Halloween is coming soon, summer often means ‘dress-up parties’, and there is simply no season nor occasion where a natty soldier outfit doesn’t go down an absolute treat.

With all that those stone cold facts front of mind, Opera Australia’s upcoming massive costume clearance sale is sounding mighty good, with over two thousand “retired” costumes going on sale, with prices starting at $2 (and presumably going up from there).

“There’ll be (fake) blood-spattered costumes, suits of armour from the middle ages and military style coats, lots of period costumes and amazing hats”, the FB page explains.

“At the other end of the spectrum, there’s plenty of 80’s style dresses and 60’s inspired outfits, bright and colourful chorus costumes and also store bought items of everyday clothing that need to go!”

The sale happens on Saturday October 21 and Sunday October 22 from 10-4 each day, at 66 Euston Road, Alexandria.
