Pan-in-a-box
While this costume store is a regular haunt amongst the Cosplay community, don’t dismiss it just yet. Pan-in-a-box has got heaps of costumes for Halloweeners, ranging from faux scars and prosthetic noses to mock creepy clown masks and the classic Scream villain costume. Or if you’re going for something a little more unconventional, don’t forget the wigs section – there’s everything from neon orange ‘dos to choppy blonde bobs.

JCM Costume Rental
Here, it’s either go big or go home. We say skip the superhero costumes and head straight for what JCM does best: sparkly and shiny cabaret costumes, complete with feather boas and headdresses that’ll make any showgirl proud. Psst… we also spy heritage costumes (Samsui Woman, Ma Jie and even a Satay uncle) from Singapore’s olden days if you’re keen on doing a throwback ensemble.

Customade Costumes and Merchandise
No such luck at finding the right costume? Leave it up to Customade Costumes and Merchandise (CCM) to have a killer outfit made-to-measure or have some minor work done to a throwback piece. If you prefer renting rather than splashing cash on a new onesie, pop by this costume store and trawl the shelves yourself for the next best thing.

Costume City
Ever wanted to be part of the Avengers? Now’s your chance.

Lips Enterprise
We’d be surprised if you haven’t heard this one. Located at Far East Plaza’s top floor, Lips Enterprise is a gem of a costume store. Although it’s modestly shabby and charmingly cramped, the beauty in this decades-old store is the surprise factor: endless racks of quirky ensembles and props line its walls, so if you still haven’t decided on your Halloween costume this year, we strongly suggest popping in. We promise you’ll either leave with a brilliant costume or newfound inspiration for a dazzling DIY ensemble.
