DescriptionA Slovak Fašiangy costume consisting of a shirt and coat, scarf and garter, pants and a headpiece. It begins with a men's white dress shirt that is worn with a black suit coat that is stitched, verticle stripes. Three black buttons and holes run down its front. There is a faux pocket towards its bottom on both sides of its front. Four black buttons are sewn at each cuff. Next is a long, white neckscarf made from a shimmering organza and a black lace garter worn around one arm. The costume's trousers are simply a pair of men's plain black pants. There is a button and hook at the waist with a zipper below. It has two back pockets and a series of belt loops around its waistline. The headpiece and full-on mask is truly the eye-catcher of the costume. It is in the form of a massive head with a yellow face and hair from top to bottom. It wears a black top hat decorated with sheer, black fabric and white lettering painted that reads "CARLI". Its facial features are greatly exaggerated with big blue eyes, and a red nose and cheeks. Its red lips appear from behind a very long, dark brown mustache.On View
