As you enter Montreal's oldest costume store, Ponton, it feels like history's closet has been flung wide open. On a recent visit, my partner and I took a cosplay plunge with the goal of stepping into the shoes – and waistcoat, and bustle – of our favourite PBS television show characters, Miss Scarlet and the Duke, in time for Montreal Comiccon. We walked out with a child-like sense of limitless possibility, reminded of the magic of playing dress-up.
