Themed birthday parties for kids are a common extravaganza in our Pinterest-perfect world, which requires knowing where to buy costumes year round.

Just Imagine Fun Clothing

The best thing about Just Imagine is they offer choices; the original Disney brand Elsa costume, or a cheaper but equally coronation worthy knock off version.
3060 W Broadway, Vancouver | (604) 222-3523

Dressew Supply

Dressew offers a wide selection of full costumes or simple accessories for completing a homemade creation. Just beware that some of their costumes geared for adults are on the spooky or racy (or both side). You might want to shop without the kids.
337 West Hastings Street, Vancouver | (604) 682-6196

The Party Bazaar

The Party Bazaar carries every imaginable kid costume from infants on up. You can create a little angel or a little horror.
1296 Station Street, Vancouver | (604) 873-5241

Toys R’ Us

The costumes at Toy R’ Us are limited but we’ve found a batman, a king, and a police officer in stock.
1154-1174 West Broadway, Vancouver | (604) 733-8697

Value Village

Value Village is perfect for pulling together a quick costume with a homespun feel. Grab a second hand tutu and a crown and your well on your way.
