Over 60 Years of Costumes, Wigs & Creativity in Chicago
Fantasy Costumes has been helping Chicago dress up for more than 60 years.
The story began in the 1960s, when longtime owner George Garcia started selling wigs from his car. What began as a small wig business grew into five costume stores throughout Chicago. In 1969, Fantasy Costumes opened its location in Chicago's Six Corners shopping district on the Northwest Side — the location that remains our home today.
Originally known for an incredible selection of wigs and custom wig styling, Fantasy Costumes continued to grow along with its customers. Over the decades, the store expanded into a sprawling 20,000-square-foot, year-round costume superstore filled with costumes, wigs, masks, theatrical makeup, accessories, rentals and hard-to-find items.
More than 60 years later, our mission is still pretty simple: help people look great, have fun and bring their ideas to life. And yes, it's still perfectly OK to get a little crazy.
Chicago's Year-Round Costume Superstore
Fantasy Costumes is much more than a Halloween store. While we're proud to be one of Chicago's premier destinations for Halloween costumes, we serve customers throughout the year.
Our customers include families, cosplayers, performers, schools, theaters, television and film productions, professional entertainers, nonprofit organizations and businesses planning themed events. We also help fans preparing for Chicago-area conventions and cosplay events find the costumes, wigs, makeup and accessories they need to complete their looks.
Whether you're putting together a Halloween costume, preparing for a theatrical production, attending a convention or planning a themed event, chances are you'll find something at Fantasy Costumes you won't find anywhere else.
