We have medieval and renaissance dresses, gowns, shirts and hats that come in a variety of styles, shapes, sizes and colors. Going lower still, a peasant woman would have a single color, plain boned bodice.

Where a lady of the aristocracy might expect to wear a corset as a near requirement, except when in her chambers, a merchant's wife might wear a bodice that was heavily boned, but no underlying corset, giving her more freedom of movement. The Poor - Clothing in the Renaissance for everyday became less like 'costumes', both in formal and daily wear as you went lower in the class system. Historians and artists generally do not record the activities of the poor. This is natural, as most of the examples we have of Renaissance clothing are from paintings and written descriptions. This is true, but only because we tend to associate the formal clothing of the nobility with the period. To the modern eye, Renaissance costume appears to be highly constrictive and extremely uncomfortable. Style was paramount, and both men and women in the Renaissance wore clothing we would consider costumes, similar to the 'costumes' we wear in formal occasions today. The Nobility - The popular image that we have of Renaissance costume particularly that of England is what was worn by the upper classes. Step into your renaissance character and be transformed to the Renaissance Era. Whether you are strolling around the Renaissance Faire, planning a Medieval wedding, or dancing around the fires at Pennsic War, we create apparel that will take you back through the ages with timeless grace and beauty. Medieval dresses are perfect for the Fair, Re-enactments, and even as bridesmaids gowns. Be you an authentic peasant, swashbuckling pirate, or nobility, dress to your taste and preference. We carry high quality Renaissance clothing, and medieval costumes - authentic medieval clothing that reflects your own unique style.
