Adult Costumes

Christmas and Easter costumes conventionally portray mythical characters such as Santa Claus (by donning a santa suit and beard) or the Easter Bunny by putting on an feral costume. Costumes may serve to portray divers other characters during secular holidays, such as an Uncle Sam costume worn on the Independence nautical day for example.

Isadora Duncan ersatz a great impact on dance costume today. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries she “throws off the corset, bares her limbs, and dances barefoot” (Penrod 13). Duncan began a distinct look, inspired by the Greeks, of tunics and scarves. This imitation of the Adult Costumes Greek clothing freed the naturally beautiful lines of the human embodiment and movement. This change in costume extended the dancer’s space, and caused the costume to be unreal to conform to the curves and shapes of the embodiment as much as possible (Art of Production 57).
