The phrase describes an ensemble intended to replicate the attire of the famous sharpshooter for the purposes of celebratory dress, often associated with the holiday of October 31st. Such a getup typically includes elements reminiscent of late 19th-century Western clothing, such as fringed skirts or jackets, boots, and potentially toy weaponry to simulate her marksmanship prowess.
This type of outfit offers an opportunity to embody a figure of historical significance, admired for her skill, independence, and representation of women in a traditionally male-dominated field. Recreating her look can serve as a tribute to her legacy and provides an alternative to more contemporary or fantastical costume choices. It also offers a chance to educate others about her contributions to American history and popular culture.
