Adult Costumes

Christmas and Easter costumes altogether portray mythical characters such as Santa Claus (by donning a santa suit and beard) or the Easter Bunny by putting on an animal costume. Costumes may serve to portray diversified other characters during secular holidays, such as an Uncle Sam costume worn on the Independence dawn-to-dark for example.

Designing Adult Costumes a costume differs when creating for either a male or female dancer. Female dancer’s standard costume includes tights that clothing the legs and hips and a leotard that covers the hips and trunk (Penrod 13). Leotards are an important capital garment in which most dance costumes are based from (Harrison 8). If the tights have a seam it is worn on the posterior of the legs. Women can wear underwear under their tights; however, if they do wear underwear, it must never be seen. By showing the line of their underwear on the leotard the lanky look of the leg is destroyed.
