The Costume Shoppe – It’s More Fun In Costume!

The Costume Shoppe has been around Asheville for over 35 years. It fits in perfectly with the creative and playful spirit of the area.  Boasting over 1,500 costume rental pieces as well as wigs, masks, makeup, and costumes for sale, the Costume Shoppe is your year-round, locally-owned costume destination.  They specialize in helping you bring your vision to life with unique pieces and personal attention.

The Morning Mix with Melanie & Michael stopped by to be outfitted by the shop owner Tawnya Watts for their upcoming MIX 96.5 event Race To The Taps. Not only is Tawnya a blast to work with, she also has such a gift for taking the idea you have in your mind and turning into the perfect costume. If you ever need a costume stop by their new location at 61 N. Merrimon Avenue Ste.105 Asheville, NC 28804 and tell Tawnya the event theme, your idea, and she’ll take it from there!
