Piedmont Boutique

Place is great if you want cheap Amazon garbage that's 300% more expensive and will likely rip after you put it on. so sad to see so many five star reviews for people who "walked by and saw some funny legs" I removed a star to account for all of the fake reviews.

So sweet people that are working here! A huge variety of clothing and accessories, a lot of glitter and extravagant styles. They say nearly everything is made by themselves :)

A kitschy SF landmark and has a HUGE selection of fun festival attire! Must go if you’re getting ready for Burning Man. The staff were really friendly and helpful. They have some great deals too. My friend found an adorable furry tiger hat and vest and I got an amazing deal on sequin leopard pants and a swimsuit top for only $5!

Piedmont Boutique is the best! After finding the pictured fringe vest, I mentioned how much I’d love for it to be a set and a staff member offered to make custom pants for me! I got to pick the sizing, fit, pocket style, waistband, etc. After going there for to see the final product, I realized it didn’t fit how I wanted it to and they remade the pants in a new style for me for free! I have gotten tons of compliments because of their garment and I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase :)

I love to shop here. Fun and very unique & playful stuff. Very friendly staff. I always dropped by every time I visit San Francisco. My favorite is the HOT & SEXY MANNEQUIN LEGS, I LOVE IT! 💕

All three clothing articles I’ve bought from here that were handmade have become borderline unreliable and undesirable to wear. Especially when they’re priced at a ridiculous amount for “local” clothing, the cost vs quality do not align whatsoever ever. The hem of the fabric unraveled immediately after my first use of the one article, even before a first wash. The second, full of micro holes in the stretchy fabric (which were unnoticeable at time of purchase) that turned into major holes around the seams and areas of more stretching. Not to mention the clothes seem really dirty??? right of the rack? But “NO RETURNS” still persists. Perhaps no returns policy is in place to avoid all the unhappy local customers who are on the same page as me and can actually return to the store to make a valid complaint. Clothes I’ve bought from China and SHEIN have lasted longer than the disappointing articles from this store. The fact I had to hand over these clothes to a family member to fix is enough to know that the quality of items isn’t even an afterthought. Even with the sale prices, these clothes are not even worth half of what I paid for, handmade or not. I won’t even dare to try to suggest for a refund as I’ve seen the owner and staff throw a fit over people who are simply asking for what’s deserved. I also don’t want to be in the position to be scolded with no true rhyme or reason if I dared to return to make these claims myself. I don’t deserve that either. The unrelenting, revolting response from the business handling disfunction of any kind would keep even the most strong worded people from attempting to reason with this store. To add insult to injury, a lot of their items that they don’t produce are drop shipped and marked up. You can easily find them on Amazon for a cheaper price. Don’t let the glitz and glam get you, it’s fools gold. Plenty of other stores around will have what you’re looking for, without the fuss. What a shame, wish I could support a local business like this if they actually did something worthwhile.

SF landmark had new year sales every year on my birthday my favorite shop for fun clothing & accessories. Staff is great & I loved the owners there SF landmarks please shop there help saved our special stores on Haight street in SF.

I didn't actually go into the boutique. The neighborhood was a bit much for me. Lots of drug users and weirdos. I did however find a nice vegan restaurant a few doors down from the boutique.

Needed a last minute wig for a 70s party and it was a great excuse to get to the Piedmont Boutique where Dottie and Donna quickl It was fantastic and a great place for all your costume party, Halloween or 70's theme needs! Of course this place is iconic and unique and deserves nothing but a big thumbs up!

Piedmont Boutique is the best! After finding the super rad 80's-couch-vibe fringe vest in the attached picture, I mentioned how much l'd love for it to be a set with matching pants. A staff member immediately offered to make custom pants out of the same rare fabric! I got to pick the sizing, fit, pocket style, waistband, etc. After going there for to see the final product, I realized it didn't fit how I wanted it to and they remade the pants in a new style for me for free! I have gotten tons of compliments because of their garment and I couldn't be happier with my purchase :)

This is the best drag boutique in the entire bay area. They make custom costumes and pieces for drag ,dance performance ,burning Man, festivals, and street fairs. You will find one-of-a-kind, unique items here that you will not be able to get anywhere else. The couple that runs the shop is a very charming couple who have been doing costumes for San Francisco for over 40 years. You must hit the shop if you want unique garments for parties. Thank you.

