Watts Costume Rentals

General information

Tired of the same old costume shop? Try Watts. Don't let the frumpy name fool you: if you're not impressed by the homage to our founder, the brilliant thespian Sir Albert Watts, who brought Watts Costumes to Vancouver from England over 75 years ago, then think of us by this acronym:

Wardrobe is Abundant, Theatrical, Top-notch, and Sanitary.

Here your festive spirit will ignite the moment you ascend the stairs to our colourful establishment - an extravaganza of dazzling costumery, efficiently managed by our happy and helpful team. The rest of the year keeps us busy with corporate events, Christmas, Easter, theme weddings, theatre, the film industry and just about any occasion you can imagine.

The majority of our costumes are one-of-a kind, lovingly crafted by our very own in-house designers using top quality and period proper fabrics and trims.

We like your kids, but we don't outfit them: we rent adult sizes only, along with our large selection of wigs and accessories.
