That’s 72 years!
Because you can be a suffragette from any time period in that 72 years, any long-ish skirt that you already have is perfect. Add a white blouse and any kind of hat and you are good.
All you need is a Votes for Women sash and a sign.
You can quickly make a sash using satin blanket binding, bias tape, and a Cricut iron on letter maker.
