I bet it would be so cute! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-17-08 |
Absolutely! I see a bunch of Disney princesses Everytime we go. Although, be warned, it could turn into a "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie" situation. Like: "if you let your daughters go to the Ren faire dressed as princesses, they'll get there and want tiaras. And if they want tiaras, they'll want matching wands..." Lol.... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-17-08 |
Absolutely
Nobody is going to fault a little kid. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-17-08 |
Heck yeah! I see adults in Disney costumes! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-18-08 |
Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent would match perfectly. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-18-08 |

So obviously I'm not talking about full Elizabethan regalia (I think even I would look at you kind of funny), but has anybody had their garb bleed over into everyday wear?
For context: I'm a vendor at a lot of faires, and as such I've selected my garb for simplicity, comfort, and ease of maintenance. My standard dre... | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |
If it fits, sure. Belts, cell phone cases, business bags and such tend to get good compliments because people can see the inherent quality of the goods. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |
Slashed puffy sleeves and capes need to make a comeback. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |
I wear garb outside of the faire all the time. I'm not wearing my leather armor or bell sleeves for daily wear, but some of my more casual pieces have wound up in my regular closet. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |
Absolutely. I’m also a faire vendor, and I ended up working in some of my linen skirts that fit my old normie job uniform requirements. Anytime I wore them, I’d get compliments intertwined with “What are you all dressed up for?” asked out of genuine curiosity.
I’ll wear my skirts with t-shirts, or wear my chemises wit... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |

I've worn my kilt outside of renFaire. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |
I have a friend who does the same thing because her garb works well as daily wear as well. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-19-08 |
absolutely! a few of my skirts are very "every day" looking when not paired with all my other stuff, and my Moresca pixie tops make it into the rotation quite a bit. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-20-08 |
I have a friend that wears his boots quite often. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-20-08 |
I've honestly been thinking about wearing one of my hoods around. I need sun protection for my bald head, and sometimes I don't wanna wear a hat! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-20-08 |
I usually wear a codpiece to work. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-20-08 |
I wear some of my stuff, yeah. Verillas is good for blending the style into daily wear. Mishu as well. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-20-08 |
I wear long flowy skirts pretty much every day at work, it gives an overall cottagecore feel. I have worn my rectangular constructed dress at work before as well. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-20-08 |
I have a cute leather piece I picked up at Koroneburg this past June and I wear/use it when I go out.
It was originally a belt pouch and I modified it so I could hook a strap to it and use it as a purse or on my belt as a hip / leg bag | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-22-08 |
I'm planning on going to the Texas renfair this fall, I'm currently working on making the outfit. I noticed all swords must have a scabbard and be peace tied, but what about prop weapons (made of foam, plastic, wood, etc)?

I got this shoulder piece and I can’t figure out how it works, there’s a rope that came with it but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to tie it correctly so it sits flat. Anyone have any ideas or tips on how to get it to work? | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-22-08 |

Yea, return that shit. Looks like it's missing the leather straps for one, and it's amazon just k that's going to shred after 1 or two uses.... and you're going to see 30 other people with the exact "prime special" garb | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-22-08 |
Share a picture of you wearing it so we can see what the issue is. It should “sit flat” when you cinch down the two leather straps across the bicep. The curvature of the top portion is to cover your shoulder and allow for movement. If it’s too loose and sliding around, then you just need to cinch the belts tighter. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-22-08 |
I bought something extremely similar and also could not figure out how to wear it. The material was so shitty and flimsy that I was pretty confident it was going to tear if I even got it on (I'm a big dude) - I returned it right away. Decided I'd maybe splurge on a nice real leather one next year. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-22-08 |
It looks like the rope goes in the two cutout holes near the top (first and second pic). That rope holds the shoulder strap that you have in the bag | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-22-08 |
Will do, I am at work but can when I’m off | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
It is not missing them, I didn’t picture them and will when I get home. I’m also not the type of person to be upset if I see someone wearing the same costume piece as me, I’m not sure why that should matter. I saw it, I liked it so I bought it (also not from Amazon) | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
I may do that next year but since I’ve never been and not sure if it’s something I would want to do, I decided to do a low budget first year before spending a bunch of money haha | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
I'm just telling you that I know that piece and it's POS chineseium. Return it or live with frustration | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
I am not able to return it but it was super cheap so I’m not concerned, it’s my first one so I’m just seeing how I like it before investing a bunch of time and energy | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
I'm a broken record in this group but check out darkknightarmoury.com they have a ton of LEGIT leather stuff.
I have a full leather set and all pieces are incredible quality. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
This. There should be some tie points on the strap, holes go at the top of your shoulder, towards your collarbone and the leather buckle goes around your arm to keep it in place.
Here’s a photo of my own shoulder system for reference. Somewhat different but the principle should remain the same with the y-strap harness... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
If the picture is the image you bought off of def return that. It doesn't even look like the same item.
If you want to go lower budget. Look around at what people might be selling. In some cases you might find someone upgrading and getting rid of older items. Or someone who can't attend anymore due to health reasons.... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
Hmm. Do you have a photo of you wearing the new ones? I guess I'm not understanding what you mean by 'sits flat'. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |
Once you are there, someone who sells them can show you how to do it. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-23-08 |

