The best costume parties are dressed by fancydress.com
Angels Fancy Dress has grown from comparatively modest beginnings as part of the
world’s largest costumiers. We dress stars of film and TV, something that many claim to do and don’t. Just look at extracts from our VISITOR’S BOOK – they are all genuine visitors to our shop in London.
Officially, the company began in 1840 when Morris Angel founded the limited company that we know today (although roots of our company go much further back!). Morris started dealing in second-hand clothing and tailors samples from Saville Row. The shop became popular with actors, who at that time had to purchase their own costume for performances. Eventually the actors began to request the loan of costumes for the length of the play and this is where costume rental was born. Angels Fancy Dress is still based in our old shop in Shaftesbury Avenue.
We supply one costume or many costumes for fancy dress costume & fancy dress parties, or for those special times like Halloween, Easter, Christmas or Valentine’s Day or anytime, 365 days a year, online.
