Stock up on child sized costumes for dress-up and decorating
It’s that time of year again! Halloween is just around the corner and everyone is getting excited about decorating their homes and dressing up in costumes. If you’re planning a Halloween-themed party for your friends and their kids, we’ve got some great ideas for you. You can create a fun and spooky atmosphere by decorating your yard with playful scenes of fright. While we don’t sell skeletons and props, we do have a wide selection of costumes that you can use to dress up any Halloween scene. Kid-sized costumes can make even the skinniest skeletons look great! You can also use old dolls and homemade dummies to add a creepy touch to your porch or hang them from trees to scare passers-by.
If you need help finding the right costumes, no worries! Beauty and the Beast Costumes in Chattanooga has a huge selection of child-sized clearance costumes that are perfect for creative play all year round. Don’t miss out on our amazing deal- take an extra $5 or $10 off any child-sized clearance-priced costume! These may not be what your child wants to be for Halloween, but would be great fun for playing dress up, school projects, learning to sew, or letting their imagination run free. Plus, buying clearance costumes with coupons makes them almost FREE!
Big Things Coming!
So many great things are happening at Beauty and the Beast Costumes, Chattanooga, that I can barely contain myself. We have a huge shipment coming that will not only fill in many of the gaps of things we have sold out of but also bring in many new and exciting products for our Retail customers. Our DIY collection of bodysuits, tutus, toy weapons, and even odd things like Colonial socks will be significantly expanded for your Cosplay and creative costuming needs.
Also – Keep your fingers Crossed! – We hope to have this website completely overhauled very soon. These significant changes should make the site more attractive and, more importantly, make browsing more manageable for everyone. Our main objectives are to make it easier to navigate on mobile devices and lessen the confusion generated by our search engine mixing Rental and Retail items together without adequate notation. Most of the confusing and overlapping categories will be eliminated.
We should also be able to label images of Rental costumes as such and fine-tune items primarily geared toward theatrical productions. Things that we currently list as “Theatrical Groups Only” are usually not popular for Halloween or themed parties. These are basic items like white shirts, black pants or plain white dresses available in large numbers and multiple sizes. ‘Ad-on’ pieces can be used to adapt these primary costumes into different looks and colors for ensemble groups. The bulk of those items are stored in less accessible places, making them unavailable to walk in customers. At the same time, we want our directors and costume coordinators to know how much variety is available for their performances. There are also a lot of larger pieces that can be bulky and/or delicate. If individuals want or need these for a special occasion, there may be special conditions such as a 24 hour notification for viewing, restocking fees for those who ‘just want to look at it’, and definitely a full 10X rental security deposit which, again, renders them undesirable for individuals.
We almost forgot the BUNNIES!
Did you ever forget to press Send? I think we did. The most adorable Easter Bunny costume Rentals are only found at Beauty and the Beast, Chattanooga! Our rentals are always two days for the price of one, and weekend rentals are Friday until Monday. Plus, that same great $55 price that has not increased in over 15 years.
Yes, we do have a new Security Deposit on all rentals. This is what will help keep those rental prices low in the future. As the replacement costs keep rising, it is important to insure that people take good care of our rentals, return them on time, in good conditions, and reasonably clean. The only other alternative is to raise the rental cost by $20 for everyone to cover the ever rising cost of fun fur to replace the feet, hands, etc. The security deposit makes sure that careless people pay for the damages they cause, NOT YOU!
Makeup and “How To” DIY videos
The BIG Mehron shipment for this year has arrived and we are busily putting things away as fast as possible! Beasty is working on making some new display trays to keep all the colors neat, orderly, and easily accessible. Beauty has been looking up some “How To” videos to help answer the most common questions with the least amount of wasting your time on a lot of Fluff content. We hope you’ll find these useful.
One of the most anticipated arrivals is the Neon UV Glow Paradise AQ face and body paint available in the refillable 8 color magnetic case or in the individual ‘refillable’ size color packs.

Mardi Gras fun for All!
MARDI GRAS is just around the corner and Beauty and the Beast Costumes, Chattanooga has got all kinds of fun things for creative people. This year’s theme is “Think Outside the Box!” Anything can be a Mardi Gras costume, even last year’s Halloween costume or something out of your closet. If you want to be a more traditional, look for items that are Purple, Green, or Gold colored. Toss on mask, some beads, a crown, or feathers and you are good to GO! Let your creativity really fly and break all the ‘rules’ because let’s face it, this is the holiday with only ONE rule – Enjoy yourself and live life to it’s fullest.
Our beautiful Dark Mardi Gras Fairy is wearing a Hell’s Belle costume from the clearance section, sparkling fantasy wings, iridescent ram horns and purple rose head band, purple and black Glamour wig. Toss on some green accents like ribbon in her hair, a ring on her finger and an exotic hand held mask and she is fit to be an internet sensation!
Ahhh! No ball is complete without a lounge lizard. This purple velvet disco shirt, gold crown, inexpensive mask, and a ton of beads to hand out is all he needs to wear with his favorite dress pants or thrift shop find. Add an Austin Powers attitude and he’ll keep everyone laughing all night long.
Mardi Gras in not just for the young at heart, the kids can get in on the fun as well. This young king is sporting an eye popping purple velvet robe with lush, plush white fur and glittering gold trim. He can wear any shirt and pants out of the closet. Top off this look with a bright gold crown and maybe a sparkling green wire wrap necklace.Did this little sister have a left over Halloween or school project belle costume? If she loves her purple and pink dress, Mom only needs to pick up a pink mask and boa, or maybe add a Mardi Gras star wand to update her look, or start anew.
*HOT* New Santa Items
Don’t worry last minute Christmas shoppers! We have you covered.

NEW Style! Halco brand dark red velvet Santa suits in XLarge, 2XLarge, and 3XLarge have been moving quickly this year, but we still have a few. All three of these sizes run larger than you might think they will be, so be sure to send Santa over to try one on.

Lots of Changes going on!
Thank you for your steadfast support of Beauty and the Beast. I’m not sure what happened, but I will lovingly joke that the super heavy traffic during Halloween overwhelmed this site. It is back up and running, as well as it ever did and I will try to get it all updated ASAP. Hang in there.
We have sold out of a large number of Clearance styles that need to be deleted. Since our main supplier has gone through a great many changes over the last year, we are running extremely low on Marvel, Star Wars, and Harry Potter licensed costumes as well as our favorite fashions from the North Pole. Fear Not! Necessity is the mother of invention, and I am one tough little mother. I have reestablished relationships with Morris Costumes in order to bring in NEW styles of Halco brand Santa suits, vests, hats; and re-stock the superior quality Lacy Wig brand Santa Claus wigs and beards.
It’s HALLOWEEN!
