Since you are a Southern gentleman, have you ever thought about doing Rhett Butler? Or a Southern belle, like Scarlett, perhaps? Victorian era might be slightly less costly than 18th century and earlier. What about a Confederate (or Union) officer? Abraham Lincoln? Or Mary Lincoln?
Have thought about Rhett Butler , Confederate officer and Diamond Jim Brady.
The red outfit for the Grande Auntee could be used as a Southern belle, since it is supported by a 115" hoopskirt. I have the wig, just add lace parasol and fan and practice on my Southern accent, honey chile! Lol!
I am too short and heavy for Abraham Lincoln (5'6") but the black outfit for The Grandmother and Charley's Aunt could be used for Mary Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony & Clara Barton. It too is supported by a 115" hoopskirt.
My costumer sort of railroaded my into hoopskirts. I wanted to do Charley's Aunt as sort of frumpy but she was not excited about it. She tried to talk me into Martha Washington, Dolly Madison, Elizabeth I and Marie Antionette. When all I wanted to do was a frumpy Charley's Aunt like Art carney, Ray Bolger & Jack Benny!
My supreme costumes would be Charlie Chan. Simple enought ordinary clothes and Panama hat, but extensive makeup.
The ultimate female outfit would be Marie Antionette, but that one is just a little too expensiive and too feminate for me.
Thanks for your advise.
