It's about time for Renaissance Faires to really start gearing up, so I've been on the lookout for amazing Ren Faire costumes. I love going to the Faire, and I'm sure many of you do as well! If you need a little inspiration for your next look, there's a world of truly exquisite Ren Faire costumes out there. Whether you want to be a wench, a pirate, a faerie, a knight, or a wizard, check out these incredible looks! ## 1. Tapestry Vests ![clothing,dress,gown,formal wear,outerwear,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/nv/ah/pitat_clothing_dress_gown_formal-wear_outerwear_570x855.jpg) Via [Renaissance Faire Maiden Wench Bodice ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Not all Ren Faire costumes have to be totally epic. You can choose a simple tapestry vest over a skirt, especially if your festival is in a really hot or humid location. ## 2. Gypsy Flair ![dress,clothing,green,gown,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wo/eg/srin6_dress_clothing_green_gown_costume_437x721.jpg) Via [Gypsy](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/438538082436473542/) At any Faire, you'll see lots of gypsy costumes – and you'll see lots of them here as well. The great part is that they're easy to make yourself. ## 3. Buccaneer Beauty ![clothing,fashion,costume,model,photo shoot,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/t0/i0/gcyox_clothing_fashion_costume_model_photo-shoot_451x841.jpg) Via [Unavailable Listing on Etsy](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Not quite a pirate, not quite a buccaneer either, but this is a great costume. It's lighter, comfortable, cool, and definitely cute! ## 4. The Pirate Mainstay _ Via flickr.com_ Faires are filled with pirates too, both male and female. If you need an idea for your boyfriend, spouse, or guy friend, make him channel Captain Jack Sparrow! ## 5. Half Wench, Half Faerie ![clothing,dress,art,toy,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/dj/um/gkfio_clothing_dress_art_toy_costume_570x1433.jpg) Via [Renaissance FAIRY Gown Dress costum ...](https://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) A costume like this is really versatile, and it also promises to feel comfortable in the heat. I love the colors! ## 6. Katniss Cool ![clothing,people,dress,child,middle ages,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/xi/a8/k2afh_clothing_people_dress_child_middle-ages_600x900.jpg) Via [The Archeress](https://www.pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe.com/archeress-corset-set.html) Ready to channel your inner archer? This is what Katniss would look like back in medieval days, don't you think? ## 7. Patchwork Pretty ![person,woman,clothing,costume,costume design,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/su/h6/ljce1_person_woman_clothing_costume_costume-design_400x600.jpg) Via [Full Length Patchwork Skirt in ...](http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/damselinthisdress/4301974/Full_Length_Patchwork_Skirt_in_Reds_Browns_and_Golds/Clothing/Skirts/Long) This is just gorgeous, and it looks so fun! Again, if you're skilled with a needle and thread, you could easily make your own patchwork skirt. ## 8. Renaissance Witch Dress ![clothing,dress,gown,fashion,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/bi/o3/yfmna_clothing_dress_gown_fashion_costume_438x777.jpg) Via [Renaissance Corset Dress purple Witch ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Though this is called a witch dress, I don't see anything particularly witchy about it. I do, however, think the color is gorgeous, and wonderfully royal – which is just what you need at a Ren Faire! ## 9. Medieval Dream ![dress,clothing,gown,fashion,bridal clothing,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/dn/ms/lm5fq_dress_clothing_gown_fashion_bridal-clothing_482x677.jpg) Via [Costume Hire - Complete Costumes](https://complete-costumes.co.uk/costume-hire/costume_details.php/item/1805/Ladies_Medieval_Renaissance_Costume_And_Headdress.html) Looking to hit up the Faire as a true lady of the court? You definitely need to think about costumes with velvet, elegant prints, and rich colors. ## 10. Hips Don't Lie ![dress,clothing,gown,formal wear,cocktail dress,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/kh/nn/y8qvu_dress_clothing_gown_formal-wear_cocktail-dress_570x858.jpg) Via [Unavailable Listing on Etsy](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Here's another gypsy costume, completely made by the sash around the waist. You know you'd be working your hips, just