Customer Review: Thin but still cuteI bought this for my 2, almost three, year old daughter last year for Halloween. It was a bit cheaply made for the price and for what I was expecting. The material is very thin, almost papery. It is cute, though! She looked cute and only wore it a couple times. If you are looking for something to hold up to dress up play I wouldn't count on it and for a Halloween costume it is a bit expensive. She was in a size 4T at the time (moved into a 5 two months later) and it fit fine except it was a little short.
If you were to ask what is meant by a Halloween adult costumes, most would respond it is a costume that comes in a size appropriate for an adult. Well, on a baseline level, that is accurate assessment. But, it is not a completely accurate assessment. There is a lot more to an adult Halloween costume than just providing a proper fit. The look, the material and the originality of the design often play a huge role in making the costume special.
During the weeks prior to Halloween, consumers will notice many retail store shelves filled with children's costumes and novelties. While many of these little get ups are fine for the young ones, simply making them a larger size would not necessarily make a decent adult costume. A costume designed for a nine year old simply does not translate well for an adult because Halloween adult costumes require more sophistication.
For example, a child's witch costume is little more than a few low cost accessories slapped together. A hat, wig, cape, and, perhaps, a funny nose is really all that is required for a children's version of the costume. For adults, however, such a simplistic design really would not cut it. Adults are not wearing their costume to go trick or treating. They are wearing the costume to attend a party or, possibly, to appear on stage wearing it. Either way, the costume has to look convincing and properly designed. After all, you wouldn't attend a formal party in wrinkled casual wear. So, why would you try and make a good impression on others wearing a very cheap Halloween adult costume? You can't and you shouldn't, particularly when there are so many excellent adult Halloween costumes available.
Again, Halloween adult costumes will not be made out of cheap material. Often, the actual material used in the making of the costume will possess an almost elegant quality. Additionally, the costume will be built to withstand wear and tear. This will be important if you are wearing the costume on stage or for theatrical use. Costumes that would be easily torn would be a major negative in such a scenario.
Additionally, Halloween adult costumes will be produced with fine attention to detail. A wig and a mask will not cut it when one needs a quality costume. This is why all costumes of high quality pay particular attention to detail. Masks, in particular, take on a unique aesthetic dimension when attention to detail is present. When you look at the facial features of a Dracula mask, a werewolf mask, a mad scientist mask, etc you will notice a great deal of work goes into making the mask come alive. This brings out the personality of the creature in the form of pathos, fear, horror, etc. This truly makes the character come alive. Once again, when you dress up for Halloween you want to look impressive. A properly made and expertly designed adult Halloween costume can most definitely deliver in this regard.
As one can see, there is much more to Halloween adult costumes than merely expanding the size. When properly crafted, an adult Halloween costume literally rises to the level of a work of art. Now, doesn't that sound like an exciting costume to wear?
