Renaissance Costumes

It may help to rent movies set in that time period to get a feeling for the appropriate apparel. Click here for a list of Renaissance period films.

Note: the names given to these outfits came from our imaginations and are not necessarily the costume name. So, if you do go looking for a particular outfit, bring the photo and forget the name!
