Doesn't matter which Renaissance Faires or Fantasy-themed Festivals you go to, all are welcome..even LARP'ing events.:)
I recently finished posting my own photos from the Colorado Renaissance Festival of this year and the Great Lakes Medieval Faire from last year, so come on over and check out others' photos and/or post your own. They don't even have to be recent...if you've got photos from Faire lying around from years ago -post those, too!:D

| Seeking co-moderator |
[15 Feb 2011|12:11pm] |
Hi everyone! It's your friendly completely absent moderator/community owner here!
I am wondering if any of you fine folks might be interested in co-moderating this community for me. I don't want to delete it since it seems to be helpful to many of you but have gone back to school and it is impossible for me to continue to maintain it.
Thank you very much to those of you who have emailed me regarding spammers in the community - I will do my best to keep on top of keeping those posts out of here and off your feeds.
If anyone would be interested in maintaining, moderating or taking over the community entirely please send me a message!
Thank you all and happy garbing!

| Great Lakes, OH Ren. Faire 2010 vendors... |
[29 Jan 2011|11:59pm] |
Can anyone tell me where I might find a list of the garb-vendors at the Great Lakes Ren. Faire this past year?
I'm looking for two in particular...
one is a small booth that sells alot of sheer pieces (tops, skirts, etc.) in which the material kind of looks like netting...they also sold some belly dance accessories. There was a lemonade-booth across the lane from them and they were further towards the back of the site.
-(sorry, I've only been there once so I can't recall exactly where everything was and I don't remember what else it was next to.)
The second is a larger booth and it wasn't too far from the jousting-field...this is a perm. structure. The vendor sold a variety of skirts, chemises, bodices, men's doublets, pants, etc. I think the leather boot vendor was a few buildings down to the left of this clothier vendor.
Anyone know the names of these vendors or how I might get in touch with them? I'd like to purchase some of their product soon, and I know I won't be back to that Faire anytime soon.
I tried looking for them at the official Faire website, but there doesn't appear to be a list of vendors, just a link to an application for vending. -Not helpful, unfortunately.:(
Thanks so much in advance!!
And, if it's ok: some shameless self-promotion...
If anyone has any Faire photos (from any year) that they'd like to share, I have a comm. waiting for you: rennies_nphotos
-Thanks!!:)

| Black Velvet & Gold Brocade Elizabethan Ensemble FOR SALE! |
[13 Sep 2010|11:38am] |
This is a gown made for ROYALTY or for those that want to look like it! I purchased this in only March of this year but was in the process of losing weight; 60lbs later unfortunately for me it doesn't fit so it's time for a new home! Only worn twice it is in GREAT condition! Would be a show stopper at any Renn Faire or SCA event! This is a ONE OF A KIND gown; no others like it out there! Don't miss your chance to own this wonderful ensemble & put to shame all the 'cookie cutter costumes' at your event!
Made from very high quality black cotton velvet and elaborate gold brocade. Heavily embroidered & embellished. The sleeves (which are removable) are wrapped bands of velvet which were embroidered and then pearled within an inch of their life. The black & gold skirts are actually made into one; gold underskirt is a panel built into the black overskirt. It's really well made as it looks like it is tied into the black in such a way it gives the illusion even when the black flips back a little that it is an actual separate gold skirt without adding the bulk & weight of two full skirts. Also has an attached dainty pouch hanging off the back of the bodice made in matching velvet & embroidered in the same designs. Yes, the perfectly matching Elizabethan riding hat is included; it attaches to your head with a comb sewn onto the underside (which I added myself). Will include a hatbox to keep it safe! All of the lacings on the wrists, sleeves & back's ends are finished off with elegant gold aiglets; nothing is left undone on this amazing gown!
Hat, bodice, detachable sleeves, skit & chest 'chain' are included. Chemise, snood, earrings and hoop skirt not included. These are personal items of mine acquired long before I purchased this gown & therefore are not included in the ensemble.
Measurements!
Please remember the bodice is supposed to be TIGHT & worn as you would a corset as it is steel boned so you would not wear another corset beneath it! These measurements are of the actual garment; the bodice can be laced loosely & a modestly panel added to allow for larger sizes.
Bust 41
Waist on bodice 35
The waistband on the skirt is 39 inches with the slide on the gold set at about 38 with the black overskirt laced on top. Sounds complicated but works really well for adjusting to size.
Hips are freesized.
Made for someone about 5'6/5'7; I am 5'5 and had to hitch the skirt up pretty high under the bodice to get it to a good length for me but I made it work comfortably. If the skirt is a little too long you can have it shortened at the waist; you cannot have it hemmed at the bottom or else it would ruin the embroidery.
( Bigger pic & other views behind the cut! )
I am asking only $1000 for this entire ensemble; I paid $1250 for it in February & even made improvements so you are getting a great deal! Shipping is $25 to anywhere in the US; international please contact me for a quote. PM me with any questions!
Please feel free to cross-post! Thanks!!

| Middle Class Elizabethan Gown For Sale on Etsy |
[25 Aug 2009|09:40pm] |
 I am selling one of my first costumes, a middle-class Elizabethan gown, done up in gold/brown brocade, with crocheted trim accents.
I've worn this gown, cleaned it, and have done a lot of work on it to refurbish it. The interior tapes, center front point, and pleating of the skirt are all new.
The under-petticoat shown is NOT for sale, but is merely there for display purposes. The package includes the bodice and the skirt.
If you are interested in this gown, go take a look at the Etsy listing for more information!

| 1490s Italian Renaissance Gown - For Sale |
[17 Jun 2009|08:16pm] |
Hi Folks! There comes a time in every costumer's life when they realize they have too many costumes, many of which they haven't worn for a long time, and that it's time to get rid of some. This Italian gown didn't make it into the "stay" pile, so I've listed it on Etsy for $80.00 USD. Link to Etsy:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26634716
Here's the description:
This gown is a beautiful costume made of gold patterned jacquard and cream-colored silky fabric. It is perfect for historical reenactment, costume parties, renaissance and medieval faires, or other special occassion.
Measurements:
Bust 34"
Waist 28"
Hip 36" +
The gown closes at the back with hooks and eyes at the waist, and lacings through grommets at top and bottom. The bodice is off-the-shoulder, and the straps have been added for ease of wear (not shown in above picture). The organza sleeves are set in, with the tube oversleeves tied at shoulder and elbow. The costume does not require period underpinnings.
This gown is washable! It has been worn once, cleaned, and refurbished.
This costume was made by a beginning seamstress, so while the exterior is exquisite, there is no interior finishing. The price has been adjusted to reflect this.
