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.
