I've been trying to source items from this costume such as the braces, boots, socks, etc that look manufactured.
With regard to the braces - they are obviously the leather-ended button-on type:
The stitching on the leather is quite distinctive. It recalls vintage British military braces.
The problem is I cannot find these anywhere - therefore I believe the costume dept has taken a set of cheap 35mm (1.37 inch) elastic clip-on braces, removed the metal bit and substituted these:
from another set of braces.
If I'm wrong please tell me.
Now the boots:
They are obviously brown leather lace-up ankle boots. I count seven eyelets and would guess that the heel will be relatively low. After extensive searching I have to admit I can't find them anywhere. If anyone knows the manufacturer please let me know.
As for the socks - these look pretty close to me:
