Renaissance Festival

[Anonymous]

What about a dress that laces up either the front or back like a corset if you have one? Otherwise one of those frilly pleated collar blouses from jcrew or what have you, or something with bell sleeves (Caroline constas from a few years ago, likely available for resale online?)? I’d add the Isabel marant knot and a big camel-colored cape from Max Mara if anppropriate for weather and call it a day. But also this is coming from someone with zero interest in Ren Fair who is surprised by the number of new mom acquaintances in the area who seem really excited about it.

FWIW Ren Fest outfits are oretty much anything from full Tudor costume to Cosplay for pretty much any Fandom you can think of, plus lots of people in t shirts and jeans. So whatever you like and feel comfortable with will totally be fine.

My kid always has a great time and the Ren Fair.

1) For going to the Renaissance festival (the one in Md, I imagine)

and

2) Planning to wear a costume. Are you 12?

I am embarrassed for you. You lack any creativity or fun in your life I bet. Wet blanket!

I’m going, OP and I’m 45 and my girlfriends (all attractive moms who are either attorneys doctors or consultants) are coming and we are going in corsets and long skirts and drinking mead and having a ball! Get a floral headpiece from Amazon to complete any look!

The ren fest is lots of fun and great people watching. You can rent a costume there - the rentals are right when you walk in. That would be your best bet.

Or, just wear your normal clothes this year, but people watch and see if there is a type of costume you’d be interested in buying. You will see there are so many different types and may regret having bought something in advance.

I’ve gone almost every year but never dressed up. So, it’s not required and you’ll have fun either way.

You can rent a costume there as soon as you walk in!

Last time we went there was a Starfleet away team roaming around studying this strange planet they'd just beamed down to.
