Evangeline's — Local services in Sacramento

Need a cowboy costume just because you want to wear one using your lawn mower on Sunday or a witches costume to wear to your business meeting? Whatever you need, Evangline's is there to help! This is located in downtown Sacramento in the midst of other shops. Evangline's is comprised of four gigantic floors. First floor has practical joke merchandise and toys for children like minecraft, guns, dinosaurs. They have cutsie girly stuff. There is a rave/black light accessory room where you can dance a little while looking at neat little UV items. Then when you cross over to the other room you will find seasonal stuff in the front of the room depending of what holiday it is. You'll see on the wall they will have swords, video game, anime weapons. They also have an anime corner. You got the steam punk section also for those of you wondering. Then you got a room which is 18+ which is not for the kiddies people. It includes sensual gifts/items/toys!

Second floor which can be reached by stairs or elevator has a couple more things on that level which includes more swords, cowboy, wild west items, masks, goth, vampire, army, police, vikings, Greek, pirate, Persian themed costumes and accessories. Now there is another little area which is also for the adults but unfortunately this place has no clue or warning it is not for the kiddos so don't let little Timmy witness boobie coverings!

Third floor has moulin rouge, mermaid, fairy tale, clown and much more costumes and accessories.

forth floor is more of the era costumes which include 60's,70's,80's,90's and even 2000's costumes and accessories. They also have a giant selection of wigs that are pretty high quality.

Even if I love this place, some things are ridiculously expensive but it's still a great place overall and the only costume place where there are high quality items unlike the Spirits paper costumes. If you come here for the first time, you will probably spend about 2 to 3 hours here if you explore...

This 2022 season, they've DOUBLED their selection of GREAT Halloween Masks. If you've ever worn one, you know they're 🔥HOT🔥! The remedy for that, is to use sharp scissors to cut holes in the mask, for ventilation. Most of our body heat escapes through the top of our heads.🤯 If you "cap that off" with rubber that doesn't breath, the heat will circulate around & continue to get hotter as it slowly cooks your brain as if it was in a microwave until it can find some other way to escape. Cut the mask around the eyes, for better Vision. Cut the nostril holes bigger and the mouth except for the teeth, lips and tongue, (if there is one). Anywhere that's painted black or unnecessary, cut out. Even behind the ears cut that off! If you can see your face thru the holes you just made, you can take black T-shirt material or something else thin, that you can breathe through, but not see-through and glue it on the inside of the Mask over the holes. OR, you can cover your face with black grease paint with (translucent powder) or, baby powder to set it, so it doesn't rub off. Then no one can see your face. I also recommend wearing a bandana on your forehead to keep any sweat from running into your eyes. I have been known to cut the entire top, AND back, off the mask if it's not necessary or seen from the front. You can install elastic straps to hold it on. Masks are great for quick scares of the neighbors and kids. Also, if you work in a Haunted House Attraction. HAPPY...

Evangeline's has been one of my favorite places in Sac for years. As a person who enjoys alternative fashion and cosplaying, it's always been my go to place. I have never had any issues with employee's EVER at this store. Everyone seems to be very inviting and helpful. What caught me off guard was I was clearly being followed/watched at the store during my visit that day. I work retail and I completely 100% know that the tall curly haired man was doing. I was casually shopping walking around the ground floor. I walked into the secondary section of the store where they mostly keep birthday cards and other gag gifts. When I moved he moved. I walked back into the other section and what do you know ! Mr.Curly hair man quickly follows despite having cashier already there. When my boyfriend finally got back from paying the parking meter thats when it all changed and he stoped following me. For crying out loud I had a clear purse! After all of that I payed and left very disappointed. I get that LP is important but you never make it that obvious! More importantly to a customer that has been loyal to the store...
