There is no need to buy an outfit! One option is to transform the clothing that you already have in your closets at home into a colonial outfit. Another option is to contact a 6th grade parent or the parent of a recent graduate to see if their child still has a colonial costume that you can borrow. Below are pictures of students' colonial costumes from last year for your reference.
