This year I am going to the Renaissance Faire with my school! YAY! We have to wear costume, so far I have collected a tan dress. The texture of the dress is a bit like soft burlap, however, I am not sure what to wear with it. I know that I would like a bodice (isn’t that what they called the small vest-like apparel that they wear over the dress?)
but I am not sure what colors were available to the lower class during the Renaissance, so I am not sure what color or texture of fabric to make that out of. Also, I need shoes, but I am a vegetarian and I would really prefer not to have to wear leather. If anyone can help, I’d be very appreciative!
Oh, and if it helps, I am tall (like 5 feet… and 3-4 inches?) and skinny, (only 100 pounds) I have long brown hair, so maybe hairstyles too, if you have any recommendations
Also, I don’t want to buy anything from a costume store or website. I prefer to go to Goodwill and look for things there. I am willing to buy fabric, etc., though.
Sorry that was so long ![]()
