Medieval Costumes - From Jester to Ladies and Beyond

Ah, the Renaissance. Romeo and Juliet, lords and ladies and of course, the Lord High Executioner. If you are sick of the same packaged and typical costumes, it is time to go to a whole new level with medieval costumes, perfect for everybody from every shape and every size. And, don't forget that medieval costumes offer something perfect for everyone whether they are male or female!

Ladies First

Of course, whenever you start thinking about medieval costumes, the first that come to mind are those for the ladies: Courtesans, Baronesses and even the Queen. Ornate, opulent and definitely not your everyday Halloween costume, you can find the right choice for you if you don't get overwhelmed along the way. There are so many colors and choices that you might never be able to narrow it down. Think of it this way: if you want to really vamp it up and show off a little more sexy skin, go for the Courtesan or the bar wench costumes. If you want to really glam it up and be more elegant, stick to the others. The great thing about these costumes: they are very flattering to any body shape as long as they fit well and they are so gorgeous.

The price of most of the medieval costumes may make them a little more of an investment, however, they will never go out of style and they will last forever if they are stored correctly.

And For the Fellows

Men can be the King (no, not Elvis!) or they can be a knight in shining armor, but there is more. They could be the fun loving and hopefully funny, court jester. Another option, perfect for the more robust fellow, is the executioner. A simple costume, it is a tunic with a black and ominous hood which should scare just about everybody as much as any of the scary and every day costumes!
