Reviews of Spotlight Costumes LLC (Costumes)

This place is remarkable. I work with Kim and Ron for my theatrical and event costuming needs and they are amazing! Their inventory is soooo vast and Kim brings a deep knowledge of fashion and costume history to every project. Whether you are going to a holiday costume party or doing a show, this is the first place you should contact !!

Called spotlight and they were very helpful. Thurdays march 7th 2019 drove down after leaving Carnegie science center(5-10min drive) My fiance and i were celebrating our sons first bday and wanted to rent a Red Monster Costume. Arrived at spotlight and thankfully as i asked someone outside the municipal building "is there a costume store around here" He just happened to be an employee.so he guided me up into the municipal building up the elevator to the store..The store is awesome thousands of costumes any and everything you'd expect from a buisness that has been around over 30yrs.. They treated me very well asking about my son, the party,even what food i was preparing (i informed them i am a chef and cooking italian for 85ppl) He wished my son a happy first birthday and that meant alot.. The costume was perfect,clean and fit very well ..One thing i suffer from and have to be careful of is buying or renting anything because of my severe allergies and the costume was free of any pet dander, cat or dog hair etc.. The party was great!! Dad(me) pulled through with his performance of €lm0e and My sons first birthday was definitely Happy...Thanks again spotlight You Rock.!

This place sucks.. I walked in there with a $1000 with some crazy idea Id find some costumes for my youtube channel.. hes got 55k costumes but wont let me see any of them??.. Like omg I cant walk back into your storage area and get a brainstorm and buy this and buy that.. What kinda costume store dont carry a Squirrel?? Buy your stuff online folks.. not worth your time.. Maybe if you want to be the Easter Bunny, he'd have a bunch of those..

Ronald Thompson

WOW! This place is INCREDIBLE, their new location in the West End is HUGE! So many beautiful rental costumes and accessories PLUS a educated and knowledgeable staff. They also have the largest selection of theatrical makeup and prosthetics around. And FREE parking in their lot, what's not to love?

Mailey Kaye

Very nice selection of makeup! They have Ben nye makeup in store. I couldn’t find it anywhere else and I’m SUPER impressed. The man who was working was very nice and exptremely helpful. He knew what he was talking about. Definitely going to refer business to them!

Mary Fisher

The only place to go for all your costume needs in Pittsburgh. Haven't seen them yet - take the time to check them out. Not your ordinary blah -say, oh- hum, same old costume shop.

Joy Lager

Super helpful, wonderful customer service. Just a great place for any of your cosmetic or costume needs! As a makeup artist, I especially appreciate that they carry such a large selection of Ben Nye cosmetics. So much easier than ordering online!

Michel Bitton

very good people that forget to pay for the fabrics that they buy

Aaron Staricek

Stopped in yesterday was told to call today to come in for a rental. It is Halloween weekend busiest day for costumes and was told when I called back that there was no seamstress. Lady had an attitude. Had a very nice selection of costumes shame lady who owns or works there doesn’t know customer service.

Anthony Lopata

They sell all kinds of performance art makeup. The staff is helpful and extremely polite and helpful.

Mark Andrews

Maria Bruno

I ordered make-up for a high school production, and asked the owner to not place the order until we were sure that the product was going to be in on time for the musical. I never received confirmation, or verification of any kind. When I called requesting a refund I got a very rude man on the phone who I later came to find out was their floor manager who had a very poor attitude, telling me that he was losing customers in he store because he was on the phone with me, and also saying "are you going to shut up so I can explain." Not only this, but he also told me his owner made a "boo boo" and when I brought this to his attention he said "I do not talk like a 3 year old." At the beginning of our conversation I requested to speak to the owner and was told she wasn't available, but somehow by the end of the conversation she came out of the woodwork to talk, but wouldn't talk to me on the phone. The final thing that was said to me was "I'll issue you a check (which won't be for the full amount mind you, because I am being charged for a restocking fee and a shipping fee)" and that statement was followed by this man hanging up on me. I will never purchase anything from spotlight again, and I will see to it that any of my theater friends don't purchase anything from there either. It is NOT OKAY to treat customers with such disrespect.

Awesome service, will use again in the future

Valerie Squire

Great little gem tucked away in the West End. Very helpful and sweet staff. Will definitely go back.

Lucia Lazzara-Goodrich

This place is awesome! I had to go there to get theatrical foundation and had no idea what I was doing. Ten minutes later I had everything I needed and stuff that I needed that I didn't even know about! Their staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I would definitely recommend this place for any costume needs!!!

Nicole Santella

This place is wonderful. I had no idea the depth of what they really do. Since they primarily provide costume for movies and plays, you get a history lesson when choosing your attire. You can find things for virtually any time period including the present. Kim is very knowledgeable and actually hand fabricates many of the costumes she provides. The costumes are beautiful, the selection is vast, and the customer service is exceptional. It is also a sustainable thing to do, as most off the rack, cheap, adult costumes end up in landfills. I recommend going to see Kim at Spotlight Costumes anytime you need a costume-especially if a competition is involved.
