Don’t you just love those fashions from the Renaissance period ?
I saw Cate Blanchett in ‘Elizabeth’ and thought the costumes were absolutely sumptuous. Okay, they may not have been all that practical - I would assume that in the summer months those ladies in those flowing gowns and boned corsets would have perspired heavily…and they never had anti-perspirants back then.
A crowded room at a banquet in mid summer must have provided a pretty ‘ripe’ atmosphere…
Nowadays renaissance clothing is enjoying a rebirth (which is what ‘renaissance’ means) and surprisingly even brides are choosing this fashion as a theme for their weddings. A huge number of couples are going ‘medieval’ for their big day by adding a touch of romance and something olde just for a more different experience.
