The Story

When Kim was a little girl, she and her friend were going dress up as witches one Halloween. Her friend's mom made a nice costume, Kim's Mom got her a plastic one. She was heartbroken, and told her Mom she'd never do that to her kid.
So when Kim's daughter Alice came along, Kim's Mom reminded her of what she had said. Kim made a costume for Alice. And some of Kim's friends asked her to make costumes for their kids. Kim made them, and the friends gave them back to her when they were done with them. And Kim made some for her other kids.
Kim ended up with a pretty good pile of costumes. She was working at a resale shop at the time, and made a deal with the owner: Kim had one rack of the resale shop for the month of October to rent out her costumes, for a percentage of the rental fee.
A few years later, the resale shop closed. And an actress in a local theater group needed a dress made. Soon Kim was making costumes for the theater group on a regular basis. Kim and the theater group decided to open a theater with a costume shop in the back. Kim and her husband turned an empty storefront into that theater and shop, and Kim's Costumes was in business. Soon Kim's Costumes outgrew the space and moved to a larger facility. Kim's Costumes soon outgrew that space and (with a couple of stops on the way) here we are!
