German Renaissance Costume Re-creations

GermanRenRecreationsI’ve been very busy with work lately but I’m itching to blog, so a short blog post must suffice. Thus, I am sharing some of my favorite photos of 16th c. German costume re-creations with you, as I’ve lately been working with others to help them make their own costumes. These are all photos taken by me over the years. This is less about authenticity and more about enthusiasm for making and wearing this wonderful clothing! These photos are of me, my family, and my friends! Click each picture to view the full size photo and please feel free to share and pin these photos. Enjoy!

    I really like the outfits that you made for Master Konrad & Master Max! I have been trying to figure out a way that I can do German Renn. for my husband that he wont snag and tear out, he can be very hard on his garb! These will work for him! Puffs without slashes to get hung up on stuff. Thank You for these great pics as well as the how-to’s.
    Thank You, Lady Cate
