Shopping for Animal Costumes


 
Online Shopping
Shopping for animal costumes is fun but if you are serious about it, you should know where to look for them. Animal costume makers charge widely ranging prices and their products vary a lot in terms of quality standards. Whether you are looking for fancy animal outfits or complicated animal pyjamas make sure you know the right prices for the optimum quality gears available in the market.

Animal pyjamas are complete costumes with footed or non-footed pyjamas stretching all the way up to include hoods or masks. They are designed and colored to resemble various animals in a much caricatured manner. The designing methods are diverse depending on the user’s comfort requirements.

The tradition of wearing animal costumes dates back to ancient times. In the beginning, man used to imitate animals by painting on his skin. Over time it was replaced by costumes that made things more comfortable and illustrious. Animal costumed performances are still prevalent in Japan and the characters are known as ‘kigurumi”. These animal costumes are world famous for their design and eye-catchy colors. Consequently, kigurumi costumes have gained a growing market both in the East as well as several Western countries, especially in UK.

Animal costumes are all similar in one way or the other, but if you want something realistic and flexible buy kigurumi outfits. They are known for using unique raw materials for stitching and dying the costumes. Some are made in traditional Japanese style but they can be more expensive than the ordinary kigurumi pyjamas. The price also depends on the dealer and brand. A simple kigurumi with simple designing wouldn’t cost you more than £ 40. They are colorful and perfect for costume parties and used as casual festival dresses. But if you need something complex and more impacting, you should shop for a traditional kigurumi that sports a complex animal image on itself. They are apt for street dances and even for occasions like Halloween.

A complex kigurumi is not painted with fancy or gaudy color scheme. It looks more real with soft fur-like colors and designs that are much similar to the animal it represents. The hood and facial mask looks gruesome rather than amusing as in the case of a usual animal costume. The mask may contain teeth and mane to resemble creatures like lion, wolf, bear or dragon.The head portion is large compared to the rest of the body making it all the more striking.

The entire costume is cut from rich fleece that looks and feels thick. They are heavier and more furry looking than usual cloth costumes. The standard prices for complex costumes usually fall under £ 150 to £ 200.Prices vary depending on the size of the costume. For children, traditional kigurumi outfits cost anywhere around £ 20 to £ 70, depending on the quality and complexity.

You can buy kigurumi outfits from online stores that offer wide range of collection. There are online dealers who take orders for customized costumes. You can describe your imagination and they will make it happen for you. Although, customized products would cost you a bit higher than the readymade ones, you get the satisfaction of owning a perfect animal costume you had actually wanted.
