Adel’s Of Hollywood

Last minute desperation for a Halloween costume — check out Adel’s. It was packed but they managed to give me personal service and find me everything I needed. Super nice people there and they’ve got a huge selection in that space!

It’s our third year using Adele’s services. Adele’s personal are just the most efficient, professional and kind people I ever met we all know how crazy things gets around the holidays but they can manage any situation with a smile. I’m very thankful to have Adele’s crew on my side.

Great place with a large variety of costumes. They’re very helpful and will help you find whatever you need!

Being the procrastinator I am, I waited until the day before Halloween to look for costumes. I already tried Spirit, but I wasn’t too happy with their mass-​produced selection. Adele’s seemed to be a favorite among Unilocalers, so I decided to check it out. I’m so glad I did.
Parking: street. I didn’t have too much trouble finding parking. There’s street and residential parking nearby.
Adele’s is located on the 2^nd floor. Prepared to be overwhelmed as soon as you walk in. It’s literally a maze of costumes. I definitely lost my way a couple of times. They have genuine, vintage costumes for rental or purchase, and they also have your commercially mass-​produced costumes in a bag as well. They have TONS of separate pieces like masks, props, make-​up, etc. I ended up buying multiple items to put together a costume because I wanted to be a little bit more creative.
Customer service was pretty good, considering how hectic and demanding people were. I have no complaints about the service and no regrets about having gone to Adele’s. By far, they have the largest selection of costumes and props that I’ve seen, including full body mascot costumes.
A couple minor complaints: (1) the skeleton gloves I bought did fall apart as soon as I took them out of the bag, but hey… they were cheap, and I think they were aged. I just glued them back together, so no biggie. (2) it is quite dusty in the store, but for the number of costumes crammed into a tiny store. it’s expected.
If your goal is to look for a store that will give you a large selection of costumes, Adele’s will suffice.

I love Adele and the whole family. She can make anything. They specialize in dressing all if the television and movie real bearded Santas. Adele’s has anything your heart desires. Don’t get intimidated by the clutter. It’s only that way because there is too much awesome to fit into that space. If you don’t know what you want, talk to the girls and they will make your costuming dreams come true. This place is such a special gem. Enjoy.

This place was very unfriendly, Just because I wasn’t sure what I wanted, the lady got annoyed and left me in a section of costumes I did not even want it. and walked away and all the other ladies there, keep looking at me like if I was going to steal something. I asked a couple of questions and she just said, «this is your first time here, no wonder».
I was going with the intention to buy 7 costumes for my wife and friends, but left disappointing taste in my mouth. I would never go back and will never recommend a place like this. Costumes are supposed to be fun to shop, wear and show… Horrible experience.

I’ve actually been here on multiple LA visits. Great selection, good customer service and I love the selection of wigs. Price is good as well.

My boyfriend and I have been searching for a perfect Halloween costume and we were pleasantly surprised with not only their selection but also their helpfulness! The staff was kind and friendly. We will be shopping here every year from now on!

I do NOT get snarky comments here. What do people want Target? This is an LA find. A second floor costume shop with something to catch the eye whereever you turn. I’m so glad they exist. how often do you need a costume, except when YOU really need one. Like when my daughter’s school has super hero day and she tells you the day before which costume she wants. Could not find in a store and no time to order. Found this place on Unilocal and called and a super nice lady found the costume and a wig to go with it. Race across town before they closed with minutes. We get there and she said, «don’t worry, we were waiting for you». They have some vintage costume and accessories, vintage costume jewelery. Check it out! Great place to take kids.

I have been to Adele’s many times and they always have what I need. Even in a pinch, they come through with the prop or costume you need for your sketch or film.

Everyone at this place was super nice and helpful, especially Adele and Nadia. I was trying to put together a costume semi-​last minute and they showed me different options, held pieces for me, and showed me everything they had to offer. Not a lot of sizes available, but I appreciated the assistance nevertheless. I’ll definitely be back next Halloween!

This place really needs to update their costumes.
Imagine this: racks of 1980’s quality costumes, just rotting on the racks.
There’s absolutely no place to walk around in the store.
If you’re claustrophobic, this is your worst nightmare.
Don’t shop here during the Halloween season. Go to Halloween Town in Burbank, or any Party City.
I won’t lie though, once in a while, you can find the «right» costume you’re looking for, for a reasonable price.

Welcome to your creepy uncle’s attic. Dusty, stale-​smelling, and a clusterfu** of nicknacks, costumes, wigs, etc.
The only reason they get 3 stars here is because the staff is resourceful and you can find nearly a hundred weird costumes for rent or purchase.
It’s clear that organization and cleanliness are not top priorities at this store. But if you need that out-​dated outfit, wig, or prop, by all means, indulge in the filth.

WOW! i just called and Adele and she was so nice! I have a premier to go to for the great Gatsby and she’s opening the store for me! I cant wait to get there to see her beautiful beaded dresses! I’m so excited! She is so VERY NICE!!!

