Costume 6
66" high x 44" wide x 11" deep
Mask alone: 16" high x 5" wide x 3" deep
$600
SOLD

This costume has not been vetted.   It has a complex surface design of appliqued folded cloth strips over a black velvet base. Since the costume with the mask is not flat, the costume has to be supported on something.  Note: the access opening in the front for the dancer is behind the band of pink yarn, it has ties to close it from the inside. I have not attempted to have the costume cleaned. The face mask is probably not authentic but fits the opening perfectly. There are small tears in the black velvet in the upper front and back (see last details).
