If you understood the title of this post then you’ve probably been to a Renaissance Pleasure Faire.   The best place to dress up in your tightest corset, eat a turkey leg and speak a little Elizabethean.  I got to thinking about the Ren Faire after seeing some of the new styles released on Hips and Curves.com this week.  Some of these styles are perfect for a Renaissance Faire and can actually be worn after – unlike some of the crazy metal corset contraptions you may have seen at some of these events!

Try a pair of bloomers – just in case the hot summer breeze (or someone who’s had one too many beers) finds its way up your skirt!

This cotton lace chemise is perfect for the warm weather.  Pair it with a steel boned underbust corset for some serious shaping.

If you want to go totally casual, try this cotton lace camisole with a pair of jeans.

Remember, fashion from the Elizabethan period reflects the social status of the wearer, so if you want to be seen as nobility you’ll need to go all out!  Try a steel boned corset, top hat, bloomers and a riding crop!
