The final curtain call for Rosie's Costumes 😢

Thank you to everyone who has already taken a piece of Rosie's Costumes home to keep her magic alive 🫶 we (her family) feel so happy knowing her costumes are getting one last show and giving Rosie's Costumes the send off it deserves.

This Saturday is your last chance to do this (details below).

💜💜💜💜💜💜

In 2023 Rosie suddenly passed away at just 58 years young after suffering an aneurysm. Her unexpected death left her family facing an incredibly difficult question: what happens to Rosie’s Costumes now?

For the past two years, we have explored ways to keep our mum’s legacy alive. But the truth became clear… no one could do Rosie’s Costumes quite like Rosie did. Her eye for detail, her creativity, and the care she poured into every costume simply couldn’t be replicated.

With heavy hearts, the decision has been made to permanently close the business. However, it was important to us that her pride and joy — the costumes themselves — didn’t simply disappear. Instead of selling the business as a whole, we have chosen to “rehome” the costumes individually, allowing members of the community to own a piece of Rosie’s legacy and give the costumes one last show.

Thanks to everyone who came to Rosie's Costumes closing down sale. BUT GUESS WHAT! We still have some left that we would love to re home.

So this is it... you're last chance. We've cut the price even further to just $10 per costume for any of the remaining costumes that weren't grabbed in the first sale.

Honestly, this is cheaper than anything you will get online for an amazing one of a kind costume made with love by Rosie herself.

We would love it if you would share this post to get the word out about the last clearance sale ever for Rosie's Costumes.