to hear the jingle! ## 11. Robin Hood Costume ![person,clothing,soldier,costume,action figure,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/h8/gc/jv16l_person_clothing_soldier_costume_action-figure_600x1321.jpg) Via [Sherwoods Robin Hood Adult Costume ...](https://www.mrcostumes.com/Sherwoods-Robin-Hood-Adult-Costume-11876.htm) Here's another one for the lads. Robin Hood inspired looks are always popular, but there's no reason you can't dress up as the Princess of Thieves yourself. ## 12. Lady in Waiting ![dress,clothing,gown,wedding dress,bridal clothing,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fe/r4/m5r3d_dress_clothing_gown_wedding-dress_bridal-clothing_506x800.jpg) Via [cgi.ebay.com](http://cgi.ebay.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) The colors, the material, the silhouette … don't you love this dress? Even the suggested jewelry is fabulous! ## 13. Peacock Fairy Renaissance Costume ![fairy,dress,autumn,mythology,flower,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/zq/zu/ne8xr_fairy_dress_autumn_mythology_flower_570x852.jpg) Via [Peacock Fairy Queen](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) From the wings to the color scheme, this costume nails the fantastical element found at Ren Faires. Wings are always a big hit anyway, and the lightweight quality is perfect for late summer and early fall. ## 14. Renaissance Pirate Maiden Wench Gown ![clothing,dress,pink,gown,outerwear,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/h3/sk/trzo2_clothing_dress_pink_gown_outerwear_570x858.jpg) Via [Renaissance Pirate Maiden Wench Gown ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Well, even pirate ships need their wenches, you know. Besides, that dagger lets all the salty sea dogs know not to mess with you. ## 15. Common Couture ![dress,clothing,wedding dress,bridal party dress,gown,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/zz/of/m91xq_dress_clothing_wedding-dress_bridal-party-dress_gown_570x1163.jpg) Via [Renaissance Overskirt, For Re-Enactment, Larp, ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) There's no saying you have to go all-out, even when you're dressing up. Go with something light, casual, and without all the frills. You'll look like a villager while still impressing your fellow festival goers. ## 16. The Perfect Pirate Frock ![dress,clothing,gown,bridal clothing,fashion,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/yc/jx/xzhqh_dress_clothing_gown_bridal-clothing_fashion_600x800.jpg) Via [Gray Black Skulls Pirate Wedding ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) If you want to be the baddest pirate on deck, something like this is both gorgeous and edgy – from a medieval perspective, of course. ## 17. Autumn Glory Faerie ![flower,flower arranging,yellow,plant,floristry,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ab/j8/sg7wj_flower_flower-arranging_yellow_plant_floristry_527x800.jpg) Via [Items similar to Autumn Glory ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This is such a beautiful costume! It's ideal for fall Faires, but the design is lightweight enough for hot weather as well. ## 18. Peasant Chic ![clothing,person,dress,gown,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/mm/mv/fdhq3_clothing_person_dress_gown_costume_570x760.jpg) Via [Complete Renaissance Costume, Corset, Chemise, ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Casual peasant garb is both beautiful and comfortable. Something like this is easy to put together, but very effective. ## 19. Flamenco Fab ![clothing,person,dress,costume,costume design,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/a4/s9/vce4r_clothing_person_dress_costume_costume-design_489x768.jpg) Via [Gypsy Renaissance Pirate Gown Dress ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Although this is perfect for a wench, a gypsy, a pirate, or various other characters, I think there's some serious Flamenco flair in the skirt. ## 20. Renaissance Fairy Costume ![dance,sports,flower,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ff/gu/qw48o_dance_sports_flower_400x680.jpg) Via [fire fairy renaissance costume](https://www.flickr.com/photos/43994293@N05/5180353049/) Fairies, faeries, nymphs, pixies – call them what you will, this works for all. ## 21. Swashbuckling Style ![clothing,lady,fashion,spring,hat,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/dp/s6/hm82i_clothing_lady_fashion_spring_hat_600x839.jpg) Via [Community Post: 22 Things Renaissance ...](https://www.buzzfeed.com/seancurry1/things-renaissance-faires-do-better-than-the-real-world?sub=2026619_887808) Pirates really are popular, but it's not hard to see why. ## 22. Renaissance Royalty ![clothing,people,dress,fashion,middle ages,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/w4/e4/hw7f7_clothing_people_dress_fashion_middle-ages_400x598.jpg) Via [Texas Renaissance Festival Costumes](https://www.flickr.com/photos/awelch/2980852022/) You might not have the prestige of being a member of the royal court, but you can still dress like it. Why not bring your beloved and dress as a royal couple? ## 23. Court Couture ![clothing,person,woman,people,lady,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ga/in/b8cn4_clothing_person_woman_people_lady_402x604.jpg) Via [SCA](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/575475658605041884/) Of course, if you can snag a part in the court, you need to dress the part. Royal looks are marvelously fancy! ## 24. Celestial Garb ![clothing,dress,gown,bridal clothing,outerwear,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/by/ad/prt18_clothing_dress_gown_bridal-clothing_outerwear_570x943.jpg) Via [Items similar to Renaissance Faire ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Anything that showcases the moon and stars will look fantastic and fit right in. A traditional frock, with corset and chemise, is the perfect vehicle for the motif. ## 25. Couple Costume ![clothing,person,people,lady,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/gd/zg/uffrp_clothing_person_people_lady_costume_427x640.jpg) Via [IMG_1123](https://www.flickr.com/photos/firstpersonshooter/7994188096/in/photostream) This ain't your momma's Maid Marian! But seriously, couple costumes are fun, and a few inhabitants of Sherwood Forest are always welcome. ## 26. Renaissance Fairy Costume ![clothing,dress,wedding dress,gown,bridal clothing,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/be/l3/snbqu_clothing_dress_wedding-dress_gown_bridal-clothing_400x699.jpg) Via [Fairy Corset Costume Custom Made ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This is a fab fall look as well, but does indeed work as a fairie costume as well. ## 27. Red, Red Wine ![clothing,dress,sleeve,gown,outerwear,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/p3/dv/hgnxz_clothing_dress_sleeve_gown_outerwear_570x621.jpg) Via [Medieval Dress - Gorgeous Renaissance ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Dramatic colors always look wonderful at the Renaissance Faire. Choose something like this lovely shade of wine red and you're sure to be a standout. ## 28. Fancy Free _ Via Moresca Clothing & Costume_ The work on some of these costumes is just amazing. What would your character be if you wore this? ## 29. Court Gown ![dress,clothing,wedding dress,gown,woman,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/b9/qk/v7qzy_dress_clothing_wedding-dress_gown_woman_570x1023.jpg) Via [Italian Renaissance Faire Medieval SCA ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Again, you don't actively need to be in the court to dress like it. Of course, in something like this, you might get asked to serve during the next season. ## 30. Ravishing Rag Skirt ![clothing,red,dress,hairstyle,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/fg/af/ebvto_clothing_red_dress_hairstyle_costume_570x855.jpg) Via [Dream Bohemian Gypsy Fairy Festival ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) If you don't want to get fully dressed up, pick a single, interesting piece – like a rag skirt, which lends itself well to gypsies, faeries, nymphs, and pixies. ## 31. Riding Outfits ![clothing,dress,woman,lady,gown,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/m6/ej/daxca_clothing_dress_woman_lady_gown_570x760.jpg) Via [CUSTOM Tudor Court Renaissance High ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Equestrian-esque options work wonderfully well at the Faire as well. If you choose a more authentic route, then an ensemble like this will wow the crowd. ## 32. Mermaid Inspired ![lady,beauty,performing arts,fashion,dress,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ks/hy/m0k14_lady_beauty_performing-arts_fashion_dress_400x711.jpg) Via [Lovely Moon at the 2012 ...](https://www.flickr.com/photos/eoscatchlight/6848927434/) This is just gorgeous, and it's ideal for the inner mermaids out there. Bonus points if you incorporate your hair color into your look! ## 33. She Wore Red Velvet ![clothing,red,dress,gown,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/vy/lt/x3qpj_clothing_red_dress_gown_costume_400x600.jpg) Via [Brunette in renaissance costume](https://www.flickr.com/photos/mcabanis/4408080198/) Truthfully, any kind of velvet works, but be mindful of how hot you feel. If you'll be walking around in the middle of the day, you don't want a costume that feels too heavy. ## 34. Austere Beauty ![clothing,dress,gown,outerwear,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/zg/i3/nzaz1_clothing_dress_gown_outerwear_costume_400x582.jpg) Via [Unavailable Listing on Etsy](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) A little European villager in terms of design, this is austere but not too severe. It's simple, but it gets the point across beautifully. ## 35. Pirate Gown ![clothing,costume design,dress,fashion,gown,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/jk/tz/p4ovs_clothing_costume-design_dress_fashion_gown_594x1023.jpg) Via [Wicked Renaissance Pirate Gown Dress ...](http://www.etsy.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) I love everything about this, from the patchwork look created by the competing patterns, textures, and materials to the jaunty look of it. Those gloves! ## 36. Puppet Master _ Via Giant Puppeteer_ This would take quite a lot of work, but wouldn't it be worth it? ## 37. Autumn Fairy ![flower,carnival,autumn,fairy,mythology,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ut/ey/cf8iq_flower_carnival_autumn_fairy_mythology_400x598.jpg) Via [BRF 2012 Weekend 9 Sunday](https://www.flickr.com/photos/thetasigma/7951651820/) Love it!

Dragon Warrior ![person,clothing,people,costume,middle ages,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/r0/m7/pii9o_person_clothing_people_costume_middle-ages_427x640.jpg) Via [Dragon Warrior Juggernaut 2011 Arizona ...](http://www.flickr.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) These are just great costumes. This is the kind of creativity and attention to detail I love seeing at the Ren Faire! ## 39. The Real Captain ![person,people,lady,fashion,costume,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/p1/fo/u7onv_person_people_lady_fashion_costume_560x840.jpg) Via [ChromaMeSilly](https://chromamesilly.wordpress.com/) There's nothing better than a bad-ass pirate. However, you HAVE to pull off that swagger too! ## 40. The Other Real Captain ![clothing,costume,lady,fashion,cosplay,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/eq/h0/fukj2_clothing_costume_lady_fashion_cosplay_427x640.jpg) Via [Texas Ren Fest 2008_Lady Pirate](https://www.flickr.com/photos/kma_images/3059158302/in/set-72157610086267794/) So, I just couldn't resist this one either. Love the hat! ## 41. Knight in Shining Armor ![armour,clothing,costume,outerwear,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/b5/it/n0bo1_armour_clothing_costume_outerwear_500x667.jpg) Via [Renaissance Faire Costume (by animakitty) ...](https://drobeofwar.tumblr.com/post/35131832587/renaissance-faire-costume-by-animakitty) You see a lot of male knights at the Ren Faire, but nuh-uh. Sisters-in-Renaissance, please, take up the sword. The Ren Faire brings out so many created, talented people. What's the coolest costume you've ever seen? ## Related Posts - [frida kahlo custome](https://parenting.allwomenstalk.com/epic-halloween-costumes-for-your-kids/) - [fun diy halloween crafts](https://diy.allwomenstalk.com/easy-halloween-crafts-for-people-of-all-ages/) - [traditional dress of brazil](https://fashion.allwomenstalk.com/traditional-costumes-from-around-the-world/) - [inflatable jelly bean costume](https://diy.allwomenstalk.com/totally-simple-diy-halloween-costumes-for-kids/) - [best pumpkin patches in the u.s.](https://travel.allwomenstalk.com/epic-pumpkin-patches-in-the-united-states/) - [queen nefertiti outfit](https://fashion.allwomenstalk.com/awesome-costumes-for-you-next-costume-party/) - [halloween coffee art](https://food.allwomenstalk.com/this-baristas-spooky-latte-art-is-perfect-for-the-halloween-season/) - [bookworm halloween costume](https://lifestyle.allwomenstalk.com/ideas-for-literary-halloween-costumes/) - [decorate your pumpkin](https://diy.allwomenstalk.com/awesome-no-carve-ways-to-decorate-your-pumpkin-for-halloween/) - [halloween lip](https://beauty.allwomenstalk.com/fantastically-creepy-halloween-lip-art-to-recreate-this-year/) - [5 Cool Twilight Costumes ...](https://twilight.allwomenstalk.com/5-cool-twilight-costumes/) - [33 Photos of the Met Costume Institute Gala ...](https://celebs.allwomenstalk.com/met-costume-gala/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://fashion.allwomenstalk.com/incredible-ren-faire-costumes/)
