What to Wear to Medieval Fair for Women

Red Long Sleeves Medieval Dress

It is fun to bring the past to life through dressing in the medieval style. For women there are several different styles of clothing to choose from to represent different professions and income levels during the medieval period. Choose a costume that fits your style and budget to share in the fun. And in the following part, I will talk about the clothing idea to be a common woman and a princess in the medieval period.
The commoner woman costume is similar to the men's costume but with a few changes. The women wear long skirts that trail the ground. Tuck a billowing blouse into the skirt. Wrap a corset-style belt under your bust line or around the waist to create a cinching effect. Use either a low-cut shirt or a shirt with a higher neckline for a more modest fit. Wear your hair long and flowing, and wear sturdy, short boots. Add a wreath of flowers or a pretty ribbon to your hair.
Putting on a costume of a princess or other wealthy woman is so much fun to dress up for a medieval fair. Princesses were able to wear much wealthier fabrics and clothes which are not common. Wear an under-dress of a flowing fabric that fits loosely, and put on a colored over-dress with an empire waist. The over-dress should be made of embroidered fabrics featuring gold or silver thread. Use velvet as fabric is a good way. And the choice of color such as green and red are perfect to a women in higher status.
Did this inspire you to some points? I hope it will be helpful for you to choose the clothes for a medieval fair.
