Editorial Review for Pierre's Costumes – by Lauren McCutcheon

In Short
Pierre's brings a bright bit of old-fashioned fun to artsy Old City. The two-floor costume shop has clothed Philadelphia theater companies for decades. Now, Pierre's boasts more than a million "pieces" of rentable outfits, including giant chicken heads, astronaut suits, beauty-queen gowns and more house-made outfits from almost every time period in history. Rental prices range between $55 and $125 and require a depsit.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I had been asked to attended a charity event for my local hospital for individuals that had been hospitalized here before Christmas. I had order a Mrs. Claus costume from another company originally and they could not even find my order the Monday that I called them, so I called back on Tuesday and told the company not to even bother sending the costume because I could not wait for them and I had to go to another company for the suit. I needed the costume quickly and ended up ordering from Pierre's on Monday (I found the website by accident) The costume was a little pricey, but for the quality, service and my costume arrived undamaged and earlier than I thought, I think it was worth it. I wil be coming back to the online website for my next costume and I am recommending the same to my family.

Pros: Excellent Service, Speedy Delivery, Excellent Quality

Cons: A little pricey

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

They have everything there. I had such a hard time making my mind up last Halloween. I have stopped in several times for fake blood, wigs, and funny props and novelties. They sell and rent costumes, but I like renting costumes because the quality is really high end. They treat you well and create the look around your comments. If you can't find it there, you probably wont find it.

Pros: service, selection, quality

Cons: hard to decide what t, addictive, your friends get jeal