Family-owned, super fun store that survived the extended pandemic lockdowns in San Francisco. One stop shop for costumes!

Not sure the exact category of clothing store but it's fun, party attire. Was recommended this place by another store on the street for having lots of different options. The store didn't disappoint. They've got all kinds of fun clothing, accessories that are flashy and creative. Wanted a mesh crop top for a themed party and they had what we wanted but in the wrong color/or not crop top. Come to learn they can custom make clothes for you and turn it around in a week. Was able to get the cut and color we wanted. Staff is extremely friendly too.

I can't even explain to you this place, you just really need to see their fabrics. Everything is really unusual, there are blazers and tops and pants here that you will not see anywhere else. Tons of XL and 2XL sizes which I really appreciate.

I love this store so much. Sparkly, crazy, colorful clothes & jewelry for inexpensive prices!

After spending $105 on a basic set of clothing for a festival, you would expect for it to at least come clean. Went home and found these brown stains. Would not recommend. I wish I didn't live on the other side of the country so I could get a refund. Everything is overpriced.

One of the most important shops that still exists in Upper Haight. Just look for the legs! The owners are kind and beautiful souls. The earring selection has been amazing since the 80s. Good prices, wonderful selection, and worth a stop if you are visiting Haight!

How fun are these hats!! I also got the bling heart glasses and the disco ball earrings! Great shop!

This was my third time shopping here it's all super cute. But the quality is poor. They sold me a pair of shorts that we're supposed to be a Medium men's & they were were too tiny for even the skinniest of my friends until a petite size 0 female put them on. That was supposed to be a thank you gift for a guy I was staying with- $50 waste! Then this final time I bought this cute romper ($54 - 20%) made of a soft cotton 80's fabric. I try it on again to find that it's got a hole in it & the crotch is pilled like it's been worn. I called them as they don't do returns or refunds & they continued with that policy... Well, as the customer I can't afford to buy stuff that is so off base. Buyer beware!

Got my entire Halloween costume here. They were very helpful and the items are so fun!

I have been going to piedmont boutique for many years. This time they went above and beyond ultimate customer satisfaction. They made me three custom bathing suits repaired some jewelry and sold me some jewelry. Many thanks to Z, Dottie & Uti. And custom made masks

HORRIBLE customer service. Called about a product that was messed up and they told me to come in. Came in and they were incredibly rude, disrespectful refusing to do a return or exchange and told me to "screw off" as I left. The ancient couple that runs this place needs to retire! Do not shop here.

When I tell you i spend 15 mins looking at earnings because I can't get enough of them the staff is so nice and I wish their clothes could fit me I got big boobs and wide hips but their glitter and earring I'm a whore for that I got this rojo puta lipstick and I'm a bad bitch I turn into a whole different person when I'm about to get down on sexy time for my mans

I bought a pair of gloves there for $15 and when I got home and opened the package there was only one. Called them about the gloves they told me to come in. I couldn't come in so I sent my partner. Old hag behind the counter wouldn't let my partner get the new gloves for me or get my money back. They had the receipt of my purchase but apparently it wasn't enough proof that I bought them there. Also wanted to note she continued to call me my partners "friend". They yelled at my partner saying it was our fault the glove was missing. They proceeded to speak very rude to my partner making them cry. As my partner left they told them to "screw off". I am never shopping there again. I hope to see them loose their business in the near future.

Super fun and funky clothes, hats, jewelry and more. They made a custom hat for my child who has never had a hat fit him besides a beanie. Really fun shop and kind people.

Really sparkly shop. A little bit expensive. If you are looking for something flashy and glittery it's the perfect place for you !

Piedmont Boutique is the most amazing spot for out of this world costumes! The owners are friendly and the staff is beyond helpful. This is the perfect spot for some burning man costumes. Everything is custom!

So the inner store had "no photos" signs all over - I'd improperly taken one that I'll keep to myself out of respect. In my last review, I'd mentioned a certain reversible flip sequin that the shop owner declined to touch for fear it would "break our needles." I've since learned to sew with it myself. And today, I spotted half a rack at Piedmont Boutique of suit blazers in the sequin, along with a number of backpacks. Um - told you so, Piedmont, but don't be mad at me for saying it, because I still love you. My previous critiques of the store hold a little true still: their patternmaking & aesthetic could be updated a touch. But I'm always gaga about so much in one store that's bright and shiny and deftly constructed. Piedmont has all this going on, even if I wish it were cheaper. But as my own custom seamstress now - I can tell you the prices aren't that bad. (This weekend they had 20 percent off, too.) I keep getting cheap accessories from this place, but I still want to pick up some custom shiny just to say I have it from them. I do recommend you stop in if you haven't.

