^Yes, it is - unfortunately the prices here are insane - almost the double of the UK price.

They're exactly the double of US prices. I got a corrector from Bobbi Brown (this one had saved my life!), and I paid $42 (€29/£26) - it's $22 in the US!

This is what I bought at the recent MTC Costume Sale in Melbourne. It was really well priced but also packed and overwhelming! I'm really happy with my purchases, but I do wish I could have carried more!


This jacket for AUD$20

Slip for 50 cents (really love this fabric)

Some cute blouses for $5 each. My favourite part about these (despite the fact they are easy to wear) is they have the actor's name and play written inside.

Hair piece for $5

Collars for 50cents each!

And this was my one crazy purchase - it is a strange vest/neckpiece made from leather discs with a woven rope and wood bead collar. One of the discs is embossed with a pirate skull so I assume the character was a pirate! I have no idea if I will wear it but it was too good to pass up for $10

All photos my own.

[Guessgirl96]

I just got mine repaired. They're actually very comfertable and easy to wakl in because of the platform, just make sure not to pull too tight on the strap or it may rip off like mine did.
