Women's Halloween Costumes

Women’s Halloween costumes are all about self-expression. Whether you’re aiming for spooky, sultry, whimsical, or witty, there’s a perfect costume for every personality and party. Since 1988, we’ve been helping women find the right Halloween look, with a curated collection of costumes that blend classic themes, current trends, and timeless favourites. Our selection includes everything from iconic horror characters and storybook heroines to pop culture legends, fantasy creatures, and clever pun-inspired ensembles.

With over 35 years of Halloween expertise, we not only provide high-quality costumes, but we also host events, track emerging trends, and connect costume lovers with ideas and inspiration that go far beyond October 31st.

We’ve been the go-to Halloween experts since 1988, and our women’s costumes reflect decades of knowledge, customer feedback, and fashion-forward thinking. Whether you’re headed to a costume party, trick-or-treating with family, attending a cosplay convention, or joining a themed office event, we offer costumes in a wide range of sizes, styles, and budgets — from playful and flirty to elegant and eerie.

How to Choose the Right Women’s Halloween Costume

1. Define Your Vibe:
Do you want to be scary, sexy, funny, nostalgic, or elegant? Narrowing this down helps you browse with purpose.

2. Consider the Event:
Costume parties, bar crawls, family trick-or-treating, or work functions may call for different styles or levels of modesty.

3. Prioritise Fit & Comfort:
Look for breathable fabrics, adjustable elements, and options that suit your body type. Our size range includes standard, plus size, and petite fits.

4. Accessorise to Elevate:
Shoes, wigs, jewellery, props, makeup, and themed bags can take a costume from basic to best-dressed.

5. Think Weather & Layers:
Will you be indoors or outside? We offer costumes suitable for chilly fall nights and indoor events alike — including layering suggestions.


Materials & Quality

Our women’s costumes come in a variety of materials, from lightweight satin and stretch fabrics to deluxe velvets, faux leather, and sequined accents. Each costume is tested for quality, comfort, and durability so that you can wear it all night long — and maybe even again next year.


Expert Tips for Women’s Costume Shopping

  • Try It On Early: Don’t wait until October 30th! Give yourself time to adjust, accessorise, and feel confident.

  • Use Body Tape or Fashion Fixes: These help ensure secure fits for strapless or form-fitting costumes.

  • Don’t Overlook Makeup: The right makeup can completely transform your look. We offer kits and tutorials.

  • Comfortable Footwear Matters: If you’ll be on your feet all night, coordinate with boots or sneakers in theme.

We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
