edwardian clothes

[indiandreami]

Hi All.

The children are to dress up in Edwardian clothes for school. Does anyone have any ideas for this to complete cheap and cheerfully. Thanks, Pam

This is really difficult since the Edwardian period lasted only a very short time. How about the old fashioned bathing costumes? A baggy striped T-shirt, some cut down leggings just above the knee, and, for a girl, an elasticated mop cap - and for a boy, a false moustache.

For girls - long skirt , blouse and shawl or jacket
For boys knee length trousers, long socks, shirt/jumper and a jacket/waistcoat
Edwardian was not disimilar to victorian without the crinolines

You could dress the girls as suffragetts(purple)or maids in service The boys in Khaki (Boer War) or boy scouts which were founded in that period. Hope this info helps.
