Hi Dora,

You need to decide on the time era of your court and then get to looking on line or in books for ideas. Type in "the 1800's costume ideas", or the "1600's costume ideas." Then click on images. You'll get a lot of ideas this way. Books are a great way to get ideas as well. Or type in the kings or queens that you are wanting to emulate.

Pattern books in a sewing store can give you ideas. You really don't have to have a lot of sewing knowledge to do costumes. They are usually pretty easy.

There are sites that have great costumes and even if you don't want to purchase the whole outfit, you can purchase some accessories to accent your homemade costume.

Here are a few sites that have great costumes to give you some ideas...

Good luck and feel free to ask as many questions as you like.
