Information about our security labels
We would like to inform you that, for quality assurance purposes, we attach a security tag to our products. The tags are placed in clearly visible locations, so the products can only be worn or used after the tags have been cut off. The tags do not interfere with trying on the products. This ensures that every customer receives only unworn products from us.
All items being shipped are checked by us beforehand for completeness and defects.
Additional information for businesses
Commercial customers generally have no right to return goods.
Would you like to use our costumes for commercial purposes? Please note that our licensed costumes may not be used publicly for sales promotion. The licensors expressly prohibit this and have any misconduct challenged by lawyers. If you wish to use licensed merchandise at a public commercial event, you must obtain permission from the respective license holder. Please also ensure that you do not publish images online showing licensed costumes or licensed accessories from our range if you operate a commercial website.

Haven’t you received an order confirmation?
Haven’t you received an order confirmation?
This may be due to the following:
- The email address was entered incorrectly when placing the order.
- Your inbox is full, so the order confirmation could not be delivered.
- The order confirmation was filtered as spam. Please check there first. The folder may be called “Spam,” “Junk mail,” or “Unwanted emails.”
- The order may not actually have been submitted because you registered as a new customer but did not complete the order. Please check your shopping cart: If the items are still there, your order has not been completed.
To resend the confirmation, we need the correct email address. Please send a brief email to info@kostuempalast.de with the name used for the order. We will then send you a copy of the order confirmation immediately. If paying by bank transfer, please be sure to include your Internet order number.

General Questions
Item availability
Item availability
Due to unpaid orders, many items are in stock but cannot be ordered because they are reserved for another customer. Orders that have not been paid within 7 days are released for online sale again. As a result, items that were temporarily unavailable regularly become available again.
Especially during the peak season (January/February), a large number of items are in circulation due to numerous orders placed for selection, meaning that large quantities of costumes are temporarily unavailable. Click the “NOTIFY ME” link as soon as the item is available for delivery again, or check back regularly—there is a good chance that some items will soon become available again.
You placed an order—but now the item is “no longer available”?
You placed an order—but now the item is “no longer available”?
If you were able to place an order, there was certainly only one item left in stock. The item was marked “only a few left.” Since you were able to complete the order, the item is now reserved for you and can no longer be ordered by other customers. That is why the item is then displayed as “no longer available.”
What does one size fit all mean?
What does one size fit all mean?
One size means that the manufacturer does not offer different sizes, but only one standard size. It is intended to fit several sizes. We provide the more precise measurements or sizes, which may be S-M, L-XL, or 40-42. It is best to measure a garment from your wardrobe while it is lying flat. This will help ensure that the item you order fits properly.
