EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on this extraordinary theatrical costume from the mystifying world of early 20th century pantomime! A dazzling fusion of Eastern, mythical, and Cumberland sausage elements, this insane attire is a testament to the fantastical and elaborate nature of the entertainment industry during this era. The elaborate headdress, adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers, evokes the exotic allure of the East. Yet, the inclusion of the mythical Medusa head and genie lamp defies easy categorization, adding an air of the fantastical and magical. The overall effect is a costume that is at once regal, with its princess-like bodice and flowing skirt, and utterly mad, with its unexpected and delightful juxtapositions. Dating back to the 1910s, this crazy costume was undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser in its day. Its eccentricity and flair captured the imaginations of audiences, transporting them to a world of wonder and delight. Today, it remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, a reminder of a time when the boundaries between reality and fantasy were blurred, and the impossible was made possible on the stage. So come one, come all, and marvel at this crazy, insane, and utterly unusual theatrical costume, a true treasure from the golden age of pantomime!