I grew up in San Francisco. every time anyone was wearing cool earrings, there was no need to ask where they were from. we all knew they were from piedmont. Recently, my college friends came and visited me in SF, and I brought them to piedmont. they all bought something. it's a fun store, with something for everyone.

Quite a fun shop to get costumey and party attire! The people who work here are friendly (maybe a little pushy sometimes) and very cheery. I don't think I could ever spend TOO much time in this shop because it's full of treasures!

Amazing selection of pieces and super happy with what I picked out! I wish I asked for her name because the person that helped me was great! I appreciated the wonderful staff that was helped make my order in store and even when I called about pick up!

Person who helped me got the assignment and brought me great things to try and later for accessories. Huge selection

This is my go-to store for any fun event. It's saved me many a time for Halloween, Bay to Breakers, and Burning Man. Great selection of furry stuff, boas, sunglasses, boots, earrings, tutus, and the list goes on and on. Prices are on the steep side, but not outrageous. I just love that I can count on finding everything I need here when shopping last minute for an event. Much better selection than Costumes on Haight!

The best one-stop-shop for costuming! I came here for Halloween, the Friday before, and found all the perfect things for my Babadook costume; creepy demon white contacts, 18$ top-hat (in a 30 dollar top-hat world), a great selection of clothing items and pretty nice service. The wigs aren't the cheapest though... definitely go to Costuming on Haight for wigs and quality cosmetics.

. So......someone near and dear to me was visiting me not that long ago. Aaaaaaaaand she was looking for some "fun" boudoir outfits to take things up a notch. So....obviously - when you want fun dress-up clothes, sexy tights, and stripper-ish attire - you head to Piedmont Boutique. No brainer really. Personally I can't handle that much neon and spandex. It makes my nose scrunch up and my head hurt. But this particular someone was VERY excited about all of the ruffled underwear, corsets, and hot pink thigh-highs. And so I unscrunched my nose, widened my eyes and put a big supportive smile on. This someone was particurly enamored with the nurses' outfits. She studied each one carefully. "oooooo too tight" "too much spandex" "too plain" "Oh.....I like this one.....how much is it?" And so we asked the patient saleslady about prices. Big surprise that nurses' outfits, a quality one - are not the cheapest. You're supposedly paying for enriched nights of wild kinky romance, but in fact are really dishing out alot of cash for flimsy, fall-apart fabric, that will most likely only be on you for 10 minutes. But that's cool. This someone looked at the outfits hard, and by this time, the saleslady had brought out a book of outfits, all of which they stocked. A full range of police, UPS delivery girl, and pirate outfits - to name a few. But this someone wasn't having any of it. "ooooooo all so sexy! But nope - I just think I can find cheaper outfits for this quality. I can make my own!.....yes that's what I'll do.....a nurses' cross, old kitchen apron....yeah I'll be set." me: "Oh totally - home-sewn stuff is always sexier!" (cough, cough) And so....she did. She cut up an old black shirt, found a short business skirt, pinned a cross on a headband, found an old slightly stained apron, and took the feather duster from above the fireplace. (not your ordinary nurse here) Voila. Piedmont Boutique is a fun place to window-shop. It's good for accessorizing Halloween outfits and 80's outfits, but the quality of the clothes are pretty poor and it's expensive for what you get. Apparently it's just as easy to create your own -make-shift spicy outfit .....ummmmmm yeah.

This is an incredible store! Has everything you could ever imagine in terms of color, sequins, wild, fun! I love as specifically shopping for music festival/LIB fun gear. I walked the entire District and this store was my favorite. All of the young women working there were incredibly kind and helpful, not pushy, didn't follow you around in a weird way, just let you be, but we're super helpful when you needed it. They got me different sizes when I was in the dressing room, made fun cute suggestions for outfit pairings and we're just overall amazing. I find it's pretty rare these days to have actual legitimate help in a clothing store, so I was pretty pleased with my experience here. The pricing isn't cheap, but it's also absolutely not ridiculous or overly priced. Most of the things in the store are made there too, so it's pretty cool to support a creative local business like this. I would definitely shop here again.

