Maria Trejo, supervisor at Mission 27, highlights the joy of seeing children excited about their costume finds. The affordability of these costumes plays a significant role in attracting families. Many patrons prefer secondhand shopping for the great deals available.
Affordable Costume Finds
- Kendra Breedlove, a shopper, showcased her Halloween haul, which included:
- A witch hat and gloves for just $4.
- A vampire costume for her son, costing only $7.99.
- These prices are notably lower than traditional Halloween stores.
According to Trejo, Mission 27 has been busy. They regularly restock their Halloween inventory, ensuring plenty of options are available leading up to October 31. Families are finding a variety of costumes while also engaging in creative DIY projects.
Creative DIY Costumes
Many customers enjoy piecing together costumes from different sections of the store. Trejo mentioned that one of the most imaginative DIY creations was inspired by the movie “Corpse Bride,” using a wedding dress. Another example was a Catwoman costume that included:
- A two-piece leather set
- A cat tail
- Cat ears
- Tights
This complete DIY costume could be assembled for roughly $20 to $25.
