Why shop by brand?
Although the costume industry isn't as brand driven as designer handbags or sneakers, there is a great deal of variation in size and quality between different manufacturers. For online shoppers who do not have the luxury of trying on the fit or seeing the texture and quality of the fabrics used, it's important to have some measure of consistency when ordering a costume for an important event.
While a picture can speak a thousand words, some brands may have poor image quality that doesn't capture the true magnificence of the costume whereas other brands can make their costumes appear better on photo than on a real person. If you liked the quality and sizing of a costume from a particular brand, it's likely that you will feel the same about any other costume bearing the same brand name. |
