8 costumers are selling their goodies in one place! Shop for fabric, patterns, historical & fantasy costumes, accessories, wigs, vintage clothing, Halloween & goth gear, handmade crafts — bargains & surprises galore.

Looking for a reproduction 18th-c. gown, vintage ostrich plumes, or a traditional Egyptian belly-dance costume? How about a 1950s black taffeta dress, a reproduction 1850s Dickens Faire dress, or a red satin can-can costume? Maybe bolts of velvet & brocade fabric or wedding veil supplies are your thing? Come see these delights & more.

A few sellers will take PayPal, all will take cash. A communal dressing room with mirrors is available to try costumes on.

Visit the treasure trove of other costumers’ closets. You never know what fabulous things you’ll find!

Bonus for buyers:
This house is just blocks away from the hidden gem that is San Jose’s Antique Row. Visit over a dozen jam-packed stores, selling everything from Victorian oak furniture to vintage 1950s dresses to Art Deco glassware — often at better prices & less picked-over than in other parts of the Bay Area. We’ll have a handout listing all the stores. Get a full day of treasure hunting in San Jose.

  1. Wow, that’s almost within walking distance of my house. (Ok, not quite. But same area code) Now I really, really have to go. *Swoon*!
