        "each person was visible
        regardless of the size of his or her costume" (Whitaker,J.2017.pg.23)
      - "Nobody in the entire show wears an animal suit, and yet the minuet you look at them, " - 3.00 (Disney on Broadway.2019)
  - - - This helps to continue the animals silhouette right down to the feet as if their not wearing shoes

- - - - "The base for those costumes remains simple: fitted pants, corsets-like
        vests and riding boots." (Beuriot,J.2017-2018.pg.52)
