Find the Perfect Renaissance Costume for a Renaissance Faire or a Play or a Masquerade Party

My first visit to a Renaissance Faire enchanted me. It was great fun seeing all the people in costume enjoying activities from the Renaissance period. I knew it would be even more fun to dress in costume and participate. My nieces attended many Ren Faires and had told me what a great experience it was. I'd seen photos of them in their Renaissance Faire costumes. There's something about being in costume that brings you out of yourself and frees you from the humdrum daily life.

Now the challenge was to find the right costume. Would I dress as a member of the upper class in velvet and lace or should I costume myself as a serving wench? After seeing the wide variety of costumes worn by the participants at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, I knew there were other possibilities too. One friend was a juggler and dressed in the costume of a court jester.

Are you looking for a Renaissance costume for a Ren Festival or for a play or masquerade party? Let's explore the selection of costumes that I've assembled here.

    Yes! My favorite one is the KC Ren Fest.... Though I've yet to wear my Ren gown to one as it's upclass Ren and has a train. (Not the best idea for a dusty Ren fest fair grounds. =0)

    I do so love the Renaissance era! Well, perhaps I only love the clothing. I don't think I would have really enjoyed living during that period of time :) However, loving back at it today, is quite enchanting.

    Beautiful costumes, but as you said, unfortunately to close to Halloween. But there is always a next time and I am sure with these great costumes you will be well positioned then.

    Fortunately the Renaissance Faires run throughout the year so that means fans will be seeking costumes at any time.

    Good idea, classy and classic. Nice lens. Too bad this was not up 3 weeks ago.
