At Lucy In Disguise With Diamonds, I can shop with confidence. This place is amazing. Great staff. Great service. You can't find a better place for costume supplies in Austin. Not to mention, their prices are friggin' awesome. They even give discounts to us stage performers. I will be back... a lot.

• Pros: Great staff, great selection, massive variety, great prices, apreciates local performers
• Cons:  not a thing

Buyer Beware

by royemullin at Citysearch

Last year, my daughter had the lead in her school musical Annie. Two weeks before the performance, we went to Lucy in Disguise to rent an Annie costume. It appeared to be cheaply made and pricey to rent, but I felt I had no alternative. One week before we needed the costume, my wife found a much better option at a second hand clothing store. I immediately contacted Lucy in Disguise to cancel the reservation. I canceled the reservation a week in advance and although the costume never left their store I was charged full price. Buyer beware.

Unbelievable Selection Of Costumes!

by c222c at Citysearch

This is the most amazing store I've seen outside of London or Manhattan! Over 50,000 costumes in stock at all times!!! Just about every costume wig ever made is available here along with wigs, make-up, jewelry, vintage clothing, and an incredibly cool and hip staff! Check out the sale section in the back (ask where it is--the store is set up like a funhouse maze). I found a 1940's bathing suit for a dollar and a pair of bell-bottoms for 3 bucks! Yes, there is a line around the block just to get in around Halloween, but the rest of the year offers quick and efficient service.

• Pros: Huge Selection, Cool Staff, The Store ROCKS!!!
