The noble class wore attire that consisted of expensive brocades, velvet, satin, and corduroy. A lady of wealth would wear Spanish surcoats, consisting of the coat, the underskirt, the bodice and chemise.
Also popular was the Italian style dress that had an empire waist and a headpiece with a veil. It was more comfortable than the dress with a bodice. In England they would have worn the bodice and hoop skirt.

I love medieval dresses, I’ev always wanted to have one or several. It would be great to wear one or have medieval themed photoshoots for myself. It’s simply adorable.
Those are really nice Renaissance costumes. I have been wanting to hold this masquerade ball since forever. It just becomes impossible because my guests find difficulty in purchasing gowns and such costumes. Can you please suggest the place where these costumes can be purchased from. I would love to have a masquerade party for Halloween.

This is a great era to dress up as,. I love the regal outfits and all that purple and gold. The Italian Doublet costumes look really smart and in my opinion a cut above the rest.

The Renaissance days are my favorite for dresses. They cover the body well, yet are very classy and chic. The Avon is my choice and I am considering it for this year’s Halloween party.

when its Halloween time, I love to experiment my dressing style with Renaissance costumes and man! they look so handsome on any! I wish we could abandon all these modern dresses and get back to every glory Renaissance medieval costumes. But yea it would be very hot and hard to wash and maintain them i guess. Also given the global warming, let them remain as ever special dress worn just about when its time for halloween and Renaissance-themed parties.
Wow, these are great costumes, they are very unique and eye catching, we are looking at dressing up as musketeers this New Years and they have given me some great ideas.
Those are some pretty good quality looking costumes, where did you purchase these from?
What do you think? Great looking costumes. I also found some great renaissance and medieval costumes at thestageplace.com
Excellent ideas, trying to get my costume sorted early for once rather than waiting last minute, I adore the first purple one gorgeous style and colour
