great for wigs

With the amime convention coming up, I ordered my wigs at Bruna Costumes now. I used to get them on line but they are much better quality at bruna costumes and the cost is much better.

Best wigs for anime convention

I ordered my wig last year from Bruna. Their prices are so much cheaper than if you go to the Boston Convention. Bruna's wigs are about half the price of other companies and the wigs are really great quality and they are washable. They have a large selection on their website at www.brunacostumes.com.

playboy bunny costumes

I have been looking all over for a playboy bunny costume. I was about to give up and say an ad on cox cable for Bruna Costumes in Prov. I thought I would check it out. To my amazement. They did have Playboy bunny costumes. Believe me they are the only ones in R.I. Mass and Conn. I checked everywhere. Bruna's is the ony one who carries them.

BEST COSTUME RENTAL

I have been all over R.I. and Mass. Bruna is the only place that has real custom made costumes. They come with hat and shoes or boots. They are very authentic looking and the quality is supurb. They are all original, one of a kind. and in Little R.I. you won't run into someone with the same costume. That's a drag.

Best SANTA costumes

The best santa suit that I have ever seen was at Bruna Costumes in Providence, R.I. The woman there makes the suits and they are super. They are velveteen with thick white fur trim. They have real boot with fur trim. Very well made. I am very impressed.

BEST COSTUMES IN R.I.

My wife and I are going to the Belcourt Castle. I go every year and this is the second year that I went to Bruna Costumes. This is the place to go for an intelligent looking professional costume. Believe me. I have been to every other place and do you know what. There is NO other decent place to rent a costumes, The owner had her heart and soul and a passion for her company. Just one conversation and you will get the picture. My wife and I are always treated as friends even though we barely know her. She always makes everyone feel welcome. Bruna Costumes is a diamond in the rough. Take my advice, don't go anywhere else, or you will be wasting your time. I hope this review is helpful to you. Leion

UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND SHOP

I went on Bruna Costumes web site and was very impressed. But, everything looks good until you see it in person. I did just that and I am happy to report that the costumes look even better in person. They look like real costume, not the kind at the halloween stores. I spoke to Bruna who is a very nice lady. I felt very comfortable. She really makes you feel welcome. She makes a lot of the costumes herself. They are terrific. Words of advice= rent early because they will definetely get sold out. The prices are so reasonable, its unreal.

www.brunacostumes.com

The web site is very helpful. My wife and I are going to Belcourt castle. There are a lot of promenent people there who have the best costumes ever, while my wife and I looked like a salvation army version. I asked the best dressed where they got there costumes and they all but one said, 'Bruna Costumes'. I thought that they must charge hundreds to rent but it's for a good cause I didn't mind paying a little extra for a great looking costume. My wife went there yesterday to check it out in person and I went today. The costumes are so fabulous and they are less then a hundred dollars to rent. The web site is great but they are so much better in person.

Professional movie like costumes

I am amazed at the beautiful costumes that are on display at Bruna Costumes in Providence. I'm not sure if they are custom made but I haven't seen anything like this anywhere in R.I. Not like I have been to a lot of costume shops, but I have been to the halloween stores in the malls and party stores. There is no comparison. Bruna is completely different. They don't have bags and bags of costumes. They show off their costumes.

I really really like it. Its a great place.

I wasn't in the market for a costume, but I happen to be getting a tatoo on Pocasset Ave in Prov. I had to wait my turn, so I thought I would walk the neighborhood. I came across a very unusual place called 'Bruna'. I had no idea what this was. So, I thought I'd take a chance. It seemed approachable enough. I could tell by the window. I was greeted by a very nice lady that wasn't an aggressive sales lady. She just said 'hello' how are you Are you looking for anything special? I was so amazed at the pirate costumes that were on display. They were amaazing. They were faux suede jackets with matching hats. I had to ask where she got these costumes. She said they are made by the owner. The designs are hers and she sews some of them. I kind of knew that they had to be professionally made. I will definetely be back for halloween. Carl
