I’m aware of the Peasants, Nobility, Fairies, LOTR characters, and Pirates. What other types of characters are acceptable for the Faire?
I’ve been trying to do internet research for costume preparation but I’m not able to find what I’m looking for, which specifically is the "barbarians" or people that wear beards, leather, and fur.
What are they called exactly? Links or pictures would be great.
Thank you!
They most likely have a leather or plastic interior, but almost always have a leather or fur outside. They have a long strap so that it can be warn across the body and fall along side the hip. They also have a screw on cap and are shaped sort of like a waxing (1/4) moon.
I love going to the Renaissance Festival in different costumes and this year I want to go as a awesome barbarian *I’m a girl, so it has to be for a girl* or a really fancy dress, like Elizabeth Swann’s, but not just like that dress. I’ve gone on ebay and tried to find barbarian costumes, but all I found were those stupid kiddish ones that were pink or un-renaissance. Any ideas? If you’ve gone to any renaissance activity and dressed up in a totally awesome outfit, where did you get your outfit? I see the guys at the ren fest with the armor with all the horns and stuff and the leather wings, the guys that work there, but where in the world do they get their outfits?! Please help!!!
And yes, I know Elizabeth is 1800’s but I was talking about the fancyness. And barbarians as in a person who wears leather or fur, carries around an axe or some sort of weapon…Like so: http://www.wingedmammal.com/action_photos_1999/kiva_fyrewulf_making_a_point.jpg
