Abstract:
A multi-component costume for at least partially masking a contoured anterior portion of the body, comprising a first component consisting of a fabric foundation garment for receiving and substantially fully covering the contoured body portion; a second component consisting of at least one molded flexible three dimensional member configured to at least partially receive and cover or mask an anterior surface of the contoured body portion, said second component defining an external generally convex surface provided with exterior decoration to simulate a desired appearance and an interior generally concave surface forming a three dimensional cavity having a configuration substantially corresponding to a portion of the contoured body intended or desired to be covered or masked; and attachment means for attaching at least a portion of said fabric foundation garment normally covering the contoured body portion intended or desired to be covered or masked to at least one half of said interior generally concave surface, the molded flexible three-dimensional member closely following the wearer's contoured body portion such that the appearance of said exterior decoration corresponds to the exterior surface of the wearer's contoured body portion while said fabric foundation garment serves to enhance the comfort to the wearer by serving as an intermediate barrier that prevents contact between the skin of the wearer and said molded member.
