Renaissance Costume

Last year I went to a renaissance festival with my family for a day, and we dressed up for it. I wore a dress that looked sort of like a Cinderella dress and my sister wore a cape she had made. At the festival there were lots of shops that sold fabulous dresses and outfits and there were people like us who wore fabulous outfits. I got so many sewing project ideas there I had trouble keeping them all in my head, but I managed to remember some of them.

My favorite dress that I saw there was a fitted dress with a thin cord around the waistline and a full skirt below it. I drew it up as best I could but it is nothing like the real dress.

The hair of this girl is in two parts as you can see, and has a ribbon wrapped around each part. This is not a braid, but long rolls of hair that are held together by the ribbons. I found this very interesting.

If you have a dress or outfit that caught your eye, you can post as a comment and I would love to see it.

Fairy Fashion

Something that has grabbed my interest is Fairy Fashion and Fairies. I design Fairy like dresses and outfits and then draw fairies wearing them. Here are some of my favorites:


A fancy ball gown for Royalty



Desert Fairy Tunic



Commoner's ball gown



Fancy party dress



Fairy ballet leotard
