Muses inhabit the
Costume Salon
Remember those old 1940's movies where the leading lady went to buy a new gown or hat? She would walk into a chic little store where the owner of the store would escort her to an elegant sofa and serve her tea. The owner would inquire as to what type of gown the lady wished and moments later, a couple of beautiful models would appear wearing the perfect dress.

Each piece is carefully selected and displayed for the lady. She does not have to fight with hangers jammed on a rack. No frustration, no confusion. Unlike most shopping experiences we all have today, the ladies of those grand old movies were treated to an elegant shopping experience. Attentive sales people expressed genuine interest in their preferences, and conducted themselves with style and grace. Each garment chosen for them was special.

Costume Salon
Those little couture shops were called salons and individualized service was the rule, not the exception. Good service is practically unheard of today, and attention to the needs of each customer is almost non-existent.

At costumesalon.com, each customer is unique. We believe shopping or renting online should be a pleasant, fun experience where you feel pampered and special. We take as much care with the details as if you were standing in our workshop. And we don't disappear once your rental costume is shipped.

When you try on your costume and look in the mirror, you will see magic. We love what we do and we have a great deal of fun. Reliable and impeccable service is primary. Welcome to costumesalon.com.
