I love this costume shop so much!!!!! The best one in Brisbane!!!!! I’ve rented from here a couple of times now and the costumes are stunning and the service is 10/10, couldn’t be better! Our costumes for the medieval festival were beautiful and unique.

We hired costumes for both of my kids for Book Week and the whole process was so easy. … He was so lovely and accommodating and had absolutely no issue with us keeping the costume a little longer.

I was looking for a VERY LAST MINUTE costume for the Abbey Medieval Festival, I didn't expect much. However, the owner was fantastic! He was able to find something last minute AND NICE for me … The hiring and return process was really easy. I loved that accessories were included in the hire as well
★★★★★
What exceptional service! The staff here are extremely knowledgeable and have amazing people skills. My costume didn’t fit me properly so the lovely man altered it on the spot for me so it would fit! Great value for money too. Our Top Gun costumes were a hit. Thank you!

Was looking for a Roaring Twenties costume … We were warmly welcomed and given plenty of choices and suggestions. The clothes were of a great standard.... obvious care taken with them. Price was right as well. 10/10 all round.

The owner is very nice and will provide styling advice. Other shops charge close to $100 for a whole outfit, but this time I rented an outfit for less than $50, and it looked so good!

Hands down the one stop shop for any costume related needs ! … Customer Service is unmatched , range and quality is second to none and pricing will not break the bank. Close that Temu app and come get everything you need for your event at Janina’s

These guys were excellent this Halloween. Took the time to fit and explain the Scorpion costume I hired. Was affordable and reasonably priced. Would come back and hire again

I always get my costumes from Janina's Costumes. They have an incredible range even for us folks that are not in the usual sizing range. I greatly appreciate the personal care and creative ideas Ezra provides.
