How should I dress for a Renaissance fair?

Wear a skirt or dress that reaches the floor or your ankles for a typical Renaissance look. Wear a gown or dress over your chemise and corset, or a separate skirt to complement your corset or bodice. Avoid any ruffles, adornments, or patterns on skirts.

Do you have to dress up for a Renaissance fair?

It’s totally not necessary to dress up at all. Also know that you can if you want to, and that you don’t have to go all out or be period-accurate. The most important thing is to be comfortable and dressed for the weather (which, since our faire runs in July, can be HOT).

How do you tie a Renaissance bodice?

How to Lace a Renaissance Fair Bodice

Why do female pants have no pockets?

Women’s fashion became more complex and less functional (think-corsets and bustles) and garments were designed to fit more tightly.
