"The expression of life seems like a strange name for a costume / hobby shop, however, this Chinatown store houses some of the most interesting Asian inspired costumes / accessories in the area.\n\nThere is all sorts of stuff here, from wigs to dresses to specialty umbrellas. The store doesn't look that big, but dig a little deeper and one will find there is a backroom with plenty of variety of fabrics in different sizes. I came here looking for old style shoes and umbrellas and came away empty handed. It was just my luck they ran out that day of the type of stuff I was looking for.\n\nThe couple running this place was young and super nice. They were gracious in answering my group's questions and were able to communicate in a variety of languages. I'm sure the next time I need to find Asian accessories in Montreal, I'll probably stop in here to check things out."^^ .
