Costume accessories are the parts of your costume that take it from good to great. Anyone can dress up like a cowboy, but adding a lasso that you carry around and rope other part guests with just makes your costume that much more interesting and memorable.
Whether you need a mask to quickly hide your identity and make yourself known as a particular character, or just a partial mask for Mardi Gras to help let the good times roll, adding the right accessories to a costume are a great way to add spark.
Masks and accessories are also important for plays, and are a famous part of the history of Greek drama. While we don't need masks these days to tell which characters are good or evil (or male or female, for that matter), masks can still add a fun dimension to stage productions or holiday events.
Of course accessories don't stop with just masks. Depending on your costume you might need a hat, glasses, a scarf, a peg leg, pet parrot, stethoscope, stuffed animal or magic wand. Your costume might be vastly improved with the addition of a wig to ensure that you really look the part of a particular character you're trying to portray.
Costume accessories usually aren't that expensive and they can take a simple homemade costume to the next level. With a little creativity, perhaps some searching images online and a trip to your local costume shop, you'll find the perfect extras to make your costume extra special.
