AboutThis is a community for anyone who is involved in Renaissance Faires around the world, especially those who make or are looking for costumes. This community can serve as a place where costumers can exchange ideas, show off their work, or help one another out with various problems they might encounter. Newbies welcome!
RULES:
1. Do not post off-topic. We do not care about how drunk you got after the faire one weekend unless it pertains to your costume in some way, shape, or form.
2. Items for sale ARE allowed- however, they will be permitted only if you have something else costume-related to go with it. Ideally, the focus of the post should be the construction of the item itself or other interesting things about the item, rather than the fact that you're selling it. A lot of us make our own costumes, and so are not as interested in the selling part as one might hope.
3. Be polite. This is a forum for discussion where everyone should feel free to show off their work and ask questions without people being rude or nasty. Constructive criticism is welcome, even encouraged, but comments like "YOU'RE WORK SUX" are not only grammatically incorrect, they do not help the person in anyway shape or form.
4. Some of us are inevitably more interested in historical accuracy than others. Please do not get nasty just because someone chooses to use polyester fabric, to make a wench's outfit in purple, or other various historical no-nos. If the OP asks for opinions on the accuracy of their garb, then constructive critcism is, of course, encouraged; otherwise, please keep the snark to yourselves.
5. The mod,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