Adele’s of Hollywood is a place with tons of fun costumes! I was looking all over for crown of thorns crown for a school play. Called so many places and Bam Adele’s had it. Last one! Whew. I spoke to a staff and she was very helpful and also held the crown.
This place is a little hard to find if your looking eye level for a business. It is actually on the 2^nd floor. Place is above George lighting plus. You can NOT take any photos once inside. Friendly young lady. She even saved what I requested! Now that is awesome.
You come in and your overwhelmed with so many costumes. You want to just try on all of them. You want to look at everything. They have so many things to choose from. You can rent to buy the costumes. They even have accessories for the costumes. You will find costumes from infant to adults. Awesome!
So if your looking for costumes check out Adele’s

My first time going into this store to shop for a costume. Good place for rental costume (because lets face it we want to dress differently every Halloween). When I went in there the lady who works there greeted and ask me what kind of costume am I looking for and I told her that I would like rent one and she showed the types that are available. I told her I wanted a bear costume and so she went in the storage area and pulled me up a bear costume. Tried it on and it fits perfectly for me as I am large person. Unfortunately as Halloween is approaching I know that more costumes got sold out or rented out and had to settle for a honey bear outfit instead of my intended grizzly bear outfit– I wanted to be «Conan’s» «Masturbating Bear».
Overall the service is great, the people who work here were very helpful. The place might look all cramp if you go inside but if you know what you are looking for, ask the people who work there what you want and they will grab it for you– they have their own system of keeping things organize.
The other thing that I learned is don’t wait one week before Halloween to get your costume. Get it at least two weeks before the big day that way the costume that you actually do want should be available and if not gives more options.

3.5 Stars averaged up.
The material I rented was high quality. The Phantom mask was made of Plaster of Paris and painted silver. The cape was made of heavy duchess satin and was floor length.
The lady who helped me look for a costume and decide on one was very very helpful and very nice.
But the place is VERY cramped and it was hard to look for anything in there. They do have a system set up and they have sections for everything. Example, they have the pre-​packaged costumes you would see at most Halloween stores for sale in one section, the medieval section, western, Greek, scary, etc.
They gave me 6 days to return the costume! That’s really nice!
It’s really expensive. $ 39 to rent a mask and a cape.

My 100^th review! Waawaaweewa what an accomplishment.
Ok, done celebrating now. On with the review! This place was a last minute gift from the heavens during Halloween weekend, but they seriously have all sorts of costumes + decorations for any event you could possibly be attending. A bit of a clusterf*k but not difficult to navigate on your own. Yes, they have rentals as well as items for purchase so that can ease your spending a bit. Lots of childrens items, too, in case you got some little ones. Suits, full animal costumes (furry?), medieval dresses, a whole room just for hats, and shelves full of tights/​leggings. NO underwear or undergarments though so get those somewhere else. Friendly service. Will be back for sure!
Street parking only, but lots avail.

This is the only costume shop in Hollywood that I can depend on for reasonable prices, good quality, and fantastic service. Hidden away in the upstairs part of an old 1930s building, Adele’s has been the best costume shop in town since 1945. I have gotten many costumes of my childhood here and when I saw them pop up on my Unilocal app, I was absolutely thrilled that they were still alive and well.
Family owned and operated, this hidden gem may look like a big olé’ mess on the inside, but each and every employee knows exactly where every type of costume is. Whether it is for a rental or to purchase, Adele’s has a large selection for kids, teens, and adults, and they’re open all year round, too. Prices aren’t dirt cheap, but are fair– as the quality of many of their costumes is a little nicer than what you would get at Target. What I love about Adele’s is that you never leave home empty handed. Sure, there are fancier places that have better selections for masks and make-​up, but for the average costume party, they’ve got you covered.
Aside from their vast selection, they also carry many sizes and let you fit them in a fitting room. Rental prices start at $ 40 (and go up depending on quality of costume), while costumes to purchase start at $ 15 and onward. The average adult sized costume runs about $ 30 – 50. Not bad, considering the $ 20 adult costumes elsewhere are a little fragile and can only be worn once or twice. Don’t be discouraged if you fall in love with something but the rack doesn’t have your size… they will most likely have it in the back!

Why the 3 stars? The people working there stare at you like you are a criminal stealing from them. I liked the selection (think huge costume store but better than Party City– much more accessories, if you were just needing a few things to complete your outfit), but jeez, stop creeping me out. Even my father-​in-​law didn’t like the feeling he was getting from these people. The worst of them was the middle-​aged fellow wearing glasses and had a mustache (kind of a nerdy type but who could turn out to be an axe murderer), who kept glaring at me, the whole time when I was in his sight. It was really annoying. Also, some of the items looked like they were sitting there a while since there was dust on the plastic wrapping/​packaging. A handheld feather duster would do the job just fine.
I don’t know if I would want to shop there after that intense unwanted accusing staring (I hate staring to begin with).

I am both sad and embarrassed to say that I lived within walking distance of this place for almost 5.5 years and never went in until recently. The reason? I couldn’t find the entrance that is basically right in front of your face… heh. :D
Verdict? Fantastic! It’s small, but what it lacks for in size it makes up for in extreme tetris style shelf packing.
If you’re claustrophobic, this isn’t the place for you. but if you want to find anything from rentals to props to real costumes to porno style costumes, they have it!
Oh…and for you Santacon folks out there, they tout the best selection of Santa suits for all your debauchery needs!
