r/renfaire

Cobbled together this outfit for a renfaire earlier this year. Wanted to show off the look and get suggestions for a “leveled up” version

Hello,

I'm going to my first renfaire in a couple months. I've always loved the Tudor Era and wanted to dress like it. I bought what I could without it getting costly. I plan on getting the dress hemmed and dry-cleaned. I've bought a new French hood and it won't after for another couple of weeks. How does it look?

I have recently come to the realization that owning The Sanctuary technically makes me an international arms dealer.

We sell swords, axes, armor, shields, helmets, and assorted implements of medieval violence.

And we have customers from outside the United States.

Therefore:

Arms: Yes.
Dealer: Yes.
International: Yes.

I see absolutely no reason why additional context should be necessary.

I mix and match between two tunics and sometime with fur or no fur because this florida sun/heat is a wench! Please tell me if i should add or subtract anything! Plus im trying to get a weapon to go with the outfit! Drop suggestions for a weapon

Perhaps I’m a bard at heart, trapped inside the armor of a Paladin.

Either way, there are few things I enjoy more than telling tales that earn a laugh, raise a glass, or leave someone with a story worth remembering.

I’ll be wandering the Texas Renaissance Festival again this year. I usually travel solo and roam the grounds on my own—following whatever music, mischief, or adventure catches my attention.

I tend not to impose myself on other people’s revelry, but meeting new people is genuinely one of the highlights of Faire for me. So if you happen across a lone Paladin wandering the lanes, don’t mistake solitude for wanting to be left alone.

Say hello. Share a story. Point me toward something I shouldn’t miss.

Perhaps we’ll leave the Faire with another tale worth telling.

I was actually surprised that anyone recognized us

Had an absolutely wondrous time at the ren Faire this weekend as King Arthur and Patsy!!! We met many horses and knights to join the round table, defeated some rabbits, ate frozen coconuts, rallied up the crowd of the joust for England, and even partook in a hobby horse race 🐎

(Female pirate costume) I don’t have boots to wear, but I have these. I’m not dismissing the boot idea quite yet, but I don’t wear boots ever so I’d be spending more money than I want to buy quality boots from the get go, I don’t want to get anything cheap or tacky.

These are "kierpce,” a Polish folk leather shoe. Would they really look that out of place on a pirate costume?

Hi all! This is a super weird/random request here but I believe in the power of people! My brother found this shirt/jacket at the thrift a couple years ago and wears it basically everyday. He wants a new one as his is starting to show more wear that we can’t really keep up with (holes, discoloration, starting to become see through) I have searched the google for weeks trying to find one and there is one one website I can find selling it but there are no reviews so I’m not to trusting on this site.
If anyone at all happens to have this from previous years costumes or will be done with it after this year please let me know! I’ll obviously be HAPPY to pay for it as well as any shipping fees.
TIA! :)

I'm going for a fantasy fighter look. I have a helmet but it's hot out so I decided not to put it on.

Lowkey super hyped and cannot WAIT for KRF. Only a few more weeks until I go 🩷

Hello friends, need help with this outfit. I got this blue dress from the thrift and would love to wear it to my next faire. I have this blush/cream petal skirt I thought would look good with it, I’ve put it together and idk how I feel but I would love for this to work. I know I need to add other pieces and accessories, what can I add to make it come together? Open to all ideas and diys
Pls ignore the background :}

Edit: I don’t even know who I want to be. Fairy, Princess, Washwoman as suggested.
I have about 1.5 months to figure it out, can definitely do some thrifting once I decide my character.

This was before we got soaked to the gills because the rain absolutely did not stop 👍