Such an iconic shop in San Francisco. Everyone knows and recognizes the fishnet-clad legs popping out over your head on Haight Street. Piedmont Boutique is one of a kind. They are known for hand-making many of their zany creations. From jewelry-necklaces, earrings, bracelets, headdresses, body wraps. To custom bras, shrugs, skirts, and everything in between. This place has everything whether you're a burner, raver, Halloween-lover, burlesque dancer, Lady Gaga impersonator (um...*cough), or simply a true San Franciscan looking for your next outfit for the weekend. It gets really packed, so the employees can get really overwhelmed with people attempting to try everything on and having 'selfie-photoshoots' in their store. The price is pretty steep, so I don't buy too much from here. But it's still one of my favorite stores to browse through and get inspiration for my next costumes!

My husband and I needed costumes for an upcoming aqua-themed party and I was scratching my head wondering what we were going to do. We walked in and were greeted by Dottie, who was dressed in a sparkly space-like jumpsuit. I knew we were in good hands. She went through the racks and pulled out all sorts of fun things and brought us into the largest dressing room I've ever seen. We walked out, bags in hand, with gigantic smiles on our faces. Now, I can't wait for the party!...and I can't wait to have a reason to shop with Dottie!

Custom made or off the rack. Boy, girl or in between. Do you want to look cool, crazy, fabulous or funky. This is the place for you to get your grove on. Simon the Cat ....loves all the colorful stuff.

This place sells total crap and they know it because they refuse to give refunds even though their product broke right after I crossed the street. They then blamed me. In a world of consumer rights I can't believe this place is able to get away with what they do.

Need a mask for Mardi Gras? Or just feeling a little conspicuous at the club? How about a feather boa and some glittery gold spandex pants? Or maybe you just need a pair of Bon Qui Qui earrings? Piedmont Boutique has got you covered...barely. The racks here are stuffed full of barely there and over the top disco/clubwear. Great for Halloween.

I was in the market for some shinygoofy clothes for a desert event, and a friend recommended this place. Wow, rack after rack of shiny stretchy sparkly goodness - and they even had things in my size (xxl) - or at least things that stretched a little to make it to my size! The staff was awesome, helping pick things out and getting different sizes as I needed from the dressing room. Some of the things were pretty expensive - I got a purple shirt for $100, I don't know if I've ever spent $100 on a shirt - but it's great; other things were more reasonable. The apparently do lots of customization, too.

I love this place. If you like costumes you'll be like a kid in a candy store here. I wouldn't say it's cheap, some clothes and wigs are pretty expensive but if you love it and will wear the items again for . . .Halloween, B2B, Burning man, Pride, whatever .. then maybe you won't mind spending a little on a lot of fun. Try not to go here the day before an event or costumed holiday, there are often lines outside and it's very crowded inside with all their racks of outfits and such. A few of the items you can find here: wigs, feather boas, masks (the mardi gras type), costume jewelry, tutus of every color and length, tights, stockings, gloves, fake eyelashes in all sorts of colors, fuzzy vests, short skirts and crazy tops in many colors, materials, and prints. On my visit today the staff was very helpful and didn't even get annoyed when I changed my mind last minute on something and wanted another color. Luckily I had just beat the crowd who most likely is shopping for Pride attire today. Oops I have to take off one star for indeed having a very shitty website as another reviewer said. I don't understand how anyone has a crappy website what with so many web designers around. WTF?

After doing some searches on Yelp and Google to find a place in SF selling fishnet shirts, I stumbled across Piedmont. I had seen the store a few times while shopping up in Haight-Ashbury but never ventured in. A few reviews definitely piqued my interest and I added it to one of the places to go to on one of my monthly trips up to the area (I hate biking up the hill). The inside is definitely bright and cheery and there looks to be a *huge* range of items. It's definitely a costume shop (I wasn't quite sure what to expect exactly). Everything for the masquerade, gay pride, or whatever it is you're into, they'll probably have it here. I noticed clothes, socks, leggings, jewelry, hair supplies, and even more. It's not a large shop, but it's crowded and the aisles are narrow. It was also pretty darn busy! I was greeted and helped promptly by the staff and quickly taken care of at the cash when I found what I was looking for. As other reviews have said, they don't have a return policy. The girl stamped my receipt with "ALL SALES FINAL", but it's not obvious from what I saw outside of this. Make sure you've picked up something you really want! I'll happily go back for any neat clothing or costume needs.

