Return Policy



Most items we sell are backed by our No hassle return guarantee. Other costume retailers will tell you that all sales are final, whereas almost every item we carry falls under our 14 Day Return Policy.

Please note: costume styles are subject to change without notice, due to the manufacturer’s production. These changes, no matter how slight, are beyond our control. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The Manufacturers do not always notify us of these variations. We will reflect any changes to the costumes in the website descriptions and images as soon as we become aware of them. Thank you for your understanding with this issue.
