The women in these pictures all have model-type bodies.”
While Lawrence left the store empty-handed, Miller, 29, picked up a “Courageous Lion Cutie” ensemble. She was sure to try it on before she paid — since all sales are final at the store.

Many of the shop’s costumes are not for the modest. Customers browsing the racks will see skin-tight, shorter versions of police uniforms, superhero costumes and fairy gowns.
“I’ve heard it a hundred times,” Schmitt said. “Girls will come in here and say, ‘Halloween is my one night to wear whatever I want and get away with it.’”

“I’d probably recommend a men’s costume or one of these cow costumes here,It's no longer something women wear to make a statement.

“I was a pirate,” she said, smiling. “I don’t know why these short costumes are so popular. It’s cold here!”
