Boys clothes worn in 1666

[Memina]

Hey I need some help.

My son has been covering the great fire of London at school and has to go in the week after next dressed in 1666 clothes.

I have no idea what that is. Any one have an idea of how I can put a constume like that together?

Thanks m

One of our children did this topic recently and used this website while he was here -

The Great Fire of London: KS1 resources from the Museum of London and more | Culture24 (http://www.culture24.org.uk/teachers/ideas%20%26%20resources/art77689)

He did the quiz - if you look a child is dressed in 1666 clothing - that's what reminded me :D

Look on ebay, you will find something, very popular for schools to do this. The children I have minded get the stuff on ebay!

Just had a look at hobby craft but they only have girls dress!

Think I might go with black scruffy trousers, white shirt with cord to tie it up
