A costume can be a particular style of clothing worn to portray the wearer as a character or types of character other than their regular person at a social event as can be seen in a masquerade, a fancy dress party or in a theatre performance, ceremonial period, and royalty.

Embellishments are features of a garment, they serve as decorative details to make garment and fabric more appealing to the eyes, according to vocabulary dictionary embellishment is a decorative detail or feature added to something to make it more attractive. SewEasy (2017) observed that embellishment makes the difference and causes us to have a second look at a garment in a shop, so they can definitely add a lot of value. Embellishment add extra glamour and are a statement which can either make your clothing look subtle and sweet, or it can make your outfit project a bold and adventurous statement. A few common example of embellishment are batik, beads, embroidery, but this study used batik.
