About classy Costumes

Classy costumes hold up through a whole night specifically because they're built to, real tailoring, quality fabric, nothing that wrinkles or falls apart by midnight. Kitty Oppenheimer's poise, Arsène Lupin's polish, Prince Eric's clean formalwear, all built around looking composed.
