Some of the costume stores in Madrid have evolved with the city. Maty, Cornejo or Menkes have dressed their best dreams or nightmares to generations of Madrilenians, but this list has only grown over the years. In some of them you can find all kinds of accessories and decorative items for celebrations in which no detail is left untransformed.
1. Maty
Maty has been dressing up the people of Madrid with flamenco, ballet and dance clothes since 1943. But they have been adapting to the times and now sell costumes even online. Even so, going to their store in Hileras street, very close to Plaza Mayor, is one of those things you have to do in Madrid at least once in your life.

2. Fiestas Paco
It is very likely that you have ever passed in front of the mythical yellow window of Fiestas Paco or Caramelos Paco, two mythical establishments in La Latina, but the costume store had to move a few meters further down Toledo street because of the rise in rent. At least if you have to get creative for a party, this store is still there to get your costume ready.
Calle Toledo, 62 (La Latina)
3. Cornejo
When talking about Cornejo the first thing to do is to speak properly, here they do not make costumes, but stage costumes. The big productions of period films usually have Cornejo behind their costumes, so if you go to this tailor’s shop is because you are going to take the party (or event) very seriously. Between production and production they barely have time for tailoring for individuals, but they rent what they have in stock.

4. Barullo Company
Barullo Company is in the neighborhood of Ríos Rosas and is a costume store where they have everything you need to transform yourself for a night into a Disney character, from another era or whatever terrifies you the most. They have a wide variety of children’s costumes and accessories, in case you do not dare with the full costume.
Calle de Santa Engracia, 131 (Río Rosas)
5. Fantástica Party Fashion
Also in the vicinity of the Plaza Mayor is Fantástica Party Fashion, in addition to the classic costumes, flamenco dresses, and show clothes, there is an infinite amount of wigs, among which are a variety of cosplay and anime options. They also specialize in corsets, they have them in all colors, and can be the key piece to turn a normal outfit into a vintage one.
Calle de la Colegiata, 13 (Downtown)
6. Goya’s Caprices
In Los caprichos de Goya you have the most varied balloons: metallic, pastel, black or with customizable motifs, which usually decorate the events of the most exclusive brands in the capital. But they are also a costume store to use, they have no shortage of scary silicone masks or costumes of all kinds for theme parties.

7. Vestuario París
Vestuario París is a costume store located in the heart of Madrid where you can rent or buy from a chulapa dress to a Phantom of the Opera costume. They not only sell to individuals for special dates like Halloween or Carnival, they also have period costumes, costumes for shows, film and television. Something unique about. As a curiosity, they also rent tuxedos and academic gowns, which makes it a valuable resource for formal events and stage productions.
