Didn't know Party City also sold costumes.  (I've only visited one a couple of times in VA when sister needed balloons for her kids' parties.)  While the huge displays initially seemed impressive, they quickly revealed that the costumes sold here were of very low-quality.  Faced w/ two choices of spending $60+ on a costume here, or going to a party w/out, I'll choose the latter.  \n\nBetter still, I'd give my sister $60 and see what she can come up w/!  (She's made a few clever ones for under $15!)\n\nCustomer service was also very bad.  The adult costumes I tried had run out of size extra-small and small, and the medium I was offered was too big.  When I asked if there were equivalent styles in the children's section to try, I was told that was a good idea and I should go over there and have a look.  The sales rep could've at least offered to check.  Any chance of my giving in and spending $50+ plus tax on cheap pieces of crap flew out the window when those words came flying out of her mouth!  (That's $50 plus tax on a costume for which accessories would still have to be purchased to complete the look.  Oh, think of how many potential purchases lost bec. of lousy customer service offered here?)\n\nThe second star was for the info given by the cashier to a friend who bought a cape that any item returned within seven days of purchase would be returnable for the amount paid.  If only I would be caught wearing their costumes in the first place would this info be of use!\n\n(BTW, my friend returned said cape.  Nice!)
