fair, a princess bride, the village idiot, or even the King, you are sure to find something here.
The Upper Class:
The popular image that we have of Renaissance costume particularly that of England is what was worn by the upper
classes. Style was paramount, and both men and women in the Renaissance wore clothing we would consider
costumes, similar to the 'costumes' we wear in formal occasions today. To the modern eye, Renaissance costume
appears to be highly constrictive and extremely uncomfortable. This is true, but only because we tend to associate
the formal clothing of the nobility with the period. This is natural, as most of the examples we have of Renaissance
clothing are from paintings and written descriptions. Historians and artists generally do not record the activities of the
poor.
The Middle Class:
The middle class as a social entity began to rise to prominence during the renaissance period. Copying their betters,
the middle class attempted to emulate the style and line of the upper classes, but with humbler fabrics. It would not
be unusual to see a merchant's wife in a high-necked bodice and farthingale with over and underskirts; made from
simple linen or fine wool, these garments were beautiful and sensible. Her lace may not be as fine or sumptuous as a
noble lady's, but she wears it nonetheless. The merchant would be wearing a handsome ensemble with lots of black
and the fanciest fabric that he could afford.
The Lower Class:
Clothing in the Renaissance for everyday became less like 'costumes', both in formal and daily wear as you went
lower in the class system. Where a lady of the aristocracy might expect to wear a corset as a near requirement,
except when in her chambers, a merchant's wife might wear a bodice that was heavily boned, but no underlying
corset, giving her more freedom of movement. Going lower still, a peasant woman would have a single color, plain
boned bodice.
Pearson’s Renaissance Shoppe carries Renaissance clothes for all levels of society and walks of life, from the basic
wench skirts, bodices, and pirate gear, to beautiful medieval wedding gowns, dresses and doublets made to attire a
King or Queen. Renaissance clothing for men, women, and children.
