The phrase pertains to attire worn on All Hallows’ Eve specifically designed and proportioned for individuals of considerable height. These ensembles often require adjustments to standard patterns to ensure adequate coverage and a visually balanced appearance. Examples include superhero outfits, historical figures’ garb, and character representations that leverage height as part of the costume’s impact.
Proper fitting is paramount. Costumes ill-suited to the wearer’s stature can appear disproportionate or comical, diminishing the intended effect. Historically, finding suitable attire for taller individuals has presented a challenge, leading to a greater reliance on custom-made or modified options. A well-fitting costume contributes significantly to the wearer’s confidence and overall enjoyment of the Halloween experience.
