historical costume
Clothing from past
Historical costume refers to clothing worn in or representative of a past era.
The term covers both authentic garments from earlier periods and modern reproductions made for theater, film, reenactments, or costume parties: The museum's collection of historical costumes spans three centuries.
A historical costume designer researches period-appropriate dress for stage and screen productions.
