Cheap Renaissance Costume Ideas

So have you been hanging around waiting for the next installment of cheap costume ideas?  I've got some great ideas for this years Renaissance Fair.  But here is the place to go if you're more interested in beautiful medieval renaissance costumes.

The Renaissance fair is just around the corner and wouldn't it be fun to dress as a period character during that time?

For those of you that haven't been to a Renaissance fair, go! They are so much fun. All the staff is in period costume. Mostly tavern wenches, but a few noblemen and women (this is especially fun for the kids to see). They have food from the period, giant turkey legs mmmmm!!, and crafts which are made by vendors. One vendor, who I hope I find again, makes these little fairies out of clay. So gorgeous and delicate. Unfortunately I could only afford 1 a year so I have a total of 3. They have lots of great jewelry vendors with bangles and ankle bracelets. You can buy period costumes there as well , but they're quite expensive. Worth it if you go back to the faire every year.

One of the most fun things they have at the Renaissance fair is the jousting tournaments and Swordsmanship Tournaments. Sometimes these are staff members, but sometimes they are people who have trained in the different areas. Everything is as authentic as possible during these, I mean they can't actually use a lot of the same equipment from the period, but its still pretty close. They usually have a king and queen presiding over the tournaments and hold one about every 4 hours or so. Its been a while since I've been to one.

So back to the costumes. The noblemen and women of the period wore lots of silks, satins and velvets. The peasants wore big blousy shirts with wide belts. Usually their clothing was made of wool.

I mean seriously how cool was Lady Guenivere and Sir Lancelot?

Tavern wenches were great too. There are a lot of sexy adult costumes for a tavern wench. Truthfully I always thought the tavern wenches that we base costumes from were ladies of the evening, so to speak oO.

Still not sure anything is cuter than a kid running around as a little Maid Marion or Sir Lancelot with the whole sword and shebang thing going on!

There are a lot of sites that make authentic looking Renaissance costumes for the Renaissance faire, however, they can cost like 300 bucks and that my friends.. aint cheap! And I'm all about cheap costumes here!

You can find lots of cheap renaissance costumes at Amazon.com. I've listed a few here! Cheaper is better. I always say!
