Halloween just wouldn’t be complete without a great costume, whether it’s for trick-or-treating or just going to a party. Thankfully, you don’t have to go far to rent a costume, as Niverville has its own costume rental shop, Dress ‘Em Up, run by Laura Zacharias.
Dress ‘Em Up isn’t just for Halloween outfits, as it’s open year-round. Zacharias rents costumes for socials, birthday parties, dramas, musical theatre, and Christmas events.
“I have been involved with plays in my church for many years and rented costumes from D&M Rentals on occasion when they did this,” says Zacharias. “In the spring of 2013, I went to D&M to rent a Roman soldier costume and was told they no longer rented costumes, but that they were available for purchase. My husband and I immediately thought this would be a good opportunity, as then I would have many costumes available to me for the dramas I am involved in, and I could start a small business as well.”
The costumes come in many sizes, ranging from toddler to adult-plus sizes. They also come in a variety of themes, including renaissance, pirate, western, and popular characters from movies, television, and storybooks.
“I also have [costumes from] various decades, from the 1800s, 1930s, 1950s, and 1970s,” Zacharias adds. “I have different ethnic costumes from German, Chinese, Indonesian, and Ancient Greece. I even have Santa suits and Mrs. Claus.”
Dress ‘Em Up has over 50 costumes available, and the selection continues to grow each year.
