Answer 1

Do you mean the real vintage antique costumes from the time?

Well the fabrics where mostly from silk & brocate and very weak, some you see in the museums.

If you want newmade, you can make it out Damast traps and velvet, you need about 3-4 meters and I can insure you it's heavy to wear.

My mother and I made one in the 70's for me, it took a week to make, we needed it to stand on Antique markets here in Antwerp.

You can also hire them in shops who hiring out for stage performence, cost almost as much then make it your self, selfmade  then you have it for always.

Answer 2

From a fancy dress/costume outlet.

Answer 4

Sometimes theaters sell their costumes.Why not check with repertory theaters in your area?

College theaters also count.
