Kid’s Shiny Bat Costume

Description

Batty for CandyIf you thought watching a fruit bat get excited over a piece of banana was cute, wait until you get a load of a candy bat’s joy! When we found a sparkly bat hanging around the office, we assumed it was either a vampire coming to request a new cloak for Halloween or a really clean fruit bat hoping we’d share our lunch. Then it followed us inside and dove right into one of the various bowls of candy we had stashed around the place. Worried it had fallen instead of dived into the treats, we fished them out only to find their cheeks full of sour candies and covered in melted chocolate. That image completely eclipsed the videos of mango-messy fruit bats for us and convinced us to create a costume to honor the little sweetie!Design & DetailsOur clever team of designers got right to work whipping up this Kid’s Shiny Bat Costume. Knowing kids have a similarly insatiable craving for sweets, it only made sense to make this hooded jumpsuit in sizes just for them. After watching our new friend zip from bowl of chocolate to bowl of taffy and back again, they noticed a sugary sparkle about the bat’s wings and knew it’d need to be included to make the costume stand out. Iridescent scale fabric was used to get the right effect on the wings, tummy, ears, and a bow on the hood. And to ensure the costume looks just as joyful as our sugar-powered friend, smiling eyes are embroidered to the hood on either side of a soft-sculpted nose.
