Renaissance Costumes

Not all women dressed in identical outfits. What a woman wore depended on her age (older women preferred more traditional styles), background (rural noblewomen weren't privy to the latest London fashions), body type (some larger women may have worn styles that flattered their figure) and individual taste. In 1580, a woman could choose to wear a French gown, round gown, loose gown, night gown, doublet, Italian gown, and Flemish and Polish gown, just for starters.
The best online stores will help women find the right undergarments (like chemises, hoopskirts, bloomers, and corsets) to wear under their dresses, skirts, or ball gowns. Pirate costumes, Scottish clothing and kilts, and children's costumes are also available from the right online Renaissance stores.
When you're dressing for a particular era, accessories complete your look. The trend towards greater extravagance in dress, found in the 11th -13th centuries, increases throughout this whole period. The competition in dress took a new twist in this period. Not surprisingly they too adopted fashion as a marker of wealth and status, and the fashions of the cities came to be the fashions of the courts and aristocracy.
