costume warehouse

The last physical store that I went to is Pierre Silber, but this is actually a warehouse. In regular days, this shop sells lingeries, but on Halloween, the warehouse was filled with piles of costumes that people can choose from. I was amazed with the varieties of costumes they sell. People could picked costumes from the pictures that they hung around the store. For example:

As you can see from the pictures, women outfits were mostly categorized with the word 'sexy'. On the other hand, these are only 2 of the posters they showed on the wall, there're around 7 more and they offer similar type of costumes.

From all 6 stores I visited physically,  I can conclude that women are sexualized due to the lack of options for scary or funny costumes.
