This is supposed to be for adult costuming but there is no way this is intended for anyone over the age of maybe 10 years, unless they work in a circus sideshow as Zippy the Pinhead. Either they goofed, or their manufacturer goofed, but we ended up getting a "mask" that could only be used as a beenie on an adult - no way is it large enough to pull down over my head and face. But it was cheap and hardly worth returning, so I am going to give it to my neices to play with :)
