What are historical costumes?
Movies such as “Gone With the Wind” wouldn’t have been quite as convincing if the actors didn’t wear costumes that fit with the historical era they were portraying. Historical costuming is popular not only for film and stage, but for re-enactments and, of course, Halloween.IdentificationHistorical costumes also can be called period costumes. These are costumes that hearken back stylistically to a different era.
