18th Century Woman
Colonial
The costume help listed in here is meant to have a historical "feel" and be as accurate as possible
while remaining on a budget.
I will try to explain the main parts of the costume and list what they were made of and
what an inexpensive substitute would be.
Be aware this is not used for true historical reenactment,
but instead suggestions to help kids "get into" history.
If you want true historical patterns please check out the links section.
