Party at Display & Costume

This is one of my favorite places to go period. Whether it be with a specific party theme in mind or just to gain inspiration. They have an amazing selection of costumes, themed cutlery, lights, and textiles. I’ve been there to purchase things for parade floats, Halloween parties, potlucks, and birthdays. It’s always great fun to see what new things have arrived or what is on clearance. Also, their wigs are always a blast to try on!

The employees here are absolutely fantastic. I have come here for Halloween supplies and also for cosplay, found everything I needed on every visit with no problems. Both employees that helped me were patient and helpful. They held my items at the registers while we walked through the store trying to pick up everything that we needed. Parking is plentiful and you’ll find exactly what you need! They do get busy on weekends so I would recommend coming during the week when everyone else isn’t trying to visit.
I emailed the store before one visit to inquire if they had an item in stock. I received an answer within 24 hours explaining what they had available, and to call if I had any additional questions. I appreciated that level of customer service.

Don’t treat repeat customers like criminals. If you let women carry purses, backpacks are fine too. You just lost a repeat customer who was about to spend an awfully large amount of money.

I have been going here for several years and was generally satisfied with the products and services. Today I purchased two sets of cupcakes decorations for my son’s Paw Patrol party. When I attempted to use them I discovered that they do not separate from the paper and therefore are not usable /​edible. I called to 1) let them know the product is defective even when following package instructions and 2) ask if I could exchange then for different ones (maybe I got a bad batch?) I was promptly informed that they know the items don’t separate and its my «opinion» that a product is defective when it doesn’t work according to package instructions.
1) that’s actually not an opinion. If something doesn’t work despite following instructions it is a fact not an opinion.
2) why are you selling products that you know to be defective?
3) My actual opinion is that I won’t do business with someone who rips me off for $ 5. If you can’t do the right thing as a local family business for $ 5 why would spend ANY amount with you?

I love this place. Especially at the holidays, they have the most unique Christmas décor and ornaments to choose from. I have always received great service here – even purchased my 90 year old grandmother a tiara here for her birthday and they helped me pick the right one, given her delicate head. I love the selection here – I’ve purchased everything I needed for baby showers, wedding showers and even Halloween. They have strict return policies, so be aware of that, but otherwise, they are a fabulous place!

Called to check if they had a blond bob wig for a Kurt cobain costume and the sales associate was extremely personable, efficient, and helpful. I’m going to stop in later today to pick it up but I’m also so pleased with their customer service! Well done :)

This is such a cool and fun store! It’s huge and they have absolutely everything: costumes, wigs, make up, christmas trees, balloons, fabrics, etc.
Just wandering around you will find something creative for your next party idea! I went in for some costume shopping, but they were quite overpriced — a quick Amazon search found me the same costume for half the price.
The store is laid out very well, and organized by theme so you can easily find accessories for whatever you’re looking for.
I love going to Display and Costume but I wish they could bring prices more in line with what customers can find elsewhere more cheaply.

I almost can’t think of what to say in this review, because they are SO good, SO big, and carry absolutely anything and everything you could ever need for a craft, party, or holiday that everyone has probably already said everything they could say about the place. I am too self-​absorbed to not word it my own way and post it online, though.
In addition to having all the things and having them very well organized, there are always scads of employees bustling about, so if you can’t find anything or need advice staff is always close and available.
Prices seem really competitive, too.

Pros:
–soooo many costumes
–costumes are so well organized, by category, then child/​adult, then male/​female
–all costumes are out of the bags, hanging up, ready for you to look through and try them on
–great costume accessories
–excellent source for fabric, especially for costumes
Cons:
–slightly more expensive
–not nearly as many Halloween decorations as I was made to believe… I wouldn’t go there for decorations alone
–all sales are final

Expensive, but also had the most expansive selection of random party goods or other costume items of any store in Seattle!
It helps to call ahead to check if you’re looking for a specific item (we just did for the pink yard flamingos), but you can also just get lost wandering the aisles and find some awesome stuff!
Costumes are super expensive, as are most of the holiday decorations. You can find a ton of theme party items and some great face paint/​mustache and wig items!

Oh, man! This place is AMAZING. Every item… every color… every theme. I was hosting a «Summer Picnic» themed monthly staff birthday party at my office. PDC had the old school red & white table cloths, place mats with ants running around the edges… even bumble bee stick pins! I’ll be checking them out for Halloween and Christmas!

Great and fast service

I know, I know… they’re a chain and I say I don’t review chains.
BUT they’re really a seasonal store with temporary staff so that counts for something.
Anyways, even being seasonal, they’re still are pretty helpful and friendly.
And they DO tend to have everything you should need.
Some of the items are even cheaper there IN-​STORE than they are online (on Amazon… yeah, I cell-​phone scan tags to comparison shop and check reviews :-p).
We were shopping for a company party, so had issues with the company AmEx.
It wasn’t the store’s fault, they just hadn’t encountered the error codes that came up.
It took a bit, but working with their manager we were able to resolve the issue after about an hour (which reflects on the manager’s patience, if anything).
I don’t shop for parties much (Halloween is really my only favorite holiday), but if I need something for a costume, I’ll definitely be keeping them in mind.

