Available images show Tommy in his costume during the late 1880s and early 90s. Tommy for the part wore a very elaborate Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit and long curls. The photographic portraits provide details on the costume he wore for his performances. He wears a velvet suit, perhaps black, but we are not positive. The jacket is the style that buttons at the collar and not the small jacket style commonly worn by younger boys. There is a large lace collar, with matching trim at the wrist cuffs. The suit is a kneepants suit worn with long stockings. The stockings are dark, but did not look to be black. With his Fauntleroy suit he wears a large sash which we would guess was red. We see small variations in the Fauntleroy suits he wore. There were other costumes used in the play. He also wears what looks like a corduroy outfit, which he wears with a tam and leggings. Mrs. Burnett's book mentioned a sailor suit, but I do not know if tht was one of Tommy's costumes.
