    Locally made Halloween Costumes

    Betsy Ross Costumes

    Instead of shopping at a mass market chain store than imports most of their items from over seas, try Betsy Ross Costumes in Clarence.

    A large amount of the costumes are locally produces.

    Betsy Ross Costumes
    9670 Main St.
    Clarence, NY 14031

    716-759-8522

    Rental and Sales of costumes start at $10 and up.

    The reason I mention this is the Buffalo News incorrectly stated selling prices of costumes started at $100 dollars and up versus $10 and up.


    The largest costume shop in Western New York, we're family owned and have been in business for twenty years.



    We're not just Halloween! Open year round, we provide costumes for sale or rental and accessories for all occasions including holidays, corporate events, theme parties, birthdays, costume weddings, theater, school productions and projects, dance recitals, advertising and promotions...to name just a few.



    With over 3000 rental costumes in inventory and 1,000's of costumes and accessories for sale, we are sure you will find everything you need. We also feature a large selection of plus sizes for both men and women ranging from XL - 4XL.



    Please browse the following pages. They are for general information only. Items pictured may not be exact in all cases but are designed to give you an example of the items we carry. For your specific needs and questions, please call us during business hours at 716-759-8522 or toll free at 800-244-3064. We'll be more than happy to help you with your costume needs.



    We promise the highest quality rental costumes which are cleaned and pressed after each rental. Our staff is knowledgable in proper size and fit and will help choose what is right for you.

    I saw the title of the thread and thought it was gonna be a joke...

    Like:

    • Dress up as a jar of Weber's mustard.
    • Rent a Baby Joe Mesi costume-- complete with paint on shiner.


    For a group costume theme:

    • Go as the WGRZ "Red Coat Team." Inflatable Stephan Mychajliw bopper toy is gonna cost you extra but we'll throw in an extra Josh Boose mask for free!
    • Go as the Erie County Legislature: Blonde or brunette pageboy wigs for the ladies... The one who goes as Marinelli gets a rumpled hot pink cardigan... The guys all get to carry pizza boxes and gavels.
    • The Chris Collins costume comes complete with large eyes and a hatchet that can be used to attack an inflatable barrel of pork.
    • Or if you can't afford a costume... You can borrow grandma's glasses and use a mop top as a wig and go as Robby Takac.
    • You can draw tattoos on yourself, not wash your hair for a week, cover yourself in ripped sweaters and bergamot scented oil and go as Ani DiFranco.
    I'm just here to make people laugh. And to confuse people. Oh, and to irritate people.

    I forgot one...

    You can put on a curly wig and glasses, don a sensible sweater and carry around a laptop and a copy of the Buffalo News...

    And go as Rez!

    ...Ahem... And might I add... That would be the most HANDSOME costume!