This place literally has everything!!! Such a wide selection. However the prices are somewhat steep for certain items. I like the layout and everything is so well organized.

I love this store!!! So much fun stuff to get for parties. I love in West Seattle and make the drive because I know they will have the something extra to wow my party quests.
Check out is always fast and easy, and they have a decent return policy for non seasonal items.

This place is amazing. If you’re throwing any sort of themed party (Hawaiian, pirate, hollywood, Mardi Gras…) you name it they’ve got it!
You would think with a name like display & costume this would be geared mostly toward Halloween, false. I figured they were in the costume business, and they would slow down after the Halloween holiday. Also false.
They have stuff for; weddings, BBQ, graduation, Christmas, any holiday and this place has got you covered!
They have a great selection of wigs, costumes, candy, balloons, decoration for ANYTHING!!!
For your next theme party, or event you have got to come check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!

I went here today, the day before the weekend Halloween parties, to pick up some last-​minute stuff. This was my experience:
1. There was a full lot, and a line-​up of three cars waiting to get in. Two hired attendants were waiting for spots to open, so they could wave us in. Pretty intense for noon on a weekday.
2. The staff were everywhere — dressed in full costume, makeup, and contact lenses — being extremely useful to everyone. One popped up the moment I started to look confused. Another employee was explaining the use of theatrical makeup to a couple in the makeup aisle. A third employee was helping a customer who was looking for round glasses and a feather boa … «Elton John?» she guessed. «How did you know?» he said. «I’ve been doing Halloween for 14 years,» she said.
3. In addition to a huge stock and selection of mass-​manufactured costumes, there were aisles just for wigs, masks, and make-​up/​prosthetics. And a wall for furry and fabulous fabrics by the yard, with a large fabric-​cutting table set up in the middle.
4. I was disappointed to discover a somewhat weak selection of props and partial costumes. I was hoping to find a shell bra for my mermaid costume, or gills/​fins for my husband’s shark costume. They didn’t have anything beyond the most generic (wings, neck bolts) items.
5. The party selection was great for most themes and they had a lot of novelty gifts near the checkout. There wasn’t a huge amount of kids’ party stuff for franchise (Ironman/​GI Joe/​Pixar) themed parties.
6. Pricing was about what you would expect … always a little more than you wish you had to pay, but you’ll pay it because you really need the thing.
All in all I would much rather shop here than the big party chains.

This was the first party store I started going to when I moved to Seattle. I’ve always found the location convenient and parking plentiful. Can I just say that in my next life, I would like to work in a such a place, filled with balloons, feather boas, and more costumes than I know what to do with.
As a child, Halloween was frowned upon in my household. That means that when I got older, costumes were the bomb! I tend to be a serious person so having a little fun goes a long way. I’ve always found what I need here — purple Hit Girl bob wig, holiday pageant costume, Hello Kitty paper plates. What ever it is, they seem to have it. Many times, I don’t have a single idea as to what I want to do and it’s a great place to browse.
Prices are reasonable from my perspective and the stock is organized in a way that makes sense to me.
Aside from having a great selection, the staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve appreciated the care they take in making sure I have what I need.

This is your place if you are party planning or need a costume. They have pretty much everything you could need for a party and their costumes are pretty decent.
It’s really fun to visit on Halloween as they go all out with decorations and the employees are dressed up. It’s also very busy during that season. I’ve always had good experiences with the staff.
They have fairly good sales after each holiday with the exception of Halloween costumes because they save the costumes each year to sell the following year instead of marking them down.
I feel better about shopping at this local business rather than a national chain although the prices can be a bit higher. I definitely prefer them to Spirit of Halloween which opens shop around Halloween around the corner.
I also appreciate that their sign out front by the road clearly states «Open» or «Closed» and has the hours on it. Very helpful, especially around holiday seasons! They are open very late close to Halloween.

This place has it all from party supplies to crafting supplies!
Their warehouse is huuuuuuuuge! It stores Halloween costumes 365 days year!
I needed party supplies for my mom’s 80’s themed birthday party & I went here since I got a 20% coupon sent through email (you can get one too if you sign up on their email list.) I was going to NEON colors since it was an 80’s party. They had all colors, you name it, they have it!
The staff is super helpful with any questions you may have or if you need help finding your way around (again, it’s a warehouse, HUUUUUGE.)
They have themed sections for parties, ie casino, western. etc. The list could go on.
All in all, for your party & costume needs. Display & Costume is your place [=
