With last week’s discussion on easy costumes, this week, Ezra and Chelsea dive into the world of the dream costume. These are idealistic or overly complex costumes they would love to dress as (or love to see someone else dressed as) that take time, engineering, or specialty pieces that are out of reach for most people.
