“Garb” is the official terminology used by Renaissance fans for anyone dressed in costume. Those that attend without costume are called “mundane.” If attending your first Renaissance fair, you may be taken aback by the amount of people. These fairs are known to attract loyal visitors year after year. These regular, every day people enjoy taking a few days out of the year and “spicing it up” by donning a favorite Renaissance costume or medieval costume.
There are few times in history that mirror the dynamic era of the Renaissance. Actually, none equal this explosive time in creative discovery and social change. The middle ages are ripe with great costume potential. A medieval costume ranges from a daring knight, mystical wizard, simple servant girl, and not to forget the regal King and Queen.
At that, time there was great change in economic, political and cultural areas. Everyone knows that clothing was a reflection of his or her society stations. The Renaissance Era overlaps the late middle ages while there were great changes taking place, in science as well as art. Clothing at this time was fashioned with more elegance and style. Although still signifying their station in society they were granted a bit more flair in renaissance garb.
Want to go in a wench Renaissance costume? Most likely you will show a little of this and a little of that, as these women were not known for their conversation skills if you known what I mean? Rather go in a Maid Marian medieval costume? Your dress will be fairly elegant and demure. Robin Hood is another popular medieval costume. To complete the look symbols that signify “brave” and “courageous.” And not to forget the mysterious and magical wizard Merlin costumes. The wizard costume has specific necessary pieces, such as pointy hat and flowing robe. Your garb is most important when attending a Renaissance fair.
It is no wonder then that costume balls, Halloween parties or Renaissance Fairs find people on a mission to acquire medieval costumes and Renaissance costumes. These clothes allow us to be apart of such an important time in history. Imagine playing Queen for the day, and if you are going to a Renaissance Fair, I strongly advise going in the medieval costume or renaissance costumes to get the full effect of the event.
However, females need a word of warning as there is nothing like having to wear a corset. Before you become laced up, remember to take a good deep breath, as it will be a last deep breath afforded you, until you are unlaced from your costume. I do believe that the women of the Renaissance Era never took deep breaths until they went to their beds. Being laced in a corset explains tiny waistlines even on larger females. So while you are celebrating Halloween or attending a Renaissance Fair, be sure to enjoy yourself while really playing the part, dress up in a medieval or Renaissance costume and you will have the time of your life.
