"My wife and I recently hired costumes from here for a 1920’s themed birthday party"
"Your store was seriously the best retail experience I've had in my life and every single corner and walkway was an adventure! We set my son (11) up for a wonderful jump scare in the red light section with the box head woman & Pennywise"
"Cannot recommend Little Shop Of Horrors more!! Whether your a legit cosplay/makeup artist to the average person looking for a costume for a party, they literally have it all"
We went to the Little Shop of Horrors on Halloween Eve 2021 after ringing twice. On the first call, I was told they were set to shut at 10:00pm, and that if the store was quiet, they would be shutting early. The call was rushed along when I asked about range, and I was promptly told to come in and see for myself and the call ended. After ringing back, I finally got a chance to speak and tell the worker that I lived far from their shop and therefore wouldn't arrive until around 8:15pm. The employee then assured me that the store would be open to at least 8:30pm. After we managed to arrive early, around 7:45pm, we were curtly greeted and told to be quick as they were "shutting soon". We had a look around, all the while more customers were arriving. The staff still were unenthusiastic and complained overtly and repeatedly to one another about their fatigue and how they couldn't wait to close the shop. While looking at costumes, we were told multiple times not to touch the outfits, despite the racks being packed closely, and some costumes being crowded between others. The costume hire price was definitely higher than it was lower for most outfits. Consistently, the prices labelled were high enough that they seemed more suited to be an outright purchase price. The unobliging customer service made us feel unwelcome and rushed. Our overall experience was disappointing and subpar.
This place is beyond awesome! Even from the outside you can see all of the love, effort and time that has been put into this store. Walking inside each little department has their own sign and themed area decorated to match. If you love to dress up, or even if you're just a movie buff, you will not regret coming here! The staff are so wonderfully friendly and answered any questions I had. They were even decked out in their own costumes from the store since it was Halloween time. I hired one of their more expensive costumes (pictured) and not only did it fit super awesomely, it came with everything! (styled wig, bouquet, veil and gloves) I honestly would've just been happy paying the hire price for the dress, especially with the wonderful condition it's in! And the quality! I sincerely cannot recommend this place enough and will be coming here for years to come
My wife and I recently hired costumes from here for a 1920’s themed birthday party. We were both blown away by the excellent customer service from the owners. From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted with an exceptional experience. They took the time to sit down with us and understand our requirements and guide us through to help find great costumes that were of excellent quality and authentic. We loved how the shop is set up with themed rooms. The Great Gatsby room provided the perfect atmosphere to get us into the vibe of the 20’s. It is all about attention to detail with the lovely owners and they certainly live up to that, making sure we were equiped with not only great costumes but the perfect accessories to match. I might add that my wife looked stunning in her outfit too. Thanks ladies and keep up the fantastic work.
Your store was seriously the best retail experience I've had in my life and every single corner and walkway was an adventure! We set my son (11) up for a wonderful jump scare in the red light section with the box head woman & Pennywise. Not only was everything in store just amazing and so well planned out but every single staff member was absolutely amazing. Everyone was super friendly & engaging but also just allowed us to enjoy the experience of your store without pressure Thank you for creating such an amazing experience from the greeting at the door to the moment we left. We'll certainly be making trips out specifically to visit your store in the future as a couple of "eldar goths" who got to transport ourselves into kidult mode immediately! Thanks so much for what you guys have created, our son had so much fun!
Cannot recommend Little Shop Of Horrors more!! Whether your a legit cosplay/makeup artist to the average person looking for a costume for a party, they literally have it all. As someone who does cosplay/SFXmakeup regularly the staff have been SO damn helpful in helping me bring my creations to life! The store itself is also an experience with different themed rooms that you can't help but leave inspired! 10/10 recommend to anyone; both the hardcore cosplayers/makeup artists to someone just wanting an amazing fit for a costume party/halloween! <3 Photos below: wigs, costumes and makeup all from Little Shop Of Horrors (i.e. 2021 Halloween would not have been a success without their help - big love)
I was just meant to be a silent tagalong while my wife & daughter shopped for Halloween but boy oh boy was I blown away by this small business. While this gem of a store has one of the best and broad ranges of all things spook & costume, it's the store experience that had me from the onset. Like its own little ghost & ghoul tour with nooks and crannies to take you on an adventure that has you wondering if you'll ever make it out, or want to! On top of the great experience, the two lovely owners are only too eager to help or stand back to let you browse. Perfection. Absolute perfection. Well done on an absolute cracker of a store! Can't wait to come back and become a regular.
