Decades of History
A legacy in theatre and design
Our Story Started With a Santa Suit
What started in 1973 at Marilynn Wick’s kitchen table—with a single handmade Santa suit—has grown into the nation’s largest costume collection. For over 50 years, Costume World has been dressing Broadway stars, Hollywood productions, and everyday dreamers alike. From century-spanning fashion to one-of-a-kind performance pieces, our archive celebrates the power of transformation, storytelling, and theatrical history.
With roots in family tradition and a legacy of excellence, Costume World is more than costumes—it’s a stage for imagination.

Absolutely blown away by the quality and detail of the costume I ordered. It looked straight off a Broadway stage. The team was so helpful with sizing, and it arrived quickly. I’ve never felt so confident at an event!
