My daughter "played" Deborah Sampson at school for a school project set in the Colonial Era. She needed to enact Deborah Sampson....in costume. With mild anxiety I searched Amazon for a costume, as I do not know where else to get a Minuteman costume. There it was....we ordered it....and she looked fabulous in it. Except for the pants with attached plastic boots, which look and must feel ridiciulous. Instead, she tucked her pants into knee-high white socks, which did the trick. The effect was intact. Her teacher complimented her costume and she got a high grade!
