The Nobility
The popular image we have of Renaissance costumes, particularly that of England, is what was worn by the upper classes. Style was paramount, and both men and women in the Renaissance wore clothing we would consider “costumes,” similar to the costumes we wear in formal occasions today. To the modern eye, Renaissance and Medieval costumes appear to be highly constrictive and extremely uncomfortable. This is true, but only because we tend to associate the formal clothing of the nobility with the period. This is natural, as most of the examples we have of Renaissance and Medieval clothing are from paintings and written descriptions. Historians and artists generally do not record the activities of the poor.

The Poor
Clothing in the Renaissance for everyday became less like “costumes,” both in formal and daily wear as you went lower in the class system. Where a lady of the aristocracy might expect to wear a corset as a near requirement, except when in her chambers, a merchant's wife might wear a bodice that was heavily boned, but no underlying corset, giving her more freedom of movement. Going lower still, a peasant woman would have a single color, plain boned bodice.
We have medieval and renaissance dresses, gowns, shirts and hats costumes that come in a variety of styles, shapes, sizes and colors. To keep you warm during that cold medieval faire we have medieval cloaks, capes and robes.
Finally we have period footwear like leather and suede boots and dress shoes to keep your feet warm and to add the final touches to your Renaissance or Medieval costume. We have styles for any occasion, whether you want to be an authentic peasant at the faire, a princess bride, the village idiot, or even the King, you are sure to find something here.
The Castle Closet carries Renaissance and Medieval costumes for all, from the basic wench skirts, bodices, to beautiful medieval wedding gowns, dresses and doublets made for a King or Queen. We offer Renaissance costumes for men, women, and children. Browse our shoppe, you are sure to find something you like.
