Review: Wholesale Halloween Costumes



Pros: Good service, nice quality costume, good value, timely delivery.

Cons: The costume size was a little big but still looked awesome for the occasion!

Summary: If you are looking for nice quality costumes in any size with lots of accessories to choose from, check out Wholesale Halloween Costumes!


Review:
 A 6th grade history presentation and costume party created a perfect opportunity to try a costume from Wholesale Halloween Costumes. K chose to be Samuel Adams for his big "history live" project performed in front of teachers, friends and family. The "Founding Father's" costume was an excellent choice!
The costume was a nice quality material that although it arrived a little on the wrinkly side, seemed to smooth out well after hanging on a hanger for a bit. K is currently wearing about a youth size 16, so I ordered an adult (one size fits all) costume thinking it may fit better than a child size. It was a little on the big side, but still looked sharp and appropriate for the occasion. We were very pleased with the timeliness of the arrival. We added a lace collar and boots to complete the look. It would have been fun if we had added a white wig as well. This costume would look great as many other colonial historical figures like Benjamen Franklin, George Washington, or any character with a patriotic theme.

Over all we loved this costume!

Review: Knight Costumes

Pros: Good service, nice quality costume, good value.

Cons:  The helmet seems to run slightly small compared with costume, but still works.

Review:
For school, my son K had to give a "history live" presentation in costume as "King Richard the Lionhearted".  After researching what King Richard wore, he chose the "Deluxe Dragon Slayer" knight Costume to do his presentation in. Truthfully, he wasn't really a knight...but he was a medieval warrior and this seemed like a great match for the part.

I am always amazed at how small they are able to package these costumes! It arrived in a small package, but came out looking great without any ironing or effort. The costume seems well made and includes everything pictured except for the black pants. K was impressed at the shiny silver fabric part of the costume that looks like chain mail.  The body of costume seems true to the sizing chart offered on the website.  The helmet however seemed a little snug although workable (your experience may be different due to variations in head sizes! :)

So if you would like to be a dragon slayer, or King Richard...I would recommend this as a great option! :)

Review: Superman Costumes at Costume Discounters






Pros: Fast service, nice quality costume, true to size, good value.

Cons:  This costume is so neat that now the little brother wants one too! :)

Review:
My son chose this costume because his little sister begged him to; she wants him to wear it when she wears her Supergirl costume!  What a good big brother he is!

Our Deluxe Light-Up Superman costume came in the mail today, only three business days after we ordered it from Costume Discounters! Although the package was very small and light-weight, the costume seems very well made.  This Man of Steel costume includes the one piece body suit (including huge muscles) and a detachable cape.  The Superman emblem on the front of the costume lights up, which my kids thought was really cool! :)

The length and fit of the costume seemed true to the sizing chart offered on the site.  Since K usually wears slims, the costume fits over clothes, which is better on a cool fall day anyway. 

Another great feature about this company: Costume Discounters guarantees the lowest price on the web, or they will match the price and also give you 20% off. They also offer free shipping on exchanges, allowing you to try their costumes risk free!
