The Ruff: Made of fabric which was from Jim’s Grandmother’s Wedding Dress Train. Several layers gathered, and sewn together. Evidence of fame still survives, as costume makeup is quite obvious on the inside of the Ruff.
|
 The Tights: Ready-made in black cotton with a white lace (to be sure they didn’t bring infamy to the rest). These tights are lengthy, as our Jim is extremely tall. They may be special theatrical tights.
