How to thrift an outfit for the Renaissance Faire ✨🧚‍♂️⚔️ 

Oh I am sooooo thankful that you made this video and uploaded it when you did! My husband and I are doing a major closet/ household declutter and I had put this very Victorian nightgown in our donation bag. I’ve had it for a long time, and never wear it to bed because it’s polyester and I don’t like sleeping in polyester. But it has ALL the ruffles, ruffles at the collar and ruffles at the sleeves. After watching this video, I ran and snatched it from the bag, literally as my husband was hauling donation bags out to the car, because after seeing this I realized it would be a PERFECT Ren Faire outfit if I layered a corset over it. It would be perfect for a steampunk or pirate outfit, and I can’t believe that I didn’t think if it before!

I also suggest developing simple sewing skills. It's amazing what alterations can be done with a bit of hand sewing.

our good will has a craft section! some times it has yarn and ribbons! so always look in that area

I’ve found looking in the Halloween section of thrift stores (when its that season…like now), is a fabulous place to find great Ren Faire type clothing. I just found two corsets! One is from Spirit Halloween, and is a pirate one, the other is a really nice mesh one from a higher end store! Paid $20 for both!

This was really helpful especially since my sister was suggesting going to a Ren Faire for her birthday. She did say she wanted to thrift items. Thanks!

i really loved all the photos you added when you were describing the pieces, it was so helpful and fun to see all the examples!

This video is very helpful! The one issue i have is the word you used to describe the blouse at 20:27 , thats a slur used against Romani people and there are definitely other ways to describe it

This is amazing, I'm planning to go to my first one and some items in my closet fit match some of these descriptions. I was brainstorming things I could layer together to narrow down what I might need as a finishing touch. Checking out the other video referenced!

I never thought of using jogger type pants, but that is brilliant. Lots of great ideas!

Love all your thrift finds!🖤

Love your ideas❤

I'm about to go to my first Ren fair and I will be going thrifting with a friend tomorrow, And while I do love the style and have seen many outfits put together, I wasn't sure where to start when putting an outfit together for me so thank you so much for making this great video! It was organised, Realistic and really helpful for a beginner! ✨

Great video! I’d love to see a “lookbook” of ideas for costuming when it’s 90+ degrees out 😅 Also, big shoutout to The Lady In Red , who was standing behind you, watching you film your haul, and looking like, “what the h*ll is she doing?” I’m a fan. 😂

So many great ideas. Thank you for this. I loved all the pictures. I loved that you actually took us to the bins and showed so many examples of so many things. Just such a great video.

I've never been to a Renaissance Faire, but I know I would love it! I just need to find someone who would like it too😅anyways, great ideas, as usual!

Where do I meet fun people like you? (There are no events like the renaissance faire here)

This is very helpful!

she say shah like roxxxy andrews

Thrifting yes, definitely Thrifting …😶… totally not at all going through my hoard of stuff I won’t get rid of cause I might wear it someday clothes 😅 I mean technically 95% of it Was thrifted sooo 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

These are all really fun. I just wanted to pop in and please request everyone to discontinue the use of the word "g*psy". It's a slur for a Roma, a person of Romani descent. 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for all these cool ideas and nice finds!
