Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find what I’m looking for?

There are two key ways to navigate the website:

Browse

Our costumes, wigs, accessories and make up are categorised to make searching a little easier. Browse by range (adult, children, teens, etc) or by style (Halloween, Christmas, Comedy, etc). On each product page you can view accessories and related items, perfect for completing your look!

Search

Use the search function to quickly find what you’re looking for.
Here are a few search tips:
Check your spelling

Use spaces
Avoid plurals
There's no need to include words like 'and' and 'the'
Instead of using film names, use character names

How do I know if an item is in stock?

Our website is constantly updated with stock availability. You will be able to view stock levels of your chosen item on the product page. We also check stock when you place your order. In the event of a system error during ordering, you will be contacted by a Customer Service Advisor.

How do I know when an item will be back in stock?

If an item is showing as out of stock, simply click the 'Is your size out of stock?' link on the product page, and you can choose to be notified when the item is back in stock.

How should I wash my item?

All our costumes and accessories come with a care label which you should refer to when deciding how to wash and care for your item. Since we use a wide variety of costume material including vinyl, plush fur, leather and velvet, we recommend that all items are dry cleaned only to ensure the best care for your product.

I'm unsure what size to order

Whilst we do our best to ensure all our costumes are true to size, like many high street retailers, you may find that sizes differ slightly between the Smiffys and Fever brands. If you're between sizes, we recommend you order a size larger, as it's much easier to adjust a costume to make it smaller than it is to make it bigger. You can view our sizing guide on each product page. If you would like to know more detailed information such as the length of a costume, please contact us.
