My historical rental garment service is designed for school children and their parents to rent authentic dress attire to wear to functions at Sutter's Fort in Sacramento, California. I now have a wide range of choices in women's, girl's, boy's and men's designs along with accessories like aprons and head wear. The stalwart women who conquered the American prairie in the latter nineteenth century wore full yet practical house dresses of washable cotton. Along with the dress can be worn an apron and bonnet which I can provide. I also have many other designs for that time period to choose from.
