About Us

An Invitation from Arlene and Her Staff…

Arlene’s Costumes is a must see. It is not your typical mall costume shop. With over 100 vendors to draw from, the array of theatrical and Halloween merchandise is incredible.

We Invite You to Join in the Fun...

You remember every costume you ever wore for Halloween – the super hero, the policeman, the princess, the pirate, the cat. If you are from Rochester, New York, or lived there anytime in the last 60+ years, chances are you got your Halloween costume from Arlene’s Costumes.

Unique gifts, hats, wigs, beards, gloves, leg wear and lingerie, theatrical makeup, retail and rental costumes including mascots, Santa and other holiday costumes, Easter, Halloween and more fill the showcases and line the walls.

Fun is our business. Fun is our brand. Fun is the instant thought that pops into your mind when you hear about us. No matter if you are looking for something specific or just have a little extra time in your day, come in to Arlene’s and play, play, play!

We look forward to celebrating with you and helping you find the perfect items to add fun to your next event!
