- čas přidán 9. 06. 2024
- RenFaire Survival Guide part 2 - today we’re covering clothing! Dressing up is my favorite part of Renaissance Festivals and I’ve collected a lot of clothes and a lot of information that I hope will help you guys out! Check out the links for brands I mention in this video, some of them are affiliate links and help me out if you purchase through them! I will also be making another video that goes into more specific brands I like for RenFaire clothing and accessories, and another video entirely about accessories, but for now I thought we’d cover basics of how to put together an outfit, what kind of materials to look for, and things like that. Plus styling some outfits at the end, and a brief appearance by Micah for some men’s clothing! If you have any other suggestions for topics you’d like to see in the future or brands you especially love please leave me a comment!

Pockets that tie around the waist and can be hidden under clothes are a great option too for carrying things like money and cell phones. Keep the precious items close to your body, external bags can get jostled and items can fall out. There can also be sticky fingers in big crowds.
Yes! Tie pockets are a great idea 🥰
i was going to comment this!! 18th century embroidered pockets are perfect
I've really grown to love runners belts for this. They go under my shirt and its just big enough to hold any essentials without adding awk bulk
I was going to say the same thing! They can be really big, and then you can swap them amongst various skirt colors. It makes the skirts easier to sew. I make mine from ikea curtains or bedsheets. I will say, if you’re planning to really fill them up it helps to have tabbed stays on, as they help to keep the pockets from slipping and distribute the weight evenly. Same with heavy belt bags.
Adding to the costume year after year is what I've been doing. I compare it to levelling up a D&D or game character with new props and clothing pieces
love this way of looking at it ! 🥹⚔️
omg same!
on footwear, if you opt for sneakers or whatever because they're more comfy than matchy-matchy shoes, you can always make shoe covers so they match better to your costume
Shoe covers are genius!!!
Currently building outfits for myself and my kid for MDRF, thank you for these perfectly timed suggestions! (High cut flat boots for the win, seriously... so many roots to battle!)
Mdrf has some rough terrain 😅 I guess that’s the trade off for all nice shade
Bonus cat! Very helpful. My hiker/camper boyfriend was thrilled with you mentioned the high-tech polyesters, but I can't actually SEW with that, so I just avoid poly... I was raised in the humid south. I don't wear plastic. :p Thank you!!
WAIT I'VE SEEN THAT MUSHROOM VIDEO AND I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS YOU !! I love mushrooms and renaissance fashion and I thought those costumes were the coolest thing i had ever seen
Lots of great info, thank you. The "thrown together" outfits are a fabulous inspiration. I'm currently fostering a black kitten that makes high pitched protest sounds like Baby Bat lol. Little Yoongi will probably be a foster-fail because omg so cute!
I knew Renaissance Fairs existed but definitely not anywhere close to me so I didn’t bother (despite absolutely loving historical fashion)
So when a brand new one started within a reasonable driving distance I got really excited. Then I actually started looking into it and realized that Ren fairs are “Renaissance-ish but historically inaccurate to the point of tears so it’s actually just fantasy”
My heart loves all the whimsy but my head hurts knowing they didn’t have corsets until the very end of the 16th century 😢
I’m still probably gonna go, but I’m lowering my expectations and I’m also might look weird wearing a 1490s gamurra😅
It depends on the fair! My local faire has plenty of fantasy vendors and attendees but it's organized by historical enthusiasts and it's centered on Queen Elizabeth's reign (I think they're in the 1580s now). There's another one in my state that does one weekend as-fantasy-as-you-want and the other weekend hardcore historical. So there's a solid chance you won't be alone!
@@erinshear8026 I actually ended up turning around in the parking lot and not going in. I had a terrible headache and didn’t want to spend $50* to do a lap then leave. I saw a lot of people dressed up (nothing accurate lol) but my dress turned out to be too small and I didn’t have time to fix it (and I did a mock up even! The extra layers messed it up somehow)
*Tickets for me & husband
Husband consoled me by saying that we should plan a trip to Minneapolis for the Minnesota Renaissance Fair instead because it probably would be a better experience, and we were already looking at taking our son to Mall of America.
Next summer we will have fair in our city again and I’m told it’s really small but really good.
Why do you care what other people are wearing? You’re the type of person who ruins things for others. Thanks for not going.
Natural fabrics are always the way to go
Old Navy also has a lot of cottage core dresses and in natural fibers (cotton & linen).
