Making a Renaissance Corset and Chemise to wear to the RenFaire | 18th Century Stays for RenFest

First off I am aware that during the Renaissance period stays were either non-existent or very new, and corsets definitely didn't exist in the way we think of them today! But YouTube SEO loves corsets so here we are.

I am SO excited for the Renaissance Festival! Pittsburgh doesn't have a very good one so I haven't been in ages, but now that we've moved good RenFaire's are less than four hours away!

I've never made a full (or even part of) an outfit for myself since I was not great at sewing in high school, so I'm taking this opportunity to make myself a base wardrobe 😊This month I'll be making a fairy costume for myself to wear to the Renaissance Festival at the end of the month. I started and made this whole costume during October but because the witch was more thematically appropriate I pushed all of these videos to November. So by the time this is uploaded I will have already gone to the RenFest and finished this costume. However, please don't take that to mean I don't want suggestions! Any suggestions or advice you give will be noted for next year so please fire away.

This week I'm starting with stays and a chemise since stays are by far the most fun part and the chemise is kind of a necessity. The stays are much more late 1700s than anything renaissance but they seem super popular as part of the standard "wench" costume so I thought it would be a useful garment to have for future RenFests! Plus they're cute so living my best life
