DOES HALLOWEEN BRING OUT YOUR COMPETITIVE NATURE?
3 Insanely Expensive Costumes
1. ELVIS: $1,365 You’ll need money , honey , if you want to dress like Elvis. Coming in as the most expensive costume on Amazon, the Elvis Aloha costume is magnificent and ornate. It comes with a silky red scarf, a luscious black wig, and a fully rhinestone-studded belt. If Halloween brings out the competitive side of you, and you want to preserve your elaborate or ornate costume to impress future audiences, we encourage you to bring it by Janet Davis Cleaners for dry cleaning. Of course, we know that not all costumes can be dry cleaned, but if you are unsure whether yours should be (or even if the inside label says not to), feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We can help you keep rocking these awesome ensembles for years to come.
Nowadays, it seems that one of the most common (and expensive) ways people commemorate Halloween is by trying to best one another in a battle for the coolest and most creative costume. Some of these costumes are rather splendiferous, involving a floor-length ball gown and a wig made of actual human hair. Others are more intricate, requiring the wearer to assemble a plethora of separate pieces. If you buy one of Amazon’s three most expensive costumes, our team at Janet Davis Cleaners can help you preserve your dazzling ensemble! 3. SUPERMAN: $950 It costs much more to dress as this alien strongman than it does to don the garb of any other superhero. Luckily, if you spend over $900 trying to outdo all your friends this
Halloween, the ab muscles are included.
2. STORMTROOPER: $1,050 Because they are some of the most iconic characters from the Star Wars universe, dressing as a Stormtrooper is not cheap. In 2011, damaged parts from one of the original films’ suits were auctioned off for $320,000. Now you can buy a full replica costume for a little over a thousand bucks!
