Costume

A costume is like an outfit that you wear for a special occasion or event. It's different from your regular clothes because it can make you look like someone or something else. For example, if you wear a costume of a superhero, you might look like Batman or Spider-Man.

Costumes can be made from lots of different materials, like fabric, plastic, or even cardboard. They can be very simple, with just a few pieces or very detailed, with lots of different parts.

Costumes are often used for Halloween, which is a holiday where people dress up in different costumes and go trick-or-treating. They can also be worn in plays or performances, where people pretend to be someone else.

When you wear a costume, you can act like the person or character you're dressed as. This can be a lot of fun and can make you feel like you're part of a special world.