If you're looking for outrageous outfits for costume parties, Bay to Breakers, raves, etc., Piedmont Boutique has you covered. I stopped in here in search of accessories for my Halloween costume - a mod girl from the 60s. They had exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price. The staff are ultra friendly, helpful and welcoming. The outfits are a bit expensive but it's because they make everything themselves. I ended up getting plastic bracelets with interchangeable colours and some white hoop earrings. The costume is nearly complete and much cheaper than I thought it would cost me. All jewelry was $4 each. I felt better supporting them than some big chain. It's a good place to get ideas, browse around and buy things. I'll definitely be back and/or recommending them to friends looking for costumes.

I have been coming to this narrow, packed, yet organized, boutique for over a decade, and I always have a great time checking out all the stimulating items and dancing to the eclectic mix of music. I have purchased gloves, pasties, tutus, pins and eyelashes, but I generally stick to the extensive and extremely affordable jewelry wall. It can be quite overwhelming to sort through the wall, but if you have the time and sensory patience, it can pay off. I don't really mess with the handmade apparel as it's not my style and it's an investment. The staff are pretty warm, attentive and decked out in PB-wear. This boutique appeals to men and women from all walks of life, who don't take themselves too seriously and want to look fabulous for a special occasion or just day-to-day.

Don't visit SF without stopping here. This shop has quickly become my go-to since I made the decision to steer my wardrobe in the direction of Elton John. Accessories, clothes, wigs, hats, shoes...the list goes on! Such a fun place, and always a great time :)

I love this shop so much! I live in Chicago now but I still think about this place. I just ordered some cheer up earrings for myself and i recommend you all do the same! Show these beautiful birds some support and look good! Xoxo

I love the environment and clothes at piedmont! A bit pricey but if you're looking for some nice staples that you can easily rewear throughout the years at events, this is the place to go! However, I will say I wish I was informed that I was being given a communal dressing room. I'm not really sure why but in the middle of me and my friend changing, I heard one of the workers say they're coming in and just let another customer into our dressing room? I feel like I should've been asked or something. I get this is the haight and the environment is very laidback but I'm quite a private person and didnt really feel comfortable changing in front of a total stranger even if she was another woman. I was also not wearing a bra so I was basically topless around a complete stranger. I love the boutique and will be coming back with a bra in the future but give your customers a little more warning about this because not everyone is comfortable with this type of thing!

Holy wall of stockings! I now have fishnets in every color. My life is complete. Piedmont has some ridiculously tacky, but awesome clothes. I agree that some of their clothes(usually the typical stripper wear) are overpriced. You can find the same exact brand somewhere else for cheaper. But they do have some gems. The stuff they make themselves seem to be made very well. They also take custom orders!

If you're looking for quirky costume pieces then this is the place for you. Behind the counter the entire wall was covered from floor to ceiling with offbeat earrings (seriously, they had enormous pineapple and devil rubber ducky earrings lol). They also had an impressive collection of sequined tube tops, tights, leggings, crop tops, masks, jewelry, and a few wigs. As someone who collects obnoxiously yellow jewelry and clothing this place was heaven for me. Great choice of loud colors and the staff was incredibly helpful.

It was the 11th hour and I'd visited 9 other stores over the course of the weekend and I was desperate for a stupid flapper costume for a work event. I have a body type that's not at all flattered by the boxy silhouettes of the '20s and finding a dress that was semi-appropriate, not ill-fitting, and affordable was proving to be extremely difficult. Piedmont was my last stop before I gave up, broke down, and spent $150 on a costume I'll probably never wear again, but it didn't look awful, it was actually hella comfortable, and the shop girls were pretty rad to work with. The dress I got isn't the highest of quality, but having lived in the Bay area for a hot minute now, I'm slowly and begrudgingly accepting that if something would cost $12.99 anywhere else in the country, it'll end up costing you about $89 more for the same thing in the Bay area. I liked the costume + kink of the shop and the sexy drag images posted all the dressing room. I wasn't a fan of the curtain dressing room door that doesn't close all the way, but I got over it pretty quickly and left with everything I needed to have a complete '20s era costume for what was a pretty fabulous event.

Mediocre size selection. A lot of Smalls. A lot of their merch is way overpriced. Not super into this place but I'll come back if I'm desperate.

