Bat on the head
Wings under the arms
The occasional bat on the chest (this is less of a costume and more of an elegant gown, but who’s complaining?)

Bat but make it sultry
Bat but make it child
Okay, back to sultry bat
The ✨elegance✨

Yes I deserve that glare, Flapper Bat. I accept.
Let’s round this thread out with some vintage instructions on how to make your own bat costume!

Happy #BatWeek!! 🦇
