Let me pick your costume brains.

I need prop and costuming assistance for a nearish-future Gameshelf shoot. If you can give me ideas as to where I can acquire or produce these, I'd be most grateful.

Props:
Something that can be reasonably construed to be a ship's railing, wide enough for three people to stand behind, and stable enough to stand up on its own. Other than that it can be quite simple, even crude.

(I'd composite one onto the frame in post-production, but people behind the railing are going to be throwing other props "overboard", so that wouldn't work too well.)

Costuming:
Some dress elements hearkening to Colonial America, enough for three or four people. Full costumes would be hilarious, but a merely a few tricorn hats would definitely suffice as well.

Sometimes large animal gates and fire-place gates can look as such, but this is depending on size and design. Height would probably be the most needed factor unless you were to place it upon something taller.

Garment District now has a big costume place on their first floor - Boston Costume, I think it's called. They might have the Colonial America items, or know where to find them.

I don't know for sure but you might be able to find sections of railings at Home Depot, and then attach them to some kind of base. Or maybe just some sections of PVC pipe or metal conduit attached together in the right sort of arrangement, and affixed to the base.
