    John, You would be mad not to give Amy in Dumore Embroidery a ring. They are based just outside Sligo in Ballintogher but she is a costume queen! 071 9164848

    Looking at their website it seems to be more altering and Embroidery services, they don't seem to do any fancy dress costumes and it's unlikely that the OP has a costume that needs to be altered.

    Just been curious but what kind of costume are you looking for?

    I'd say the place is Ballina is the best bet, I had a look at their website a while back and from what I remember it was rental only. Maybe it was just rental from the website but have the opportunity to buy it in the shop;)

    I don't think that's original..... maybe it's because we all dress like that back home :p You did know, to do that justice you can't wear any underwear? :)

    John, If you want to look good, in costume or whatever, Amy in Dumore is your woman! The wesite is before her time and over the next few months will change seriously but she has and is what you need if you want to look and feel cool at a dress up party or any night out.

    Her ladies day victim (Winner last year is hopefully attached?