I came here for some earrings and was very pleased with the amount of variety they had. I would say for their uniqueness, the prices are pretty fair. The staff are very attentive and friendly. One of the earrings I purchased had water in them but leaked by the time I got home. I don't mind that much though because they are still pretty wearable. Other than that, I'm satisfied with my products.

This costume boutique is hard to miss, because of the naked legs hanging out the upstairs window. Each time I drive by and see them, I think of an old college roommate... she had a similar tactic for luring interested consumers inside. Be prepared for the up-sell. The staff actually told me that I could wear a $65 bright blue petticoat every day. Under dresses, over jeans, with tank tops and boots... Look, I work in the Financial District. So, until Vanity Fair's cover features Kate Beckinsale walking to the office with a briefcase and dressed in a petticoat and a clown mask, I'm not gonna wear costume garb to work. Can't blame these gals for trying, though, their stuff is top quality and well worth every penny. We purchased faux eyelashes ($4), petticoats ($40), and a variety of other pretty pieces that we probably didn't need, but we wanted. And, as VISA can attest, 'want' trumps 'need' any day. The best part about this place? I bought a $10 pink butterfly clip for my hair that Connie C. got really attached to. Literally. http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/Pz4HVwffFAOxwZ1Pl8ZFZw/l

Well, well, well... I've come to this place for YEARS to get my furboots custom made and let me tell you this, the service is definitely something else. About more or less than a year ago, my friends and I came here to get our furboots customize since there was an event coming up. When it was time to pick up, 2 of the pairs were done right and one (mine) was made incorrectly. To my surprise, the owner (I believe since she's pretty old) gave me ATTITUDE when I told her mine wasn't done correctly. We went at it and she finally agreed to redo it. [NOTE: This place makes you pay in advance before you put in the order] Look, if I already paid about $50 a PAIR, I'm okay if you made a mistake...as long as you fix it! NOT only did I get an ATTITUDE, I got into a heated discussion with you too!? Now that's not how you treat your customers. Fast forward to a couple months ago, I had another event and it was a last minute thing so I decide to give this place another try. Came in, place my order, then wait. I received a phone call by Thursday and do you know what I was told? "Your furboots is ready for pickup. By the way, about 10 months ago, you wrote a bad review about us on Yelp, can you delete it before you pick it up?" WOOOOOOW!!! I was APPALLED! Whatever happened to the FREEDOM OF FREE SPEECH?! I'm pretty sure it's in the Constitution under the 1st amendment that I have to right to let others know if a place have bad service, don't I? Also, to tell me that I have to delete BEFORE picking it up? I PAID FOR THE DAMN THING ALREADY!! Are you threatening that you WON'T give it to me if I don't delete my "Quick Tip" on your service with an attitude comment? I came in to pick up my furboots, found it made incorrectly again. Had to redo it and guess what? They asked me AGAIN to take off the comment. I complied just so I could pick it up with no one hassling me but guess what? HERE'S THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS BUSINESS! If you think I'm making this up, well, I guess you'll experience it sooner or later. If not, hopefully they read this and the OWNER can learn to treat their regular customers BETTER! But best believe you will NOT find me at this store anymore. For the money I paid, I'm pretty damn sure other businesses around the area would much appreciate it more :)

As our hippie historical tour continued, we were foolish enough to walk under the fishnet legs sticking out of the second-story window, and suddenly we felt we were on an acid trip, stuck backstage at the Fillmore in 1967. OMG will you look at this inventory! Everything is glitter or psychedelic. Neon nylon hair. Day-glo pants. Mini-skirts, micro-skirts, frilly skirts, mini-micro-shorts, day-glo 'fro wigs, fluorescent boas, masks of all types, faux costume jewelry, costumes costumes costumes, garter belts, thongs, the inventory is endless! Suddenly we were reviewing our party calendars for the year and planning ahead for madness. Surely we had lost our minds, and this seemed to be exactly what the store intended us to do. Fortunately, the many young clerks were eager to make sure we found exactly what we imagined, and helped us put together ensembles just for us. The stores we had seen earlier in the day didn't seem so expensive now, as we were tempted to buy full costumes at $65 each. But there was a bargain angle here, too. Grass skirt = $5. Ha! Velvet sparkle thongs = 3/$30. Ha! We did buy something here, but don't ask us what it was. Debauchery knows no limits.
