The description of the project, taken from Facebook: "In the midst of a pandemic we all need a little levity right now so I started a Costumed Quarantine Challenge. I challenged those with costume collections or weird wardrobe items to share photos of themselves dressed up each day. Being homebound, I decided these items deserve to come out more than just Halloween (or on stage in a local theatre production). I know I grew up in a house filled with costumes, a tradition I have kept going with my kids. And I know for a fact I am not the only one out there like this. Here is how I exercised my creativity and filled my time during this time of Coronavirus."
