Celebrate Day of the Dead with a costume from Kostümpalast
Once a year, Mexico's residents celebrate a colorful festival in the streets for several days in honor of the dead. Even the youngest children learn that on Día de Muertos - the Day of the Dead - the deceased return to their families to celebrate together with food and drink. To preserve the tradition, UNESCO declared the customs of this colorful festival a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2003, because commercial customs like Halloween threaten the typically Mexican ritual. To celebrate the festival in the traditional way with colorful flowers and symbols of death such as skeletons and skulls, you can get detailed Day of the Dead costumes in the online shop of Kostümpalast, such as skeleton overalls , shirts with colorful skulls or suits with bone decorations like " Mister Bones ".

Since, according to tradition, the deceased recognize the colors orange and yellow best, the women's Día de los Muertos Senorita costume is in exactly these colors. The same goes for the Sugar Skull flower headband with skull and ribbons and the bizarre half mask with a black spider . Women can choose between different dresses and skirts that are a perfect style for the Day of the Dead.
