ABSTRACT:
A multi-component costume for at least partially masking a contoured anterior portion of the body includes a first component consisting of a fabric foundation garment for receiving and substantially fully covering the contoured body portion. The second component consists 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. The second component defines 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. At least a portion of the fabric foundation garment normally covering the contoured body portion intended or desired to be covered or masked is attached to the interior generally concave surface, such as with adhesive. The molded flexible three-dimensional member closely follows the wearer's contoured body portion to provide the appearance that the exterior decoration corresponds to the exterior surface of the wearer's contoured body portion, while the 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 the molded flexible member.
