Costume is the distinctive style of dress of an individual or group that reflects their class, gender, profession, ethnicity, nationality, activity or epoch.
The term also was traditionally used to describe typical appropriate clothing for certain activities, such as riding costume, swimming costume, dance costume, and evening costume. Appropriate and acceptable costume is subject to changes in fashion and local cultural norms.
This general usage has gradually been replaced by the terms "dress", "attire" or "wear" and usage of "costume" has become more limited to unusual or out-of-date clothing and to attire intended to evoke a change in identity, such as theatrical, Halloween, and mascot costumes.
Before the advent of ready-to-wear apparel, clothing was made by hand. When made for commercial sale it was made, as late as the beginning of the 20th century, by "costumiers", often women who ran businesses that met the demand for complicated or intimate female costume, including millinery and corsetry.

Set the night ablaze
Pop into the toilet catch you in (a) few days
That's the way the party rolls
That's the way the party rolls
Fancy dress invite
Animals and plants and we do it right
That's the way the party rolls
That's the way these parties roll
Highs and lows and crazy dreams
Does the light in the tunnel even mean a thing?
Yes, I think we'll be alright
I hope that we'll be alright
I saw, we saw scary things
There's a light in the tunnel but it's growing dim
Yes, I think we'll be alright
Woah-a-oh
You stole away but have you stolen my soul?
Give it back, give it back and be hasty
Woah-a-oh
You stole away but have you stolen my soul?
Give it back, give it back and be quick
As our logic dies
Polish off what's meant for creatures twice our size
That's the way the party rolls
That's the way these parties roll
Highs and lows and severed limbs
It's too bright in the tunnel I can't see a thing
No, I don't think we're alright
I don't think we're alight
Woah-a-oh
You stole away but have you stolen my soul?
Give it back, give it back and be hasty
Woah-a-oh
You stole away but have you stolen my soul?
Give it back, give it back and be quick
Woah-a-oh
You stole away but have you stolen my soul?
Give it back, give it back and be hasty
Woah-a-oh
You stole away but have you stolen my soul?
Give it back, give it back and be quick
Woah-a-oh
So many highs, so many lows, so low
Woah-a-oh
So many highs, so many lows, so low
Woah-a-oh
