Costumes for any occasion

Our store is filled with a variety of costumes, accessories, wigs, make-up, and more to get into character.

Where dressing up is fun! At least that’s how we like to look at it.

The satisfaction is when someone comes out of the dressing room and they are acting like the character they’re dressed it. It’s really fun to watch.

We are a family owned business established in 1984.

We started out selling vintage clothing and transformed into one of the best retail and rental costume shops in the San Gabriel Valley.

A Journey Through Time and Style

Undeniably one of Downtown Arcadia’s most quirky shops, Pok-A-Dots Costumes has a fun history.

Carie Nuss started the business when she was only 18 years old drawing inspiration from her mother’s disco-era adventures.

While growing up in the 1970s, Carie’s mom Arlene, was quite the fashionista at the local disco scene and sold vintage clothing from the trunk of her car to fellow disco enthusiasts. Eventually, she set up shop at the Rose Bowl Flea Market with Carie by her side.

After graduating Arcadia High in 1983 …
