and I played Santa and Mrs. Claus for years at a place called High Hill Ranch in
an area north of Placerville Ca. known as Apple Hill. Jeanne designed my costume
based on an 1800’s version of Father Christmas. The coat I am wearing was
made from a tapestry showing faces of children from around the world. The vest
and pants are red wool with gold buttons. Jeanne’s cloak design is what's
called a Kinsale cloak. The cloak is made from dark blue wool with a light blue
lining and closed at the neck with an antique clasp. The green wool vest and puffed sleeve blouse she is wearing are also dated from the mid
1800’s.
This costume would be great for anyone attending a renaissance
faire! The blouse is made of taffeta. The vest is a brocade with gold trim. The
skirt is cotton with gold trim.
This costume is an exact copy of the outfit worn by Margaret Hamilton as
"The Wicked Witch Of The West" in the movie "The Wizard of
Oz". The costume is all cotton and completely washable
This 1860’s style costume is perfect for any civil war
reenactments or any function that requires a costume from the late 1800’s. The
riding jacket is wool with black buttons. The skirt is cotton.