Had my daughter and her friends do a Harry potter/wizard workshop with these guys. Amazing. Kids were so engaged and had a ball. They were so good with the kids. Also, there shop is something to behold. The pride,passion and detail that has been put into it is evident. They have anything and everything from costumes to pop culture/movie products and even the macabre. We go there every Halloween also as it is an experience in itself. A one stop shop for any costume party needs,only stocking genuine top of the range products. A massive thanks to the girls for making my daughters birthday one to remember.
I walked in and I was blown away with my experience! It definitely brought back great memories of my childhood, it was a labyrinth of all things fantasy, everywhere you turn is a passage to a different experience. You do this while you shop, the idea they have come up with is so unique and simply amazing! In all my amazement the service they provided was second to none, they were exceptional and assisted me outside of their regular trading hours! Thank you both so much, I'm eagerly waiting on my return! PS, If you have children, you must bring them with you as they cater for all age groups!
Hey guys thank you so much for all your help getting our amazing outfits together. I was absolutely dreading trying to get together an 80’s outfit but you made it so easy. The online catalogue made it easy to see what we were getting and the ability to try it on and have it fitted properly topped off the whole experience. We had so many positive comments during the night and people asking where we got them from. We will definitely be returning, the shop has inspired me for my own themed party coming up and the customer service was spot on. Thanks again Cass and Alex
Do yourself a favour and come and see this amazing store. I have never seen such a massive range of costumes. The costumes are completely different to any other regular store it will blow your mind. And everyone who works there are so accommodating between Louise, Alisha, Amy and their salon manager Christian they will not only make the experience fun and enjoyable but they will completely transform you. I would like to personally thank them for making our wedding party fun. Thanks guys you are fantastic!!!!!
The most amazing shop - it’s like walking into a movie set!!!! Whether you want costume hire or purchase, pop vinyl, face make-up for costumes or coloured contact lenses. They have themes rooms, which the owners have built themselves. The horror room is completely cool as is the Harry Potter room. They also do kids parties and wand or potion making sessions in the holidays for kids. The sisters who own the store and completely legends and deserve an award for the amazing store they have built!
What an amazing "not so little" store! An amazing shop fit with so many intricate details to browse through. The costume range is the largest I've seen. We brought our son here for their Harry Potter Experience and he absolutely loved it. It was a one on one session with a lovely girl who answered all his questions and reassured him that his Mandrake wouldn't scream when he pulled it from the soil. Not just costumes, with make up studios and other activities. Well worth a look.
Definitely worth the visit! We came just after halloween so they were pretty cleared out, will come back again not directly after halloween. They have a range of awesome movie posters that I havent found anywhere else and some stuff from Wickity Wack too which was cool. The Little Shop of Horrors mural on the store front is enough to visit anyway, that is really amazing! I only wish they had some little shop of horrors things for sale, share they don't.
My partner and I are so in love with this place, every time we go there (which is a lot) is like seeing it again for the first time. The ladies here were so incredible in helping me set up a Tommy Shelby and Grace surprise photo shoot for my partner and it was the most special and incredible experience. We could not recommend this shop enough, the ladies are so accommodating, helpful and bring such an amazing atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back!
Literally the best place I have ever visited! Not only is the customer service amazing and staff are so friendly, they are so understanding and helpful. The shop is unique, fabulous and so beautiful. Both the ladies there that assisted me with my consultation went above and beyond to help me feel beautiful and comfortable and confident. 10/10 absolutely love this place. Thank you so much ladies ❤️ - from one very happy customer
I LOVE THIS SHOP. I needed to hire some costumes for a short film I was making, they were so helpful and had so much variety to choose from. This place is seriously fun to explore, and isn't just a tired old costume shop - but a vibrant place with genuinely passionate owners. They also sold all the little accessories I needed as well. Can't wait to have an excuse to go back. Highly recommended!
The customer service is absolutely amazing. I made two seperate orders online mainly due to indecision, so paid for postage on each order. When I received the order I was absolutely surprised to find the team had sent me a complimentary gremlins pin (for context I was buying gremlins products). That was very kind of you, unexpected and I absolutely love it! Would highly recommend.
Huge selection of costumes for adults and kids. There is the option to rent genuine, retro items from eras such as 70s and 80s plus have your hair and makeup done too. The shop is decorated like you want a horror shop to look like and is all the more horrific during the Halloween season. Lovely shop staff, too, who was happy to help us find what we needed and offered suggestions.
I wouldn't normally make the effort to rate a costume shop on Google, but this place is extra special and it deserves a shout out. Well done ladies, the shop is amazing with very professional service too. Great recommendations and service to go with an incredible selection of costumes. Best costume store I've ever been to (admittedly I've not been to many, but still...).
