Choosing a cowgirl costume
Typically a good cowgirl outfit comprises of a cowgirl hat, waistcoat, bandanna, skirt and belt. One thing you do need to consider is whether your child would prefer to have a traditional cowboy style outfit or a more girly pink costume. Always check whether a hat is included with the costume or if you need to buy any extras such as a white or plain shirt to wear under the waistcoat and maybe a toy gun to complete the look.
Cowgirl facts
Performing in Wild West Shows brought cowgirls into popular culture, they often specialised in riding tricks and marksmanship (shooting at targets).
Cowgirls continue to show off their riding skills in modern day rodeo events which tend to be held in Alberta Canada and across the west of the USA.
In the modern world cowgirls carry out exactly the same tasks as cowboys working on ranches where they care for and manage large numbers of cattle.
There is a museum devoted to cowgirls past and present in Fort Worth, Texas USA.
