In the following article, I will illustrate you some good ideas on the renaissance clothing for a renaissance festival. In women’s clothing in the medieval style, there are mainly two kinds: the wealthy women and the middle class women which also refers to the working class women. For the wealthy women, there are numerous kinds of clothes they can choose. The corsets, bodices, skirts, over-skirts, farthingales, kirtles, gowns, head-dresses and cornets are available. All those medieval dresses are charming and alluring. The colors in the costumes always apply the plum, red, blue and green. There are, of course, some other colors, but these are the most classic ones. The fabrics are better than for the middle class women. It includes silk, flax linen and wool. Theses are hard to get materials in the medieval period. And other than that, the detail and the workmanship for medieval clothing is more exquisite than for the normal women. And for the middle class women costumes, one can choose the dresses and corsets and skirts in the colors of black, gray, orange, yellow and violet which are easily extracted from berries or plants. Generally speaking, alternative apparel in medieval are really alluring. The material and the detail will not be as delicate as the clothes for the wealthy women, but it show a close relation to the nature. Linen shirt, doublet, jerkin, breeches, stockings, flat hat, cloak, cape, short leather boots, moccasins, and sword and dagger are worn by men in the medieval alternative clothingstyle. And when it comes to the color part, you can select whichever you like. Cause there is not big gap on the use of colors. There was no such thing as “play clothes” for children during the Renaissance. They simply wore miniature versions of what their parents wore. Alternatively, a child could get by in a plain muslin gown or chemise until the age of four or five. The renaissance festival is becoming more and more popular. Every year, there is a very large amount of people attend it.

What kind of Vintage Medieval Dress Styles is Perfect

Whether you are going to a Renaissance fair or attending a medieval costume party, there are several different alternative clothing ideas to choose from. The feudal and class-based society of the Middle Ages led to several different styles of clothing, depending on their status. During the medieval period, there were some nuns, monks and clergymen. And these medieval nuns and monks often wore long, flowing woolen gowns. The color of their gowns or habits indicated their order, so a black habit is the choice for dressing up as a Benedictine monk while a white one indicates you are dressing as a member of the Cistercian order. The style of medieval dresses worn by many monks and nuns has not changed dramatically since medieval times. People in nowadays wear in the modern style and still love the vintage clothes which were worn and popular in the old times. Some of them want to dress themselves in another style which is seldom seen, or called the alternative apparel on theme parties or the informal occasions. If you do not have any idea about what to choose, here I will focus on the medieval fancy dress with vintage feel which includes the clothing of peasants, of religious use, of aristocracy and of knights. Here I will explain it one by one. The majority of people over ninety percents in medieval times were peasants. At that time, peasants primarily wore clothing made of wool they wove themselves, although current dress-up versions may be made of cotton or synthetic fabrics. Dress up you as medieval peasant men include stockings and long shirts or tunics. Women could wear the long gowns with wimples over their heads and long tunics over their dresses. No matter for women or men, the medieval clothing choice of long gown matching with tunic is popular. And as the footwear, the peasant women and men may wear the leather boots. Knights existed only in this period. So a choice of the knight costume may make you the definitely a medieval person. Knights wore tights and a tunic under a suit of armor made from either chain mail or large plates of steel. Actual suits of armor are unwieldy, expensive and difficult to wear, so for Halloween or another costume party medieval fancy dress may be more comfortable. There was only less than ten percent of aristocracy in the medieval age. The fabric used in their clothes became much better and richer than for the peasants. Medieval aristocracy wore fine middle ages clothing of silk and linen. Dressing up as a medieval king, queen, lord or lady requires an elegant long gown for women and tights with a jacket or a tunic and overcoat for men. These are perfect to be a medieval upper class.
