  5. Parental Approval: Parents often play a role in helping tweens select costumes that are suitable for their age and adhere to any specific family guidelines or restrictions.

  6. DIY Options: Some tweens enjoy creating their own costumes using DIY techniques and craft materials. This allows them to express their creativity and have a unique, personalized costume.

  7. Popularity of Licensed Characters: Tween costumes often feature characters from popular movies, TV shows, books, and video games. These characters are recognizable and hold special appeal for this age group.

Question: Do the wings come with the costume
Answer: I would order an YXL. I ordered up a size for my 10yr old. I felt it ran a little small. I figured it was better for it to end up a little big than too small. I ordered a YL last year when my daughter wore this costume and at the time she normally wore a YM. It fit perfect.
