Even though the calendar only reserves one day each for Mardi Gras and Halloween, Mardi Gras Costume Shop celebrates the holidays year-round. Specializing in theatre-quality costumes and accessories, the store fills its wardrobe with festive items ranging from petticoats and corsets to extravagant masks inspired by Italy's commedia dell'arte. Those looking to transform themselves for All Hallow's Eve can choose from a colorful gallery of characters not often found at other shops; selections run the gamut from animals to caricatures of politicians. No matter their needs, customers can always count on advice from the shop's well-trained, expert staff.
