prices for the costumes used in the parades vary greatly depending on a number of factors.

as a rule of thumb, samba schools in the access group offer costumes with lower prices than schools in the special group, that are normally more famous.

within each school, different wings have costumes with different level of elaboration, affecting price.

also, costumes are normally cheaper when purchased directly from the samba schools via their websites, as opposed than via resellers.

finally, it is possible to get better pricing when purchasing large quantities, which is ideal fro groups since this is the ultimate group outing!