A visit to The Little Shop of Horrors Costumery is a must. Like entering another world or perhaps the costume department of a movie set, you'll be in awe of the magnificent collection of costumery here. Whether you're after a costume for book week, a dress-up party or that special piece for Oz Comic-Con then put The Little Shop of Horrors Costumery on your radar.
The store is so well constructed and designed, there for all your costume needs. Merely walking around was entertaining, the staff were so sweet and there was so much to look at. I purchased one of the lace front wigs and oh my! The quality is impeccable, the colour range is to die for and they are 100% the perfect wigs for any budding drag queen like me.
The BEST IN THE BIZZ The best quality costumes, collectables, services, products and SERVICE. Visiting this store is a one-off experience that you will not find anywhere else in Australia. Every single corner is magical - from fairy tale, horror, superheroes, Hollywood glamour, magic, movie themes and more. Absolutely incredible and will always recommend!
My family were driving through the Mornington area when we spotted this little gem. We immediately turned around and went inside. Our son was a little freaked out, but still enjoyed himself. My partner and i felt right at home. What a gorgeous little shop this is. The owner was so lovely, she made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!
The most magical wonderland to explore, with attention to detail at an insane level with something new everywhere you look. Not only a massive amount of options and diversity in costumes with very clear and easy to define sections but reasonable pricing. Extremely lovely staff! Very excited to go back to do one of the Hogwarts experiences
Louise provided us with amazing service and costumes! We won the couples contest from a crowd of over 250 people. They have a huge range, an incredible shop fitout, and are genuinely excited to create a costume to suit your style and purposes. Can not recommend Little Shop of Horrors highly enough. Thanks for an incredible experience.
My boys had the BEST time doing to Harry Potter potions class on the weekend! I know its a memory they'll treasure forever. There was so much amazing detail and the Hogwarts prefect that took our class was perfection. My boys asked her so many questions and she had an answer for everything they asked! Loved it SO much, we'll be back!
Very weird experience! We walked in on the weekend, wanting to look around, very excited for an upcoming party, and were abruptly greeted and told we would have to book and come back another time. We were talked at instead of to. I understand they may have been busy doing a photo shoot but it definitely left us feeling a little sad.
This place is pretty magical and impressive! The range and the care taken into making the shop an experience is very cool. I went in to look at lacefront wigs and while one lady was very lovely and helpful the other was very rude and abrupt, so much so that it really put me off. The wigs were also not the best quality for the price.
My go to shop for costumes and magic. Harry potter visits... quirky gifts... love love love it. When kids have earned a treat I often throw them in the car and head over there. We never come out empty handed. The girls are amazing and helpful and absolutely phenomenal at their craft. I'm treating myself to a 50th photoshoot.
We can’t thank these lovely talented ladies enough. My niece had her 18th last weekend which was a Disney/ Marvel theme. The ladies at Little Shop of horrors were very helpful and respectful. The hard work that was done to transform my daughter into Emily from the corpse bride was outstanding, she looked amazing.
A wickedly funtastic experience, A1 costumes to hire or buy, the lovely ladies are always more then happy to help find the right costume with the option of adding finishing touches like wigs and make up! Also a visual experience with an ambience of stepping into the past and fantasy with each room you walk into!
Such a great place to visit, and find the perfect costume for any occasion! There’s so much to see in the shop itself, not to mention the online catalogue. The girls were amazing helping my daughter choose her costume at our initial appointment, and then getting her ready on the day of her event. Thank you!!
The best place for all your costume, wig & merchandise needs on the Mornington Peninsula. Even if you don’t need to buy anything it’s a great place to explore (although, how can you resist once you’re in there?). It often changes on the inside and you can tell they put a lot of love and care into the place.
Absolutely wonderful. Came in yesterday to get some contact lenses and wig styling tips. I got what i needed, plus some recommendations for products to use! The staff were incredibly kind, the atmosphere of the store was cozy and magical, and i’m definitely coming back for all my costume needs!
Absolutely fell in love with this place the moment I stepped in! Helped myself and my friend with last minute outfits for an event and I’m about to reuse you guys for my Halloween party! Super helpful and friendly staff and the amount of effort gone into this store shows …
What a shop that I had no idea of living in mornington a little bit of local area marketing and I'd almost charge entry to look at this magnificent shop. Staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic. I will definitely visit again and get my costumes from here
This is an amazing costume/make up/gift and fantasy shop. Alicia and Louise know their business and take the time and make the effort to make your experience and coming event full of fun. Very professional and helpful. Keep up the great work girls.
