    We will also be launching a brand new website, it'll be even slicker, quicker and more interactive than this one, whilst maintaining our signature sense of fun and merriment of course :-)

  • Poppies to Tinsel, via Turkeys....

    Tis that time again folks, it's chilly out but it's never too cold to party! Our very own Charlie was a real trooper and put on a costume to collect for the Poppy appeal, we shall let you know how much he raised as we learn the details! You are never too young for charidee!

    We had the Christmas light switch on on Saturday 17th November which was amazing, fantastic music, great crowd and the most splendid array of animals ( and reindeer of course! ) that you can imagine!

    So with the festive period in full swing we wanted to let you all know that we are ready for all your christmas party needs so come on down, we would love to see you!

    P.S this year we will once again be collecting for Aldershot Rotary, and I am determined to wear our fabulous Turkey costume, watch this space...

  • Golden summer to Bloody winter..

    What a great summer it was! The nation rejoiced as Team GB swept up the golds in the Olympics & Paralympic games. On the fancier side of things the Goodwood Revival was a roaring success as we enjoyed our highest rate of vintage hirings to date!

    Bestival also went wild with it's animalistic theme, there were definetley some of our customers enjoying a beastly time on the Isle Of Wight...

    And now as the nights draw in and there is a chill in the air, what is there to look forward too?.................HALLOWEEN of course! Our favourite time of year here at The Dressing Up Shop!

    From the costumes to the wig's, masks, make-up and prostethics it really is one of the most fun of all the dressing up holidays.

    So for expert knowledge, great ideas and lot's of choice come to us for all your Halloween needs, we'll be dead helpful....

    P.S If you are visiting us Halloween week we might have taken on rather grisly persona's....

    See you soon!
