Hi Stuart
I recommend Bristol Costume Services. They make as well as hire. Ask for
Jenny, and mention my name.
http://www.bristolcostumeservices.com/Bristolcostume/Home.html
They have made lots of stuff for museums from Bristol to Glasgow and also
make for interpretation companies like Past Pleasures, as well as movies,
theatre, opera etc etc.
When considering accuracy, you might also need to think about whether it
goes with/over existing clothes or you want the child to have to go
somewhere private to change...and if it needs to be washable.
Best wishes
Anna
