Period Clothing Versus Theatrical Costumes



Period clothing is made very exact, and to period specifics. The material, fasteners and patterns are designed to look precisely like the originals would have. They are for those performing historical re-enactments and others who must have an exact replica.

Theatrical costumes are made for appearance more than accuracy. They look authentic from a stage distance but are not designed to hold up under close scrutiny.

Decades carries a variety of both styles.
