If you’re looking for a Renaissance Halloween costume this year, then you’ll likely be surprised at how many different styles, materials, colors, pieces and prices they come in. First, you’ll need to decide if you’ll go as a lowly wench peasant, a high-seas-adventurer pirate, Tudor royalty or a court princess. You can choose everything from budget-conscious cotton or rayon fabric to lavish satin and silk. If you choose wisely, then you’re sure to win the best costume contest.

If you’re looking for more than a cheaply made Halloween costume and want something that looks professional, from a theater performance, a movie or a Renaissance festival, then you can buy custom, high-quality, historically accurate Renaissance costumes at www.verymerryseamstress.com. If you’re looking to pay less than $155 for your adult costume, then you’ll want to order cotton fabric, rather than twill or satin. The “Reversible Peasant Package” is very popular because it embodies the traditional “Renaissance” apparel with a strapped front-laced bodice in any two colors, a cotton skirt and matching wrist bracer, with or without the short chemise.

You can add any number of accessories from skirts, sashes or headpieces. Made of cotton and sans chemise, the package is just $99 but it ranges to $195 for twill material, with a short chemise included. The next category up from the Peasant Packages are the Merchant Packages from $155 - $250, which are simple and middle class Renaissance, yet stylish nonetheless, with chemise, skirt, brocade purse and sash. If you would like to dress as an aristocrat, then you can find “court” apparel ranging in price from $251 - $300, or nobility for $351 and higher. For instance, you can dress as Jane Grey or Mary Tudor for $1300 - $1400 with a costume made of silk, lace, pearl, faux fur and jacquard.
