About

Supplying Fancy Dress Costumes, Dance Wear and Accessories for Adults and Children children since 1981.

With a burning passion for all things related to Costume and Dance Wear, Carole Hurst founded Arabesque Fancy Dress and Dance Wear in 1981.

Over the years, our business has quickly earned its spot as the most trusted Dance Wear & Fancy Dress shop in the Essex & the East London area.

ARABESQUE

Arabesque Dance Wear and Fancy Dress was established in 1981 when there were few other similar facilities around. Today, after 45 years, we still hold ourselves as one of the best in the UK.

Unfortunately, Arabesque Dance Wear and Fancy Dress no longer operates any physical stores. Like many independent retailers, we were impacted by the growth of large online competitors, which ultimately led us to focus away from traditional brick-and-mortar locations.

And it’s not just fancy dress. We supply a huge range of wigs, plus fancy dress, masks, hats, right through to professional stage make up. It’s the place to be…ARABESQUE…the best in FANCY DRESS. Arabesque has been here for over thirty years. We are a family run business and will always offer the best service.

Why shop at Arabesque?

Because of our decades of experience in selling and renting Fancy Dress Costumes, we get to see and feel the products we offer. We use this experience to pick what we believe are the best quality costumes and accessories to put on our website, and to make sure all our clients are totally satisfied with their costumes.
