Fitting and Sizing Tips for Renaissance Costumes
Overview
Ensure your Renaissance costume fits perfectly for your next event with these essential fitting and sizing tips. Whether you're attending a Renaissance fair, themed party, or historical reenactment, a well-fitted costume enhances the experience.
Tips for Online Purchases
When buying Renaissance costumes online, proper fitting is crucial. Always order well ahead of your event to allow time for exchanges or alterations. Pay close attention to the sizing guide provided by the retailer, as sizes can vary between brands. Some costumes are designed to fit loosely, while others may be snug. Look for descriptions like "tight fit" or "generous fit" and consider your body type, height, and proportions. For accurate sizing, enlist a friend or family member to help with measurements.
How to Take Accurate Measurements
Use a tape measure and take all measurements in inches:
- Bust: Measure under your arms around the fullest part of your chest with arms at your sides.
- Waist: Wrap the tape around your natural waistline, keeping it slightly loose.
- Hips: Measure the fullest part of your hips.
- Skirt Length: Measure from the back of your waist to the floor.
- Trousers: For the inseam, measure from the crotch to the desired length with shoes on. For the outseam, measure from the natural waistline to the desired length, also with shoes on.
- Neck: Measure around the base of your neck.
Women's Renaissance Costumes
For women, focus on the bust, waist, hips, height, and skirt length. Sizes generally range from small to 3X. For leather bodices, prioritize the waist measurement. Girl sizes usually align with small, medium, and large store sizes.
Men's Renaissance Costumes
Key measurements for men include the waist, chest, hips, neck, and height. Sizes typically range from small to 3X, while boys' sizes are similar to standard small, medium, and large store sizes.
Hat Measurements and Accessories
For Minnetonka hats, measure around your head just above the ears where the hat will sit. Women should account for wigs, allowing extra room. Hat sizes generally range from small to extra large.
When ordering online, check for a detailed sizing chart and seek customer assistance if needed. Purchase all your costume items and accessories together to save on shipping, including items like medieval swords, SCA armor, wedding accessories, pirate costumes, jewelry, games, patterns, tights, and shoes.
