This worked very well for a Revolutionary War Day at school for my fifth grader. Simple costume, and needed ironing on a low to medium heat to take out the wrinkles from the packaging, but the wrinkles came out just fine. We used white soccer socks and black sneakers with a piece of gold colored paper cut to look like a gold buckle, duct-taped onto the sneaker; boots would have looked good too. This is of a simple polyester blend, thin costume quality, but that's exactly what we expected and all that we needed. Would definitely recommend.
