This shop is a York gem. If you need to buy any kind of fancy dress, please support this local business before you shop online! It's packed full of products of all types, the variety that they have is honestly impressive. Due to the small size of the store, it can get very busy around Halloween and before New Year- so it's best to shop ahead if you can.
