Costume Fiascos
After several tries of making your own costume, it might come the time to admit that costume rental is the right choice for you. Most people have had the experience, when young, of deciding on the perfect thing for Halloween. This is followed by a lot of planning, drawing sketches on notebook paper, and talking it up with friends. Eventually, there comes the moment when all the supplies are gathered together, and the work gets under way. Then comes another telling moment, and the turning point for many people, when you discover that it’s impossible to glue cloth together .
Even an elementary knowledge of sewing can help make things right, and kids will usually find an adult to help. After a few tries, and some success in getting the pieces together in just the right way, it’s obvious that the original plan didn’t come close to the finished product. For the moments where it really matters, it’s a good idea to get to the costume shop and get exactly what you’re looking for. It happens in stage work, too, where last minute fiascos lead the costume crew to the rental store, because the costumes there have been tested, and they do look like they’re supposed to. There’s always time later to try it again on your own, and let this night be as special as it’s supposed to be.
