| Provider: | The Costume Factory | ||
| Summary: | Costumes are everywhere at this time of year, so I thought it might be fun to learn a little about how they are constructed. I was delighted to find this website where you can take a virtual tour of how promotional character costumes are made. Corporations spend big bucks to have their family-friendly characters on hand at sporting events, amusement parks, and other arenas to promote their product |

| Description: | I'm sure you've seen some of them including: *Michelin's Uniroyal Tiger *The Kool-Aid Man *Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog When you get to the site, you'll see a menu that includes: *Factory - Click on this item to take a virtual tour of each step of the inflatable costume production including design and construction. Plus you'll learn how performers fit into the costumes and discover how the costumes inflate and whether or not they can be popped. *Showroom - Watch a slide show of character costumes that The Costume Factory has produced. Watch a demonstration of how a performer gets into the costume. You can also use the menu to learn about costume care and find out more about the company that makes them - including how to get a professional "quote" to have a costume constructed according to your specifications. (Big Bucks!) |
