These garments, designed for children’s Halloween festivities, utilize inflated structures to create whimsical and often oversized appearances. An example includes a child dressed as a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex, where an internal fan constantly inflates the costume to maintain its shape.
Their significance lies in offering a visually striking and often humorous alternative to traditional costumes. The inflated design provides a novel aesthetic, enhancing the wearer’s presence at events. Historically, these styles have evolved from simple, manually inflated designs to technologically advanced versions with battery-operated fans, offering convenience and extended wear time.
