Step inside this legendary shop full of handmade costumes while you still can
Briefly

Ursula Boschet, the 90-year-old owner of a legendary costume shop, attributes its decline to online shopping and high operational costs, leading to its permanent closure.
Boschet's journey began at 14 in post-war Germany, where she learned tailoring. After immigrating to the U.S. in 1962, she became a renowned costume designer.
Despite planning her retirement, Boschet fondly remembers her store's vibrancy and hopes to celebrate one last Halloween before closing its doors.
Ursula recalls a time when costumes were in large demand: 'There are still hundreds of handmade costumes,' emphasizing the skill and tradition behind her creations.
