What does 2nd choice mean? B-grade costumes with minor defects

2nd-choice goods, also known as B-grade goods, are new and unworn. They only have a minor defect that prevents them from being sold at the regular price: damaged or missing original packaging, an open seam, a print that is not perfectly centered, or a slight abrasion mark. We also want to give these costumes a new home, which is why you will find our 2nd-choice costumes with genuine savings in this category.

What you find here is constantly changing, from carnival costumes and hats to wings and Halloween outfits. Take a look around - the best pieces are usually gone quickly. 

2nd-choice costumes for Carnival, Mardi Gras and costume parties

This is where carnival costumes and costume-party items from all themes end up: top hats in red, blue, pink and green, the monk's robe with bald wig, the Bottle Cinderella fun costume for the men's ballet performance, the roulette plate skirt for the casino party, the guitar costume for disco and glam rock, the champagne dress for New Year's Eve and the Suffman costume for bachelor parties and festivals. If you only need a costume for one evening, a 2nd-choice costume is an excellent choice.

2nd-choice Halloween costumes and reduced decorations

Who says a Halloween costume has to be perfect? The spooky festival likes to show its dark side, with frayed trouser legs, torn capes and bent hats. A skeleton jumpsuit or the skull dress for girls with a minor flaw fit right in, especially with fake blood and special-effects makeup. Decorations are also worth a look: an animated jumping spider for the front yard costs significantly less as a 2nd-choice item.

Reduced 2nd-choice accessories, wigs and hats

In addition to affordable complete costumes, you will find mainly accessories here, often at the lowest price. Butterfly wings for adults, alien headbands with wobbly eyes, the rhinestone ski goggles for the chalet party, top hats and wigs: small items that complete a look. The selection changes regularly because we only offer individual pieces. So feel free to stop by more often. If you see something you like, grab it, otherwise it will be gone quickly. One or two little treasures await you, and of course other people will want them too.

2nd-choice costumes for children and adults

B-grade costumes are especially worthwhile for children. By next spring, the little ones will have outgrown the costume and will want to wear something else anyway. For adults, another argument matters: you pay less for the costume and have more budget left for a wig, makeup and a party ticket. This category is also a good starting point for groups and bachelor parties, as well as for plus sizes, since men's costumes are available here up to 3XL.

Kostümpalast expert tip on 2nd-choice costumes

On stage, in a parade or in a group photo, hardly anyone will notice a stain on the hem. Open seams can easily be fixed yourself with a needle and thread in two minutes. Creases in the fabric usually disappear if you lightly spray it with water and let it dry on a hanger.
