Fantasy Frocks Costumes is a beloved, family-owned business that has proudly served the Bakersfield community since 1980. Founded by Jennifer Keller, the shop was built on a passion for creativity, theatrical arts, and personal service. For over four decades, Jennifer grew the business into a trusted local resource before passing it on to her son and daughter-in-law in 2022. Today, Fantasy Frocks continues to thrive under the same family values, offering a one-of-a-kind costume experience rooted in tradition, quality, and care. Our unusual and eclectic inventory is one that was amassed over nearly 5 decades of collecting, sewing and purchasing other costume shops. Every production we costume for college, high school and local theaters continually adds to our immense collection of quality theatrical costumes and accessories. We rent full costume plots for traditional plays and musicals such as Oklahoma, Sound of Music, Big River, Cabaret, Anne Frank, Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Wizard of Oz, La Cage, Grease, Adams Family, and anything Shakespearean, just to name a few. In addition, we offer extensive vintage and reproduction costuming, Halloween rentals from Astronauts to Zorros, and Tuxes and Beaded Gown for Masquerade and formal occasions. Mascots are popular year-round, while we offer holiday rentals such as Bunnies, Santas and costumes for Church productions. As a full-service costume shop, Fantasy Frocks was one of the first dealers of Ben Nye Makeup. We stock wigs, masks, hosiery, weaponry, retail costumes, and selected props and accessories for the DIY costumers. We are willing to sell the business in its entirety, or the inventory. Thank you so much for allowing us to present a glimpse of why Fantasy Frocks has been a special place to procure costumes and accessories since 1980.
