Unisex design suitable for both boys and girls. This listing is for size Large (child) — refer to the separate size chart image for height and chest measurements to confirm fit.
Are stockings and shoes included?
No. The costume includes vest with attached sleeves, jabot, breeches and tricorn hat only. White knee socks, black buckle shoes and glasses shown in images are styling suggestions and sold separately.
Can this be used for Australian First Fleet projects at school?

Does the vest close, or is it open-front?
The vest features center-front closure (hook-and-loop or button fastening) based on the straight front seam visible. It closes neatly over the jabot for a finished historical look.
How do I care for the costume and tricorn hat?
