Well all three... but my FIRST "Gut Feelings" are of something along the lines of Kate Blanchett's "Galadriel"! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
I'm an old/veteran "Rennie" and costumer and lover of LotR/Tolkien...
So if you want/need help and/or suggestions or you just to chat... feel free to shout out! 😊 | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
I sew, do leather work, historical clothing/costuming, pattern making.
I've been hand sewing since I was 5 and machine sewing since I was like 9 or 10. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
I get big Mother Earth vibes from you. My friend does a lot of Goat cosplay so maybe that's just on my mind but I think you belong to the woods either way. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
You are in fact, correct. 🧚♂️ Thank you for this assessment! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Are you attending the Minnesota Renaissance festival by chance? | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
I have gotten that before, both here and other places on the interweb! Also, Arwen! Either way I’m totally flattered, as I love both! Very ethereal 🤍 | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
HAH No... but I used to work up there many, many years ago!!! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
I was part of the "Celts Camp" and "Drum Jam"!!! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Well thank you for offering advice! I’ll message you if I have any questions :) | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Yes!
Ok... please don't think me strange... I'm a musician and I LOVE AND play "Celtic Music"...
And when I first saw you... music by the Irish, Ethereal Celtic Rock band called, "Clannad" popped into my head!
Especially music from their albums, "Legend" and "Sirius"! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
You are welcome. My pleasure.
If you just want to talk Ren Faires or whatever too. 😊 | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Oh I will definitely look into that! I love Celtic stuff! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Cool.
I play the Irish "Bodh'Ran" drum. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Also I've actually met and hung out/played with "Clannad" and Moyra Brennan!
They are all super cool!!! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Elf, for sure. You could do the other two, though. I'm going to throw in a vote for Pirate, as well. It's nice, having a backup persona or two. Gives you a reason to buy more stuff lol. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-06-08 |
Any time! Hope to see you out there! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |
Definitely elf. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |
You could definitely pull off a Galadriel look. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |
Witch is a profession, and both a fairy and elf can be one. So elf witch! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |

So, YEARS ago, I saw a photo of a larp group in England (Europe?) that had your color scheme, that shade of green and brown leather armor. I loved it, and somewhere in the bowels of my PC, that pic still lives. It's wedged in my weird, artist memory.
What I'm trying to say, is I love the look, and you 100% nailed i... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-08-08 |

Hey y’all! I’m going to a literature themed party and am dressing up (with my husband) as a vintage romance book cover. Fabio or bodice ripper adjacent.
Any recommendations for the flowy, off the shoulder kind of dress? | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |
The "milkmaid" styles would work perfectly for this and can be found most places these days. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
I have purchased some small skulls (a mink and cat skull). I'd like to hang them from my belt of my costume (female Shaman garb). I need suggestions on how to do that.
I was thinking of drilling holes and attaching them with fishing line but was wondering if there were better/nicer looking options.
Suggestions are m... | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |
Leather string is cheap at the hobby store or Amazon. Probably what I would do. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-07-08 |
I'd just use cord to string it through their eye sockets. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-08-08 |
Thank you | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-08-08 |
Thanks. That’s a much better idea than fishing string | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-08-08 |
So my husband(30m) and I (26f) are thinking about going to our very first Renaissance faire in September. This is something we have both been very interested in doing, and both are very excited. I am just curious if anyone has any tips and tricks for a couple of first timers, bonus points for ideas for costumes that ar... | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-11-08 |
The biggest tip is to wear good shoes. Nothing ruins a day more than getting blisters partially through the day because of footwear. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-11-08 |
Put a dress on with skirts under or above it and layer multiple. Pull the layers up and stuff them in your belt. You can get cheap corsets from Amazon :)) | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-11-08 |
Bring cash. Depending on your local fair, some restaurants or vendors may not accept cash. I know at the fair closest to me, some of the food vendor booths only take cash.
If you’re planning to dress up, dressed based on the weather. For example, where I am, it can get into the late ninety, early one hundred degree f... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-11-08 |
There’s two big things to remember above all else:
Have fun, and wear comfortable shoes.
People aren’t gonna care if you don’t have the most extravagant costume ever seen. YOU’RE not gonna care if you don’t. Just have fun, enjoy yourselves, and wear comfortable shoes. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-11-08 |
HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE (and beer is not water) You also need electrolytes and salt. If there is a pickle vendor then that is a good thing to get.
Wear comfortable shoes
Wear sunscreen
Bring cash (The vendors MAY have card readers, but the reception is usually SHITE)
HAVE FUN!!! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
On the plus side neither of us like beer 🤣 | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Bring cash. Big crowds kill the data signals at faires. They're always in a rural area and the cell towers aren't made for that influx of people. This WILL cause credit terminals to not work.
Dress for the weather
If it's hot, drink lots of fluids. I've seen too many people get carried off by first aid, simply becau... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Is there an option to rent costumes at this faire? It's a good way to get into the spirit and to shop for the fun costume bits and accessories you'll really love. Plus, regardless of weather, you'll have your street clothes clean and free of food stains for the drive home.
Seconded on comfortable shoes and hydrating. ... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
For your very first faire, comfort is key. Don't worry about a costume if whatever you wear is going to make you feel uncomfortable (itchy fabrics, too hot, too tight, fabric doesn't breathe and you feel like a baked potato in it), wear whatever you can spend hours outside in. If you enjoy it, maybe consider costuming ... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
1. More water/Gatorade than alcohol. At minimum, a bottle and a half of water to alcohol, dependent on weather. I have gone to the same Ren Faire the same weekend in September 2 different years. First year, I sat my rear down halfway through the day at the (thankfully covered) stage where they do Pub Sing (that's a thi... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Would second the renting of outfits!! Unless you've got a specific vision in mind (which I didn't my first faire; I went in normal clothing and now? Two different sets of garb after several years of prior attendance and both were put together over a decade ago), renting garb is a good way to go. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
If it’s the one in KC that opens in September, I definitely recommend comfy shoes, sunscreen, and a parasol. It gets HOT there. Having cash at hand is definitely a must as well because the food vendors do not take cards. It’s also hilly so pace yourself. You do not have to see everything in an hour.
Honestly, all of ... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
It is in Des Moines Iowa, but I definitely want to go to others | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Water, sunscreen, and cash will be your best friends! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Agreed!! Last year was my first time and I got a long velvet robe costume from Amazon and it covered my feet, I was bummed that I didn't have time to choose out shoes for my costume but OMG did it pay off wearing my normal tennis shoes! This year I didn't even try lol all of my outfit will be inspired except my shoes a... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Prepare to buy water, it was super expensive at our local faire but my husband ended up getting heatstroke and he never does, that man can hang out in 110° weather and just soak it in, but there's something about walking around all day, in a big crowd, out in the sun that makes the heat 10x stronger (also were in WA so... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |

Definitely second the good shoes, also bring an umbrella!! Atleast have one as a back up in your car! Also I like to eat a good breakfast before going, and definitely stay hydrated.. most importantly have fun!! I remember being nervous to dress up in the beginning, but it's so fun to dress up and see everyone's costume... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-16-08 |

My Viking outfit for my very first Renaissance fair (Castlefest, The Netherlands).
Any advice on how to elaborate and make this a more memorable, wow-factor outfit (including hair and make up)? | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
I’m going to be honest, this doesn’t read as Norse/Viking. It seems to be a generic fantasy faire costume.
In general Norse people took great pride in appearance. Adding jewelry would be an easy first step. Women tend to wore their hair in braids (you could add some beads to the braids for extra oomph). There is also... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-12-08 |
Thanks!
Adding trim is a great idea!
The dress was meant to have large silver ‘buckles’ on the sleeves, making it look sleeveless instead. However, wardrobemalfunctions (yeah, multiple) that morning thought otherwise.
There are small oval silver beads in the braids, as in, flat on the head and a few dangling mid bra... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
That’s frustrating about the corset. You can probably get better lacing from a fabric store plus I’ve met vendors who will replace corset laces for a small fee.
It’s a great base dress and the color is stunning on you. I zoomed in on your picture and can see the beads better. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
Thanks!
I got the drawstring from my usual dressmaker, who did the entire outfit. Which is miles out of her comfort zone. So we all learn together, haha | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
This was my first year going to Renfaire and it was such a blast! See you again next year! | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |

I’m an equestrian going to the Ren faire this year in MI, and I don’t want to buy separate boots just for the faire. I do have my riding boots, but I don’t know if the boots clash with the outfit I have picked out. Feedback? This is also my first faire so tips and stuff would be great! | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
No I like it | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
It looks good together! The only thing I'd check on is what material the clothes are made out of. Natural fibers breathe more and will be more comfortable outside when it's hot. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
It looks good, black and white is pretty common at the faire | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
Brown boots would be better with this outfit but black are more versatile. Also if the shirt/skirt are polyester it will be uncomfortable in the heat | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
Looks good to me. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |

Nope. I think it's super cute! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-13-08 |
I wouldn’t say it clashes. It’s not incredibly “matchy”, but it makes a ton of sense that you may have had some black and some brown things back then, so it may even hint at a higher level of “authenticity” or “lived-in-ness”.
I dove in and got myself all perfectly matching items, and found out the hard way that I thi... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-14-08 |
I think your biggest issue that you might have is the boots, and not a matching the outfit issue. They appear to be riding boots, which are very stiff (for the purposes of riding, of course) but if they aren't broken in before faire, then they may be a bit miserable to walk in the first time. I would highly suggest bre... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-14-08 |
Lol wrote all that to JUST read your text. You know what you're doing with those boots. But my point still stands, fresh boots at faire are killer | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-14-08 |
As long as you don’t mind walking and standing all day in the boots. Otherwise your look is fantastic! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-14-08 |
r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-16-08 | |
Both of those places would be good to check.
If you’re looking for super quick and fairly cheap: Linen loose pants, linen shirt and belt. Add to that boots/ sandals if you have them and walking stick. Also if it’s on hand a straw hat will help with the sun.
You can use that as a base for almost any look. If you find... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-17-08 |

Thanks | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-17-08 |
It is absolutely appropriate! I would suggest however that you bring a change of clothes for them. If not when the costume gets hot and sticky you will not have much fun because they will be very uncomfortable and angry the whole time.
