Renaissance Faire Costumes - Choosing the Best Renaissance Outfit

Outfits inspired by the Renaissance era are some of the most visually appealing costumes you can find. That is one of many reasons why attendance at Renaissance faires continues to climb year after year.

For those who want to know how to choose the best garb for a Renaissance feast, here are few tips to combine high fashion, elegance, and stunning design in one:

1. Search Through Renaissance Costumes Found in Books

You can use art history books from the Renaissance era for costume ideas. These should contain some pictures or paintings of how people dressed in that time.

This is the main idea: use the basis of what was popular in Renaissance culture and develop an individual costume by putting your own unique flair into the final presentation.

2. The Service of a Local Couturier

Renaissance costumes will only be considered the best if you find the best designer to work on a custom outfit. A couturier can add some fashion elements to a design that will really make it pop.

Having your own designer will allow you to choose preferred patterns and styles where you can also ask for a designers fashion sense in terms of mix of colors, creative embellishments, and fancy details.

3. Find Resources Online

Because more and more content is being added to the internet daily, it is quite easy to use search engines to find renaissance costume patterns, elegant headwear, and accessories from that period.

So, if you're having a difficult time choosing which Renaissance costume will fit you best, the internet will never fail to give you accurate, artistic, and quirky costume ideas.

Creating a renaissance period atmosphere is a bit challenging especially if one doesnt have any idea how to provide a real renaissance look. So follow these steps to find and create your perfect renaissance costume.

I have an Appy and i need a costume does anyone where to get patterns for horse costumes?

I'm thinking of entering a costum show and i need a costume though. My horse is an Appy that is alittle more than 14 hands if not exact. I can sow real well so I figured I could make a costume but i was wondering if there are any paterns to make it easier. Also does anyone have any ideas or know where to buy costume for horses?

I don't really know of any patterns but have you looked through different horse catalogs to get ideas. I've always had to make all of mine own costumes or I borrow one. The easiest one I did was a painter's outfit. I have a tobiono paint mare and we dressed up as painters. I bought two pair of bib overalls, one for me and one the biggest size they had. I bleached them both white, then splattered paint all over both of them. Then I fitted the overalls to my horse and tied them to my saddle. I put a paint brush in her tail and one on her headstall and I also tied a empty paint bucket to her chest. I thought it was cute and I won first place.
