The National Costume Association held it’s annual convention in Indianapolis this year. A much anticipated event is the “Showcase”, a costume competition among the many participating costumers from the USA, Canada and Great Britain.

Starline Costumes has been a participating member for many years. This year we were awarded the top prize, the Grand International Trophy. This award is to be added to the many awards we have received through the years recognizing costume talents and design.

The costume (perhaps mascot) was a “Mermaid and Whale”. The designer is Barbara Moore who built the Whale around a handicapped electric scooter and dressed herself as a mermaid.

The Grand International Trophy is an honor to receive especially from your talented competitors.

Starting September 7th we will begin accepting reservations in our costume rental department. If you aren’t quite sure what you want to be for Halloween yet, stop by the shop and get some ideas. We have a huge selection of over 30,000 costumes for rental alone! You can also get properly fitted before the October rush hits and save yourself some time.

The best costumes always go quick, so be sure to come by sooner than later!

Just a quick note:

During the summer months we are going to be closing the shop on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday through Friday we will remain open from 10AM – 6PM and Saturday from 11AM – 5PM. Thank you for your understanding!
