Historical Spotlights

In our experience, some of the best-looking costumes get overlooked just because they were inspired by a historical era that doesnt lend itself to outfits with a lot of bells and whistles. But this Adult Green Renaissance Lady Costume is the rare exception, because it goes hand-in-hand with one of the best-known tunes in English folk music! So just for fun, we thought wed toss in a few bars of our own interpretation:

Alas, good lady, youre headed wrong

If you think you can purchase thee

A finer set of Renaissance duds

Than this gown in the color green.

Green, green is on the sleeves,

Its on the bodice, oer the knees,

Its in the grass, its in the trees,

Now you can look green like these!

Cant you just hear the trill of recorders and the idle strumming of lutes? Well, we canbut we have a tendency to get a little too immersed in these kinds of things. If thats even possible!

Product Details

Either way, we think this is the perfect outfit for a costume party or Ren Faire, especially if you want to get in the olde-fashioned spirit without fussing about authenticity. This elegant combo includes a flowing dress in rich green velour with gilded accents befitting a noblewoman, and a flowery headband to match. With a little music from the period and a quaint pair of dancing shoes, itll be a real challenge not to cut a caper or two!