This place is full of wonder. The girls who have created this little haven on the Mornington Peninsula really have something special. The attention to detail in the artwork, costumes, accessories, etc is something out of this world. This is
This shop is INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!! As someone who seriously hates shopping, if all shops were as passionately visual and themed, and well serviced as this, life and shopping would be such a joy! It’s as much an experience and fun museum, as
OMG These girls have got it going on !!!! From the moment I walked into the place, they said Babe We've got you !!! And it couldn't have been more true. Three amazing women, Alicia, Louise and Maddie what can I say. The quality of service
I dont get down here very often, but each time I do, this store has even more amazing items to offer. The shop is clearly run with passion and a love of all things 'Costume'. The staff are so helpful and creative - something i am not - so
Passion,love,dedication and 100% hard work this is a small business that goes above and beyond for you when u walk in their door, you are never just a customer u are made to feel a very big part of their world and how can you not get
This is the place to be if you need a costume for any event! They have a large range covering every age. Louise was super helpful in assisting us to pick out what would work! Thank you team, great service and we will be back! 5 stars!
These guys are amazing, they are extremely knowledgeable and super lovely, friendly, personable customer service. You can see the dedication they have in the way the shop is presented. Definitely a go to place for your costume needs.
I love this shop! The staff is incredibly helpful and I always have a great experience when I’m store. The abundance of products to choose from and the attention to detail in the costumes is impeccable! recommend to anyone! …
We had a fabulous time choosing our costumes with the girls help, we would have loved to have stayed and played in the store all day. It was like a party before the party. We loved our Skellington and Sally Skellington costumes.
Absolutely fantastic.. family business run by two sisters… we didn’t know what we wanted they we so patient with us .. do your self a favour people by far the best fancy dress l have ever been to … Thanks so much girls x
Booked my 5 year old daughter in for the Harry Potter classes (potions, wand making and mandrake potting). She is a die-hard fan and had such an awesome time. It was so well run and would definitely recommend!
Fantastic place. Currently has a great set up for Halloween!! Great selection of costumes and pop vinyls. Definitely a place to go for costumes if you have a party coming up or for Halloween. Lovely staff too!
This shop is an EXPERIENCE! Not just Costumes as I expected... but knick knacks, gifts, decor... And friendly staff to boot! Praying for someone to throw a costume party so I have an excuse to come back
Absolute gem of a place. You will immediately feel enchanted the moment you step foot in here. Fantastic collection of Halloween items, Harry Potter memorabilia and Fantasy costumes. Staff are friendly too.
Great range of costumes but the store it's self is amazing. It was so fun to have a wonder through. We never bought anything but I feel like we missed out on a lot of costumes by visiting on Halloween day.
Thank you so much Little Shop of Horrors! I had such a wonderful experience finding an outfit for a Harry Potter themed party. It was very professional and most importantly fun. I felt like a kid again
Service is 10/10. Felt very comfortable asking for stuff to see, the girls where very helpful into putting my costume together, very happy with final result. Will come back 100% for my next event.
Great care taken, and much patience with an ‘undecided’ patron me .. just the right costume in the end. Thanks for persevering, and attention to detail. Had a great night. Absolute Professionals!
Alisha is an absolute legend. She went above and beyond to help me find my costume for a 1920s party. You can tell the love she has for her job as she is very very knowledgeable and passionate.
This place has certainly changed. Long gone are the dingy shelves of dated costumes. The staff are helpful friendly and genuinely wish to maximize your experience. Thank goodness.
Fantastic service from Little Shop of Horrors. Louise did our make-up and costumes - we felt and look amazing. Valak ‘The Nun’ and Pennywise. Of course Pennywise won best dressed.
Love, love, love this shop! We all need a bit of theatre in our lives and this is the spot to embrace it. Costumes & makeup artists worthy of Hollywood. Always a fun experience.
Love the variety of items within the store. A lot of time and care has gone into setting up this shop. If you’re a lover of all things Halloween, then this is the shop for you.
Absolutely love this place. Definitely the place to go for any costumes and accessories - their range is phenomenal and their current Halloween pieces are fantastic.
Can’t believe my eyes wow wow wow, you need to get up from where you are and visit and support this store. Costumes , collectables so much to buy and see.
This place is incredible! The wonderful staff have done such an amazing job. I recently hired a bell costume and it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you!!!
We purchased and had a wig styled by Littles Shop of Horrors. It was amazing! Thanks so much for that and also thanks for the great service!
I love this place the lady who served my mum and I was so lovely so welcoming there as well i would 100% be going back there
