This Halloween we’re celebrating all things spidery with an ’80’s new romantic twist. ‘Mel Muffet & The Spidettes,’ are here to style your ultimate Halloween fancy dress costume to hire or buy. The best costume shop in Sydney has been transformed into a giant spider’s nest in anticipation and we’ll be expanding into a temporary outdoor retail space on the day.
Our Surry Hills store has limited capacity so visit us early to avoid the queues. Otherwise you can buy online from us on the world wide web. And yes, that’s a spider pun.

You’re thinking of hiring a costume but, germs. We get it. So here’s what we do:
– Cleaning, lots of it. Everything is washed, sterilised and steam cleaned in our store so we guarantee it’s Covid-free.
– We wear protective gear when handling costumes – we don’t want the bug either.
– All hire costumes that are worn, even just a try-on in the shop, are cleaned and quarantined for 48 hours before being hired.
– Also: private appointments, please make one if you’d rather not share the shop with other customers.
– Delivery: book before 3pm and we deliver hire costumes at no extra charge within 10km of the Sydney CBD the same day.
Welcome to a gallery featuring a small selection of the hire costumes we have in-store.
In the backstreets of Surry Hills behind a roller door lurks a strange, almost mythical beast: a costume hire shop in the age of online shopping.
For over ten years Melanie Adam has fancy dressed thousands of customers at Snog the Frog. In 2017 things took a sharp left turn when Mel suddenly became the owner.
Snog the Frog has been a mainstay of costume shopping for making the pre-party a party. We still love the ridiculousness of dressing up. It’s silly and that’s OK.
Man, woman, child and everything in between, we’re here to help you find your ideal costume or even just that perfect accessory to complete your own invention. We also provide full make-up services. Come and play dressups with us.
