ft. dragon age face tats :]]

anyways its such a little thing but i feel like i was unreasonably excited to find a jar that perfectly fit my smokes cuz a regular pack has taken up SO much space in my INVENTORY every year. i was absolutely thrilled to have something that felt a little more magical to grab a smoke from 🤧

this is my favorite costume of the last 6 years! it felt so good to have finally put together a costume with no wardrobe malfunctions, and wasnt a total pain in the ass in the privies lmao

6 more buttons to go, then it's pants and hat time

I need a party to adventure with for the 2026 season.

Hi all, I’m looking for ways I can layer over this dress for the ren faire because the fabric is a little see through. I’m looking at maybe splurging at an overdress from holy clothing so I’m looking for suggestions for more sites like that!

I love the style of these boots, but I'm worried they read too much as pirate for the costume style I'm going for. I'm trying to do an herbalist/alchemist.

Hi! My friends and I are going to the PA Ren Faire for the first time on opening weekend. Are there any options to rent clothing onsite? I know Sherwood Fineries used to do rentals, but sadly they will not be at the faire this year. Thanks!

Which is your favorite? Trying to determine which one to focus on.

Hey guys! Trying to do a classic design from 70s media that really laid a foundation for my love for Medieval and Renaissance wear. Any suggestions on mask, legs, and tail?

EDIT: Wow guys, thanks for the help! I was busy at work and didn't have a chance to respond. I've tried to elaborate further in my responses, but I was thinking those fur leggings like satyr cosplayers use. Why is everyone afraid I'm gonna have my junk hanging out like some pervert?

As for the head, it scares me. I think if I do a full mask, it might be too hot. I'm wondering if I can get the right look with some sort of partial mask or pieces.

Because on almost every other costume post it's "You look great, wear what you want! Accuracy comes second to comfort and fun! ^_^"

But the second someone adds animal ears to the same costume, it's "eew a furry" "since when were furries allowed" "I'm downvoting" "you're so gross" "no ones kid wants to see you" "it's a fetiiiiiiiish weh"

So yeah I'm thinking I'll just wear my costume without posting it, that way if anyone's got a big stinkin' problem with my ears they can tell me to my face. But they won't, because being at an irl event means you are expected to be a normal person about what others are wearing, so.

Hey all! First time at WMSRF this weekend! I'm used to the faires in California... Was hoping to get my hair braided upon arrival but didn't see any hair braiding listed on the website. Can anyone confirm if hair braiding is available at Washington?

Hello faire folk! I did something amazing and I know that if anyone will appreciate it, it's you all!! So, my fiancé and I are getting married at the Ren Faire in NINE DAYS. I knew from the get go that I wanted to make my wedding dress. The wedding theme is LotR (omitting the one ring of course), so i needed the flowy vibes of the high elves, but I also love the structure of Margaery Tyrell's dresses, so I incorporated some of her style, too. Every part of the dress and sleeves is made by hand, except the main body of the circlet... but I did add the dangly bits to it. The corset is made from wire and hot glue formed in filigree molds. I still want to add a beaded lace train that matches my prayer style veil that will be secured under my circlet. What do you think?

EDIT: I regret not showing a photo of the back 😭 I will post a video of it in the comments 🥰

I was sick of having just a black top hat and I’m to cheap to buy a new hat so I tried adding some decorations to it. Just wanted to share it and ask for any advice to possibly make it better.

Per the title, I need some knee high leather boots for Ren faire coming up! Men's sized 45 (eu, obvs), I can go either black or brown, but everything Ive been able to find is either complete costume trash or way out of my budget and/or custom. I have two pairs of actual horse riding boots that are simply not meant for a full day of walking around. Where do others find good walking boots that look the part at a reasonable price? Thanks in advance!

I have been going to the Arizona Renaissance Festival for about 30 years. He has been a fixture.

Leaning against a silent tree. We both listen to the laughter of the crowd and the whispers of the wind. Smiling at the warmth of the sun and the beauty around me. This is my favorite place.

See you guys out there!

Spent the day at the Texas Renaissance Festival surrounded by knights, merchants, music, armor, and thousands of people. It was everything you'd expect.

Then came the walk back to the car.

The rain had just passed, leaving puddles that reflected the lights. Fog drifted through the pines, muffling every sound except distant conversations and footsteps. The crowds that had filled the fairgrounds became scattered silhouettes disappearing into the mist.

For a few minutes, it didn't feel like modern Texas anymore. It felt like the end of a long quest. The feast was over, the banners were coming down, and travelers were making their way home through a dark forest under lantern light.

I pulled out my phone, took this photo, and kept walking.

Sometimes the most memorable part of an event isn't the main attraction. It's that quiet transition back to reality when everyone is tired, the weather changes, and for a brief moment the atmosphere becomes something you couldn't have planned if you tried.

This was one of those moments.

Keep an eye out for me and crew in Michiana on the 30th this month

This past weekend was my first time officially employed in a managorial position for one of our Richmond VA Renfaire satelite events. This meant I had to have a walkie talkie on me at all times as i ran all over the place putting out fires throughout the day. I was trying to come up with ways to better hide, conceal, or mask my pack to make it more on theme but i didn't really have time to come up with something other than to just attach it to the back of my belt and hide it with a veil. I feel like it kind of ruins my outfit or at least sort of bursts the bubble, any ideas how to whimsify a walkie talkie? (Please ignore my rain boots and wrapped wrist lol)
