My costume is short and snug.
Baggy sleeves or billowy capes and skirts can trip you up and catch fire if they brush against jack-o’-lanterns or candle flames.
My shoes fit.
Big, floppy shoes (clown shoes, adult shoes) — that are hard to walk in may make you fall.
My costume props are flexible.
Costume props can hurt you badly if you fall. Make sure swords, knives, etc. are made of flexible plastic or rubber.
The eyeholes in my mask are wide enough.
Make sure your mask fits properly and the eyeholes allow you to see fully. Don’t wear a mask that is too loose — it can slip and block your vision. Even better, paint your face instead of wearing a mask.
