One of the best parts of attending a Renaissance faire is getting to dress up in costume — but storebought costumes are often low-quality, and the corsets you'll see at the faire might be out of your budget. Luckily, it's easier than ever to make your own costume by hand, thanks to this one-stop guide to crafting your own authentic Renaissance outfits and accessories.
Mara and Alassie, creators of CostureroReal, have written an essential guide for any cosplayer, Renaissance enthusiast, or history buff. This collection of patterns includes everything a reader could need to have a memorable time at the faire such as the Hooded Wool Capelet and the Elven Leather Pouch. And, more advanced cosplayers will love making impressive and show-stopping fantasy pieces, such as the Posable Fairy Wings, or the Velvet Royal Dress.
Whether you're a wandering squire or the Fairy Queen herself, there's sure to be a costume for you in this must-have Renaissance Faire collection.
