Looking to become a Pilgrim for Thanksgiving or Halloween?

Welcome to PilgrimOutfits.com, where you will find Pilgrim costumes for kids and adults representing some of our earliest settlers. Although many people probably consider the simple clothing worn by the Pilgrims somewhat plain, many school pageants and Fall celebrations depend on realistic Pilgrim clothing.

The contrast of the black and white, used in many Pilgrim costumes, creates a very cute look for girls. I am sure the day-to-day clothing was less formal, but when attending church or Thanksgiving feasts, a prim and proper style was adopted.

The Pilgrim Girl Child Costume is a great example. The long black dress has a tailored look with a cinched waist and full length sleeves. The  white accents include turned up cuffs, a V-shaped overlay from shoulders to waist, and a white apron that drapes almost to the hem of the skirt.

Lace trim and a black ribbon at the neck are finishing touches that add detail to this outfit, which is available in Small, Medium and Large child sizes.

When your girls put on the white Pilgrim bonnet, they will be ready for Halloween, their class play, or any historical function about the days of Plymouth rock.
Pilgrim outfits for boys are also needed in the Fall, and compliment the girls costumes. This Pilgrim Boy Child Costume keeps black as the main color, both in the shirt and knicker-style pants.

A large white collar covers the shoulders and extends well below the neck and full white cuffs are attached to the sleeves. A black belt with a gold buckle gathers the top at the waist.

The Puritans seem to have preferred tall pointy hats for the men and boys, so one with a white band and a gold square in the front comes with the costume.

Since most shoes no longer sport big buckles and are usually not included, check out the Accessories Section for that personal touch.

Adults were also encouraged to stay on the straight and narrow path, so their Pilgrim clothing was pretty basic too. Long black dresses were worn, almost exclusively, by the women, especially on religious and festive occasions. A white bonnet, that tied under the chin, to cover the head and a white apron that covered most of the front of their skirts was expected. Showing skin was obviously frowned upon by these early settlers.

Pilgrim fashions added big white collars and cuffs to both the mens and womens clothing and this same look is seen in other Colonial costumes.

You can find the Proper Pilgrim Woman Adult Costume in Small, Medium, large and Extra Large.

Shopping for a Pilgrim costume for men? Keep it simple is how I would go. The economical Pilgrim Man Adult Costume is a good choice. It Has the black shirt and pants with white collar and sleeve cuffs, knee length pants and gold buckled belt that all the men are wearing this season.

Although the shoes with buckles are not included, the traditional tall Puritan hat is part of this outfit.  Mens Medium (size 40-42), Large (size 42-44), and X-Large (size 46-48) are available.

Classic Pilgrim costumes are used every year for school plays and Thanksgiving gatherings, so let Pilgrim Outfits.com help you with all your costume and party decoration needs.

The term Pilgrim can apply to many people who undertake pilgrimages for religious or secular purposes. To most Americans it applies to the travelers who sought freedom from oppression in England. They landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 after crossing the  northern Atlantic Ocean on a ship named the Mayflower. Puritan is another name associated with this group of religious dissidents.  Puritan schooling was based mainly on the bible and many children were educated at home.
