Sydney’s drag mothership: a glitter-drenched costume temple where wigs, lashes, corsets and custom couture turn a night out into a full-blown entrance.
House of Priscilla is where you go when ‘nice outfit’ isn’t nearly dramatic enough. Tucked just off Oxford Street, this queer institution is stacked floor-to-ceiling with sequinned bodysuits, feathered headdresses, rhinestoned everything and enough wigs to restyle Mardi Gras twice over.
The staff know their way around a fantasy. Whether you’re chasing a starter lash and a cute little shoulder moment, or commissioning a full custom look with corsetry, crystals and a reveal-ready bodysuit, they’ll gently nudge you from shy to showgirl. Expect honest advice, fittings that feel like a backstage hang, and plenty of "try this on, trust me" energy.
It’s part shop, part costume lab, part queer museum of looks – the kind of place you drop into for a pair of lashes and somehow leave with a new stage persona. If you’re gearing up for Mardi Gras, a party weekend, or just want to walk down Oxford like it’s your runway, this is your transformation chamber.
Named with a wink to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, House of Priscilla has long been a go‑to for Sydney’s drag, cabaret and showgirl scenes, dressing performers for Oxford Street stages, Mardi Gras parades and beyond. Think of it as a living, sparkling thread in the city’s queer costuming history.
