Costuming

A wide range of options can fill your historical closet! From Romeo and Juliet in the Italian Renaissance, to Beowulf in Anglo-Saxon England, to early Musketeers in France, and everywhere in between. While our focus tends towards the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Western Europe, many individuals branch out into other cultures who had contact with medieval Europe. Sewing circles and workshops pop up on a regular basis, “garb” can be borrowed from the Baronial closet, and many talented artists sell garb.
