Costumes & Accessories
How to choose costumes & accessories
Full versus partial
Pick a full Costume for head-to-toe cover, or a Costume Accessory like a pendant if you only need a hint of theme.
Mask material
Choose latex or leather Masks over plastic or polyblend for better facial shape, but accept the extra care they need.
Fabric choice
Favour cotton or cotton/polyester Clothing & Accessories for breathability, knowing plain polyester is easier wash but warmer.
Colour match
Scan the colour range of black, red, white, blue, green, brown, pink, grey, and purple, since some materials pair better with certain shades.
Wear comfort
Test fit and vision in Masks, as latex and plastic both cover the face but differ in weight and peripheral sight.
What's good
- Costume Accessories such as pendants or circlets in metal or gold let you theme ordinary clothing without buying a full Costume.
- Costumes in polyester or spandex arrive as one ready-to-wear item, saving time on matching separate pieces.
- Masks made from latex or plastic give a quick character change while keeping your own clothes on.
- Clothing & Accessories in cotton or cotton/polyester blends breathe better than all-synthetic picks for long parties.
Things to watch
- Latex Masks show sharp detail but can go sticky or crack if stored folded or in sunlight.
- Polyester Costumes need little ironing yet hold heat, which suits short events more than all-day wear.
- Metal or gold Costume Accessories look authentic but may bend or tarnish if tossed in a busy bag.
- Spandex Costumes fit close to the body, so underwear lines show and warm layers cannot fit underneath.
Care & maintenance
Latex storage
Keep latex Masks flat in a cool dark place, lightly dusted with talc to stop tackiness.
Metal care
Wipe metal or gold Costume Accessories with a dry cloth and store them in a low-humidity box.
Washing
Wash polyester or cotton blend Clothing & Accessories on a gentle cycle, while spandex needs cold hand washing.
Leather upkeep
Rub leather Costume Accessories with a conditioning balm every few months to prevent cracks.
