This was not a big Civil War re-enactment but there were a few period costumes. The one photo shows a woman and her son together. I talked to her and she said the basic dress is sewn by someone for her and that she then adds the ebellishments herself- this cuts down on the cost of the purchased dress- her son was dressed in wool trousers and shirt and it was very hot that day-but in the war that is the way it really was.
The other photos shows a woman in a blouse and prairie style skirt with a "snood" head covering.
