About Costumes in Australia

Costumes in Australia has been dressing up Australians for over a decade. We started as a small Melbourne operation with one mission: make it easy for Aussie families, teachers and party-goers to find a great costume without the guesswork. What began as a passion project has grown into one of Australia's largest online costume stores — thousands of styles in stock, shipped same day from our Melbourne warehouse, in sizes from toddler to adult.

Our Story

We know what it's like to get the school notice on Tuesday for Friday's Book Week parade. We know what it's like to realise on the 30th of October that Halloween is tomorrow. That's why we built a business around fast dispatch, honest sizing guides and a range that covers the moments Australians actually celebrate — Book Week, Halloween, 100 Days of School, Oktoberfest, and everything in between.

Our warehouse is in Melbourne. The vast majority of orders are picked, packed and dispatched from our own Melbourne warehouse — and everything ships from within Australia — so when we say orders before 2pm ship same day, we mean it.
