Colonial Girl Costume

Description

Ah, the first Thanksgiving. Either a portent of a new nation of friends or an aberration before darker things to come, depending on how you look at things.

Some kids love video games. Some kids love horses. Your child, however, is intrigued by the early history of our nation, when Puritans fled religious persecution in Europe to forge a new life for themselves in the harsh New World. Our Girls Colonial Pilgrim Costume is perfect for the child who takes Thanksgiving a little too seriously or the precocious, morbid child who wants to reenact the Salem witch trials and the disappearance of Roanoke colony. Blend right in on your trip to Colonial Williamsburg. Pairs perfectly with a scarlet A! Maybe your girl prefers making candles to read scripture at night and churning butter to hanging out at the mall and prank-calling cute boys. What’s wrong with that? Kick it really, really old-school in our Girls Colonial Pilgrim Costume.

The 100 percent polyester poplin brown dress has a conservative square neckline the village elders would approve of and zips up in the back. The tan front bodice insert has lacing, and the neckline, sleeves and hat have ruffled white lace edging because you know those Puritans were all about layering. The tan bonnet has an elastic band so it won’t blow off during a brisk sleigh ride. The white lace-edged apron won’t show flour from baking. Black out some teeth for authenticity!
