Renaissance Fair time has ended

What many do not know is the Renaissance period covered some 300 years from the end of the 1300s to the beginning of the 1700s. A long time, and it covered many eras of different fashions in many different countries. The great Italian period of the 14th and 15th centuries were over by the great French and English periods of the 16th to 17th centuries. Many would disagree of course, but this is about clothing and not greatness of the nations.

There are some websites from which you can purchase reproduction medieval and Renaissance costumes, and if you get the right ones then you will have a marvelous range from which to choose. You have a choice of shoes and boots of the period, shirts, doublets, jackets and uniforms.
