Children’s Costume Specialist was founded in Singapore by a husband and wife team who loves and enjoys being around children. They have had experience in the preschool sector and because of that, they fully understand the frustration and stress that teachers experience during the lead up to their annual end-of-year concerts. There are just so many things to worry about. There’s song selection, choreography, dance practice, hair, make up, stage design, budget and most importantly, the costumes!

Year after year, after finalising their theme and song selection, they were left with the challenging task of sourcing for performance costumes. They tried buying from small local stores, working with tailors and even ordering from overseas companies. However, none of them were reliable, and none of them provided beautiful matching costumes at affordable prices.

Countless other teachers shared with them how they too have: dealt with companies that made empty promises, received complaints from parents about the low quality of costumes and losing their time and money from dishonest sellers.

One year, after being played out by a local tailor (just a week before the performance), the couple finally decided to do something about it. They travelled around the region to source for costumes and ideas. They attended trade shows, took classes and learnt about design and clothing manufacturing.

In 2012, the duo founded Children’s Costume Specialist. Our first tiny brick and mortar shop was located inside the old Upper Serangoon Shopping Center. All of our costumes and stock were displayed and stored in the little 300sqft space. Even though we had a limited selection of costumes, we are extremely thankful to have had the trust and support of so many schools and teachers in our first year.

In 2013, the number of schools we served grew and we rented a small space to store our growing inventory.

In 2014, we merged with Chelsea Creation – a major children’s costume company. With the merger, we were able to increase our product range and also improve our manufacturing ability.

In 2015, we moved to a much larger space, also our current place, AZ@Paya Lebar. It is about four times as large as our old space and located next to Macpherson MRT station. This provided more convenience and comfort for our customers.

Since the beginning, our customers have provided us with a lot of requests, feedback and suggestions. We took all of them to heart and over the years, we have consistently implemented them. This has helped us immensely improve our processes, costume design, costume quality, product range and customer satisfaction.

Fast forward to 2017, we are proud to say that we are Singapore’s Largest Children’s Costume store! With over a thousand unique items, we have the largest selection of children’s costumes and accessories island wide.

We serve hundreds of schools, organizations and retail customers annually.

In addition to our physical store, we also have a large storage facility to house our ever-growing inventory.

We have an in-house team of designers to create unique, gorgeous, up-to-date and stunning costumes.

Our costumes are produced across multiple manufacturing facilities across Asia. Namely Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and China. And we always ensure that our products are made of high quality materials using excellent workmanship. On top of that, all of our costumes are extremely value for money.
