The expert staff at Colonial Williamsburg’s Costume Design Center dresses all its many costumed interpreters. The clothes range from silk gowns and caps for the ladies, to cotton and linen wear for the middling sort, to handmade leather gloves and embroidered coats for the male gentry. The CDC also designs and sews the uniforms for the famous Fifes and Drums, all with minute attention to historical detail. Please join the Costume Design Center for a virtual open house as we follow the complicated path of an historic interpreter's garment HERE.
