extending from the front surface 22 thereof these shoulder straps 30 and 32 are of the same general configuration as the wrist straps 18 and 20 but are of course somewhat larger in order to fit about the shoulders and or upper arms of the wearing person p 1 or p 2 preferably a central reinforcement panel 34 is attached stitched etc to the front surface 22 of the central area 28 of the wing panel 10 to reinforce the strap attachments in the manner of the reinforcements 24 and 26 provided for the wrist strap attachments each of the straps or bands 18 20 30 and 32 is preferably formed of an elastic material in order to provide a secure fit about the wrists and shoulders of a person wearing the present costume wings 10 the use of an elastic material has been found to work well in securing the wings 10 to the body of the person p 1 p 2 wearing the wings as the wings are quite light in weight due to the light weight materials from which they are constructed the use of such light weight materials is primarily to allow the wings 10 to streamline and float in the breeze when the wearer is running or in any light wind or breeze relative to the wearer however the very light weight material provides other advantages in that it does not require heavy inelastic attachment straps and accompanying relatively complex buckles additional straps etc as required by many such wing costumes of the prior art the elastic material works well in securing the light weight wings 10 to a person and also allows a very young child to don and remove the wings 10 easily by himself or herself without need.
