period costume
Era-appropriate attire
Period costume refers to clothing designed to represent a specific historical era, typically worn in theatrical productions, films, or themed events.
The phrase distinguishes historically accurate or evocative dress from contemporary clothing: The actors wore elaborate period costumes for the Regency drama.
Period alone can modify other nouns similarly: period furniture, period architecture.
