In Brazil we use Fantasia for costume, and that is the BEST translation.
Traje can also mean costume, not only fantastic costumes, but common clothing as well.
Fantasia is only for costumes that play roles. (Like a lion costume)
Fantasia may also mean fantasy. The context would tell what does it mean.
Máscara means Mask. (Only the face part of the costume)
Mascarar is a verb: to put a mask on
vivisaurus
2786
Because "tem" (the verb "ter") means "to have".
To wear has its own translation, which is "usar" or, in some cases, "vestir."
I hope it helps!
