Costumes Morris Costumes is definitely a place you should check out. They have 3 locations in Charlotte: 9015 JM Keynes Drive which is in the University area, 8124 Providence Rd which is in the Arboretum, and 4300 Monroe Rd which is around the Plaza-Midwood area.  They have a very large selection of costumes, and a wide assortment of props, wigs, kits, and makeup to make your costume one of a kind!  They even have costumes for your pet!  Check out http://www.morriscostumes.com Ladies, The Red Door Store store has that sexy costume you are looking for!  They"ve got over 1000 costumes ranging from Naughty School Girl to Dirty Pirate Hooker and everything in between!  Check out the "Dirty Martini" costume!
