I discovered this company (chasing-fireflies.com) a few years ago when my mom passed along their print catalog she had received in the mail. My girls loved to look through the pages at all the fanciful and interesting costumes. I was relieved that I could trust my girls with this company’s catalog of modest costumes because so many costume resources display the cutesy “adult” costumes right alongside the costumes for kids.
Wow–was I hooked! Chasing Fireflies’ costumes look incredible. They have a 75 page catalog showing a large assortment of family friendly, age appropriate boutique costumes. Prices range from $29.50 for an infant pirate costume to a wickedly gorgeous evil queen costume that goes from a girl’s size 6 ($98.50) up to a women’s size 24/26 for $148.50. This may seem like an investment, but that’s exactly what it is. These costumes are built to last well past the first Halloween party and depending on the costume, many include 2 to 6 pieces, such as a mask, cape, belt or leg warmers so you get big bang for your buck.
Though I have not purchased a costume from Chasing Fireflies it seems that they are much higher quality costumes because of the attention to detail and design. They have trims, embellishments, and fabrics that are not available on most costumes from typical retailers. The hems look properly folded over and finished which keeps them from shredding and running. Many of the girl costume hems are even finished off with feathers, lace, or sequin trim. Some costumes such as the police office, knight, and firefighter include personalization. Multiple accessories available including shoes, jewelry, or treat bags really take the costume over the top!
I ran across the following two Chasing Fireflies Videos on YouTube and though they are from a few seasons ago, it shows a sampling of their product in action. I love the behind-the-scenes look at things, so it’s kind of fun to sneak into their photo shoots…
