Can you tell me about the toy soldier costume?

Toy Soldier Costume

Do you have visions of the Nutcracker for Christmas? If you do, you'll need a toy soldier costume for the holidays. Children's versions cost around $30 retail, while adult versions will run you about $65. You can find a toy soldier costume for men and women in the costume stores.

While costume stores may be one place to get your toy soldier costume, you can certainly make your own. These are the items you'll need to get started:

Red jacket with gold buttons and trim.
Dark pants
Black boots
Oversized black hat or Busby hat

For the women's version, you can substitute the red jacket for a jacket style dress.
