I made my boyfriend’s Ren Faire costume at the last minute – it’s easy for guys. Take an old white dress shirt, rip off all the buttons, rip off the collar, rip off the cuffs.
hand stitch the center together but leave the top open so he can pull it over his head. then use a hole punch to put holes on either side of the neck part – then you can use string, a bit of rope, leather, whatever you have – lace it through the holes. Then leave it untied on top…sexy! He can wear it with docks, chinos, whatever nondescript nonjeans he has.
For a girl, you just need a full skirt and a loose blouse. Again, you can create a corset if you want by doing the same sewing / ripping / creating lace holes as above.
Try to remove all the modern things: zippers, buttons, etc. Go for solid colors and whites rather than patterns. Wear sandals.
And weave flowers in your hair!