I’ve got a plan for a dragon/wizard combo outfit, I’ve already purchased little dragons and wings + claws and scales for one arm, then horns and a tail.
It’s a lot and I’m worried that by the time Ren Fair comes around, I’ll take some attention away from the people that actually got hired to perform. What can I do to ... | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
You’ll be fine. People dress to the nines in garb. I wouldn’t tone it down if I were you, but I’d make sure those wings aren’t obstructing anyone. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
Yeah I looked into it more and have decided its best if I don’t go with the wings, I’ll just do more for the rest of the outfit :)
The wings add stress I can’t handle lol | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
First of all, that's an incredibly considerate attitude. Good on you.
If it's just an outfit and you're not doing any kind of performance, nobody's going to complain. In fact, you'll get as many compliments from the performers as you do from the other guests. You're going to be a hit. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
My sister loved seeing elaborate costumes with the very detailed wings, she even asked for a photo with her favorite version. Idk how people sit with the full length ones but they were gorgeous. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
I appreciate that you don't want step on anyone's toes but I think you're worrying over nothing. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
Thank you! | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
You sound passionate about your garb. If you are handy and bold theres a ton you can still alude to. This is a great chance to rock a cloak with large wings pattern sewn into the outer fabric. You can still create some desired affects if you do the inside of the cloak with feathers as well. Never forget the design cycl... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
This actually just gave me an idea for the illusion of wings, thank youuu :) | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-24-08 |
I've seen patrons in incredibly elaborate costuming. as a performer, it's never bothered me or made me feel like it's taking away from my gig.
Just don't go on a stage (unless invited by the performer), and don't have a tip bucket or accept tips if offered. And honestly even that is mostly because a lot of shows will ... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
Thats a fantastic idea! I’ll look into that and try to find something similar :)
Thank you so much for the feedback from the other side! (Like- from someone who works there) I was going into this super excited and then hit the brakes and was like- “WAIT HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? Is this allowed 😭” and then I felt incred... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
I've been going to the faire for a few years now. This is my first year participating in trinket trading and it was so worth it! Now I've got to crochet a bunch more stars by next weekend!

To start, this is not about the cast, vendors, patrons, workers. They are doing the best they can and do a great job.
Over the past ten years, the festival has become considerably worse. My understanding is that mirf is the most profitable and well attended out of the three faires the owners have, but they refuse to ... | r/renaissancefestivals | post | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
They won’t invest until they have to.
Did you see how excited people were about them expanding the grounds just the tiniest bit? They cleaned out around a half acre and people lost their shit and called it amazing.
Meanwhile shop buildings and stages crumble, a growing number of vendors hawk merchandise fresh from Al... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
Well the decline in attendance is never going to happen unless another festival is built in Michigan. I know lots of little ones have popped up recently, but it’s not making a dent. It needs competition, it needs oversight. The arched wall is enough to shut the whole thing down. Who do you even report the insane hazard... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
No, I agree. We decided to just skip it this year. It's gotten expensive and crowded without really adding anything to the experience. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
You couldn't have laid it out any better. I haven't been doing mirf nearly as long, only about 5-6 years. Bristol is my home faire and I started driving out to other faires in 2019. Fell in love with mirf but have quickly seen the politics behind closed doors as I started doing vending. Ohio is now my go to because it ... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the same group who just bought Scarborough? | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
Honestly?
It has oversite. The Licensing and Regulatory Agency of Michigan oversees and inspects annually, what little good that does.
You’d be more likely to get some action to be had if either the actors, showrunners or vendors organized in some fashion.
Sadly with the state of things most vendors that I’m acqu... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |

I heard Scarborough grounds are lovely, but there was some big scandal last year. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
I didn't hear anything about a scandal but a lot of people local to MN say the people who run it are shady as all hell.
That may just be salty ass gossip I couldn't say I live about 1400 miles away but it's got me a little concerned.
Edited for accuracy. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
>I heard Scarborough grounds are lovely, but there was some big scandal last year.
Scarby is beautiful and did sell but I'm not sure to who, I've head no word of any scandal about it.
Could you be mixing up the Texas fairs? TRF is a shit show and had the documentary along with some other things I've heard about. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
Oh that might be. I heard something about a Texas faire and a worker being inappropriate. Might be the other one. | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-25-08 |
The only hope is a new owner. Peterson does not care about anything but profit in his own pocket. No money goes back into the festival. Shop owners have to cover all the upkeep and improvements on their booths out of their own pocket. Performers didn't come back post-pandemic because MidAmerica decided 50% of their nor... | r/renaissancefestivals | comment | r/RenaissanceFestivals | 2024-26-08 |
Management at MN sucks and that's being polite. MN is great despite of management and Peterson, not because of them. I'd love it if instead of hoarding all the money the faires he owns brings in that Peterson would reinvest just some of it back into those faires.
