Question: Where can i find Authentic Historical costumes!?
I'm really big on history and for Halloween i would like to be something historical (i!.e!. Roman Legion, Aztec Priest, WW2 soldier, 20s mobster, etc!.!.!.)
Where could i find Authentic Outfits that do not look fake but real or even close to real!? I would like to be an aztec priest this Halloween!? where could i find a complete outfit or where could i get the clothes/materials to make it!?(if not aztec then anything else historical is fine)
You can list sites, or store locations around the New York City/ southwestern part of Connecticut, USAWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Check Ebay for vintage clothing if you want actual authentic pieces - but I'm afraid I don't think you'll get your hands on *authentic* Aztec priest robes! If any exist, they'll be in museums, being so old and rare!.!.!.

also look out for second hand theatre costumes - while not authentic, they're likely to be better quality than the cheap halloween costumes!.

Alternatively, you can commission a costume maker to make you exactly what you want!. That's my business but I'm in London, UK, so not much use to you!. But be warned that an individually tailored, custom-made costume is going to cost a lot! My cheapest stuff would still be near $100 for a simple outfit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
