I just came across the coolest costume shop I have ever been in! It's located in downtown Plano TX and is called Treasure Box, or some people know it as Dallas Vintage Shop. They have vintage clothing & costumes from just about any decade, century, and era you can think of. They have so much merchandise that the store is jam packed in every nook and cranny ... and there is even stuff hanging from the ceiling. I had a blast digging around in there, and found some really great Halloween costumes for the entire family.

If you're looking for a unique Halloween costume, this is definitely the best place to shop! Their website is www.dallasvintageshop.com and thet have photos of costumes other people have put together that will help give you a lot of ideas for a costume. If you already have an idea in mind, it might help to bring a photo with you or write down your idea so the folks working there can help you find all the pieces to complete your ensemble.

Taken from their website: "From Glamour to Trailer Trash, from Flintstones to Jetsons, from Pirates to Gangsters, from Pioneers to Pimps. We got it!"

I talked one of the ladies working in the store, and it turns out that Dallas Vintage Shop has quite an interesting story. It was originally named Treasure Box and opened in Feb 2000 as a fundraiser organization for Servants for Christ, International (SFC). They supplied clothing, shoes, computers, and even cash, to multiple outlets such as churches, orphanages, shelters and individuals for about 10 years.

Word soon started to spread and donations came in much faster than they were prepared for, and they were soon overwhelmed with merchandise. A kind hearted businessman heard about the good work they were doing and provided the funding for them to open a thrift store with their overflowing abundance of merchandise. That is how Treasure Box Benefit Thrift got started.

Takeaways
  • Best place to shop for Halloween costume.
  • Vintage clothing and accessories from any era you can think of.
  • If you love vintage, you will love this shop.

It sounds like a fun store. I live in New York, but my fiance's family lives in Texas, so I will definitely check it out the next time that I am over there. Great job :-)
