Costume rentals in Toronto

I am asking this on behalf of a friend. Does anybody know of any good costume rental places in Toronto? She is looking for plus size ladies' costumes for Halloween.

Malabar. It's on... McCaul, I think, just north of Queen.

There's also a place called, believe it or not, Thunder Thighs. I forget the location. It's more of a costume place for filmmakers but they might rent regular costumes as well.

I second Malabar. Dobbs nailed it.

It's right next to Penguin Records (also a great place), and down the street from the Ontario College of Art and Design and the AGO.

Malabar has a site online. Strangely enough the ommit the store in Montreal.

Thunder thighs is right behind the Value Village on Queen St. East. I think it's Busy street, but anyway, near Carlaw and Queen E. They rent to regular people too. (I had to get a pilot's uniform once)
