How to choose the best costume for your partner and yourself?
Getting a costume for yourself or that special someone? Is this your first purchase? Not entirely sure of what item to choose?
There is an array of different costumes types and concepts to choose from, so purchasing one can be a tough decision. To find out which costume you think will suit you or your partner the most, read on...
First and foremost, if you are purchasing a costume for role playing, it's important to understand your partner's perception and feelings towards role playing. At any time, if you are unsure, discuss it over with your partner first. It is advisable to get your partner's approval prior to preparing for your role play session. At no time should your gift give your partner the wrong idea! This is because how your partner perceives the item is how they think you perceive them.
If this is meant to be a surprise gift, our recommendation is to get something more subtle and conservative for a start. If your partner loves what you've got them this time, try to be more adventurous on your next purchase. If you've managed to discuss a role playing theme, then things are a lot easier. Involve your partner in the selection process and browse through our catalog for the best costume that will fit into your theme!
If you are simply purchasing it for you own pleasure or for costume parties, etc., whatever catches your eyes will be the right one, always!
Personality
The wearer's personality should be one of the main factors to be taken into consideration while looking for a costume. Always ask yourself, what is their personality like? Is the person shy and quiet or loud and outgoing? Choosing something that matches them from the inside out is the safest bet. Noticing what they wear for Halloween parties will also help.
Body shape
Choosing the right costume not only adds charm to the occasion, but enhances the wearer's confidence and body. Did you know that different types of costume styles are actually more suited for different types of body figures?
Example: A tall and lanky girl will look even more so amazing with a garter belt, stockings and strappy heels. A curvy and busty girl can try a corset style costume as it helps support the "body" while it cinches the waist to emphasize the hourglass figure. Fleshy women on the contrary should consider wearing something loose, flowing and comfortable (being comfortable will automatically enhance your confidence level, don't you think?!).
