How to put it together
- 1
Put on a base layer of lightweight, breathable clothing to stay cool inside the polyester suit.
- 2
Step into the printed Distortus Rex jumpsuit and pull it up over your shoulders.
- 3
Zip or fasten the jumpsuit securely, making sure the attached tail hangs freely behind you.
- 4
Slip on the textured dinosaur claw gloves over your hands.
- 5
Place the molded D-Rex mask over your head, adjusting the inner strap and eye holes for a secure fit and clear visibility.
- 6
Pull the jumpsuit's hood up over the back of the mask to seamlessly blend the headpiece with the body.
Makeup & hair
Since this costume features a full mask and hood, hair and makeup are optional; however, applying black face paint around your eyes helps them blend into the mask's eye cutouts.