Going to the MD faire this weekend!! I was going to wear my sequin covered fairy costume but am thinking of pivoting due to rain/mud 😅 So this was super helpful, thank you!
I’ve been stalking a pair of tall vintage foundry boots for a few years now and after I saw that you have some, I finally pulled the trigger on them! Will you show us how you style your tall lace up boots for everyday wear? 😊
I’m going to Renfaire for the first time this year and I have already done cosplay in the past for different events and I’m making my garb and I’m very excited about it
I checked out Linen Naive and fell in love with their designs. However, it seems they might be a scam. They are based out of China and their quality does not match the prices. I read some reviews online, and people are saying to not buy from them. What a shame.
Found out there's a ren fair near me bc of your last video, now I'm planning on going to my first ren fair bc of you!
I'm planning my outfit now and this was really helpful!
I regularly go to Bicolline in Quebec, which is a week long larp. This advice is really good for clothing there too!
i really want to to go to bicolline next year!
I’m preparing for my local faire next week and there’s no shade lots of dirt and it can get cold and windy this time of year so I’m doing a more casual simple look this year because like you said I just don’t have the energy to keep track of all my usual accessories. I figure go simple and I most likely will get a bodice or corset to add on while there lol. Targets wild fable is my FAVORITE brand to get for base pieces too! I wear that style as my usual outfits too!I made the mistake of wearing flats once, NEVER AGAIN, my feet were so blistered
These videos are amazing thank you!!
Here in New Mexico, we have a Ren faire in Santa Fe that happens in early autumn, so of course desert place and summer weather sticking it will be hot but it is nice and the fairy grove has a lot of trees so best area to go and cool off from the heat while still outside, then there is a Celtic Fest in Edgewood the season is early spring, and since this is New Mexico the weather will be unpredictable and possibly very windy since it is behind the mountains and it will snow. I have been to both and they very are nice, if it is pretty windy expect some of the dealers might pack up and leave.
I'm always so excited to see uploads from you!! Thanks for another awesome video!!
Aw thank you so much!🥰
I love your style 😍
great video! a lot of useful info 🧡
Thank you! I’m glad it’s helpful!!
@@moth.faeriedo you have any suggestions for people with reduced mobility, I mainly use a wheelchair or walker and other people may use walking sticks etc..
Did you mention where that blue dress is from? It's killer!!
It’s from Linennaive
Im gonna wear a pretty dress so the guys notice me finally :)
💕
ngl, I was kind of hoping for a dramatic romance novel pose at the end with those outfits, lol
More sewing please
This year me and my friends are going to a ren faire dressed up as camp half blood campers (I'm a redhead so obviously I'm going to be ✨️rachel✨️
YESSS LOVE IT
Wanted to make a comment and ask a question.
I want to maybe use leather in my outfit, but.. I have no idea how to wash and take care of leather.
Maybe you or other individuals can help me out with this?
I really want to make a pirate and eventually a Viking/Norse outfit, I hope I can pull it off. 😅
(Don’t know how to sew btw, oof.)
I don’t know much, but I do know that leather is hard to “wash”, like don’t throw it in the wash/soak it in water, it will shrink and become stiff. Always make sure you are wearing a base layer to keep the leather from getting too sweaty. Also, it will be more difficult to try to learn sewing leather. You could just sew it by hand or piece it together , tying it with leather strings (then it is adjustable if you gain/lose weight!) good luck :)
@@misstweetypie1 Thank you for the advice!! I Really appreciate it!! ☺️
you mentioned preferring real leather over pleather. Do you happen to know where someone could find some pleather outfit pieces if they had that preference? My partner and I try to live as vegan as possible and ren fairs are always filled with leather, hides, bones, and other animal biproducts :/
so I try not to use pleather bc most pleather is plastic and doesn't biodegrade, but leafling bags makes really cute backpacks and belt bags made of vegan cork leather so definitely recommend them!
careful, viscose is really pollutant, tencell is the better alternative although slightly more expansive
Did you lose weight? You look good 👍
I had jaw Botox for teeth grinding and it’s narrowed my face a bit! Ty for the compliment, but I’d like to just personally request no more comments about weight as it’s something I tend to fixate on if brought to my attention!
Edit- I mean comments specifically praising for weight loss, and this is more a general request for everyone not just for you! Sorry if that was confusing!
There's no need to fixate on anything. You looked good before and you look good now. Wanting to change or fix something is normal but you have nothing to worry about.
It’s just a product of decades of diet culture, so still working on it!
