Remember those Renaissance fairs that the Jr. High would hold each year? The airy music and elaborate medieval costumes made for an interesting and creative atmosphere. Why not take a break from the everyday and visit a Renaissance fair as an adult? If you don't have a Renaissance costume, don't worry. The fair will have clothing shops that cater to people of all sizes and age. If anything, go into one of these shops just to enjoy the craftsmanship and intricacy of the beautiful garbs.

"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.

The reason that so many people are driven to medieval costumes and renaissance costumes is the time that they reference. We are talking about a moment in history when radical change was taking place. Starting in the Middle Ages, or what we would term medieval, we think of knights and wizards and servant girls, Kings and Queens that, though royal, were not elegant. It was a classical society.

This was a time of incredible political, cultural and economic change. Clothing was a reflection of your station in society. Then you have the Renaissance Era, which overlaps part of the late Middle Ages when, again, there was great change taking place in art and science. Here the clothing took on a more elegant look and style. Though still showing your position in society, there was more flair.

For example, if you were to wear a wench costume or servant girl, the general attitude that goes along with those costumes medieval or renaissance is still, shall we say scandalous. If you are going more the Maid Marian look, then demure and innocent, while Robin Hood would want a fearless and brave man. Deciding to take on the role of Merlin or other wizard then evokes mystery and power and possibly darkness.

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.
