I want to buy a costume for the Renaissance festival that is truly authentic. I considered buying a costume at the festival, a corset and top, perhaps a pirate hat, and a parasol. However, I have been looking around online, and I am considering buying an authentic costume online. What do you think is best? I want a true corset, not the fake ones, and I know they sell them at the festival, but I have also seen them online. What do you think is the best idea to save money? Buy online or buy at the festival?
I want a corset, a chemise, and either pirate pants or a wench/pirate skirt, and perhaps a pirate hat (which I will probably get online). I already have two pairs of boots I can wear, and a flowered hair piece. And I can make a skirt pretty easily if I really wanted to.
I did find this website:
http://www.pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe.com/
but the only true corset they have is this one:
http://www.pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe.com/canvas-corset.html
And I really wanted one of these outfits:
http://www.pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe.com/dutchess-onyx-set.html
http://www.pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe.com/countess-rose-set.html
http://www.pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe.com/pirate-queen-set.html
But they’re not true corsets…. Do you think that matters? Will it be close enough?
Merci!
