time to visit stores or prefer online shopping, check out Funidelia. Founded in 2011, the international online retailer specialises in costumes, licensed merchandise and party supplies. With a catalogue spanning thousands of products, they develop exclusive patterns and in-house collections. Their selection includes outfits for adults, children and even babies, with themes ranging from superheroes, animals and popular film franchises like Harry Potter and Star Wars. 

Aside from full costumes, there are also accessories such as wigs, masks, hats, capes, makeup and prosthetics for you to purchase. As Funidelia operates online, you can browse through their website and compare designs from home before placing an order. Shipping starts from S$9.99, which is a steal, in my opinion.
