2025 (left) was my first year I ever went. I wasn’t really sure what to expect and kept to a pretty tight budget. I didn’t realize it until I went there that I looked like every other amazon copy and paste male. Every piece of clothing was made with 100% polyester.
This year I scrapped everything. I bought new COTTON clothes, wore boots instead of sneakers, and added small details that really finished the look.

Overall i’m very happy with the progression I made between the two years. Is it historically accurate? No. Did I have fun? Yes! Lol.

I took everyone’s suggestions with me to the hobby lobby yesterday and bought some wooden buttons and some leafy greens.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone! This is my second renfaire and I wanted to elevate my costume.

My character is meant to be a runaway prince, working for another kingdom as a guard.

2 things I want to preface:
• I am male but my structure is pretty feminine. Any advice on keeping a boxy shape would be appreciated.
• I’m going in 1 week! So quick and easy changes only please.

I plan on going to the thrift store this weekend so let me know if there’s anything I should keep my eyes out for.

I work at a preschool and somebody donated their ham-ham 🤍

Hi I hope this is ok for here. My mom planted a bunch of different strawberry varietals. This came up and she wasn’t sure if it’s one of the seed types or a mutant. Is this a special kind of strawberry?
