At Just Imagine we are dedicated to providing the finest dressup play costumes, to inspire families, and provide endless fun.

Donna Dobo, Owner and Co-Founder


JUST IMAGINE®…Fun Clothing

was incorporated in 1988 by sisters Donna Dobo and Sharon Edelmeier, who began designing a line of play capes for their own preschoolers.

But capes were just the beginning! It wasn’t long before families, preschools, daycares, play therapists and other child-centred businesses were stocking their dressup boxes with Just Imagine’s fantastic dramatic playwear. Now the costumes are sourced from all over the world to bring the current trends into Just Imagine's shops first year round.

The treasures from Just Imagine have the power to balance young lives, while the digital world is literally teasing away quality playtime. Providing a tickle trunk for kids brings them back into their imaginations, and it unites children of different ages and backgrounds. Costume-play builds up communication skills and relieves stress. It is a unique experience for everyone, and to have fun is the only rule!

Just Imagine’s first retail store opened in 1990.

In 2005, Donna expanded to a gorgeous new custom designed space complete with a performance stage and vintage theatre seating. Just Imagine is now centrally located on West Broadway and has become known as Vancouver’s only family friendly costume shop with sizes for the whole family.

A new boutique just for children, opened in the Kids Market on Granville Island in 2009, just in time for the Olympic Games. As well, Just Imagine is shipping costumes around the world from dressups.com.

In addition to the world’s finest costumes you’ll find a huge assortment for all the fun things kids today enjoy. Just Imagine brings together dancewear and shoes for ballet tap, jazz and gym. It has become tradition to bring children to Just Imagine for their first dance shoe fitting, and their first twirl on the stage.

Just Imagine also stocks adorable designs for flower girls and special occasion gowns for girls. Custom orders are reliable and welcome. Just Imagine has the best quality and price on suits and tuxedo's for little boys.

Special occasions are affordable and adorable at Just Imagine!

“ The imaginative play is endless when the children in our school-age programme put on Just Imagine’s dressup clothes. I have shopped there for years, and have been very impressed with the variety, quality and durability of their costumes.”
