Editorial Review for Boston Costume – by Jillian Dudek
The Scene
Die-hard Halloween enthusiasts will revel in the variety of costumes available at this boutique. You don't even have to arrive with an idea--just browse through Boston Costume's rental books, from masquerade to medieval, to creatures from space. Enormous fuzzy parade heads, like elephants and Tweety birds and Vegas-style headpieces border the walls--these are also rentable as complete outfits. The average rental fee is $85 and the store is flexible with time periods. Just pick up the costume a couple of days before you need it and return it promptly.
The Goods
Besides costumes, the store also carries a plethora of accessories: ripping and bleeding masks, extra-large mouse ears, grave-digger spades, jeweled daggers, bunny tails, grass skirts, gory body parts, black hairy hands.

The selection is very good and the customer service is friendly. I did not get anything there because the prices for rental were high. But other than that, they are not bad.

I walked into the store looking for a costume piece that I saw on their website. The one guy behind the counter was busy with other customers, so he told me to look at the costumes and wait. After about 10 minutes of boredom, and playing with costume accessories, he couldn't help me find the piece that was on the website. On top of that, he told me the inventory and the website probably do not match up. I went online and called the store with the code, they couldn't tell me if they had it or not. System is not well organized, and the pieces they had were either cheesy or overpriced, and sometimes both. The guy was nice, but they need to get more people working there.
