Re: Ren Faire
The Ren Faire here in SoCal is in April/May, and you still can 90+ degree weather even then. I always pray for clouds, and try to go as early in the run (and in the day) as possible.
I've had the same nice quality green chemise and black skirt for about 8 years now. I don't if it's just that I've lost weight or if the elastic is dying, or both, but I should get a new skirt because it was too loose in the waist the last time I went. I also have one of the nice woven hats with a braid of black and green ribbons. I'd love a bodice (had a 2nd hand one ages ago; doesn't fit anymore), but I can't really afford one. A friend is very good at corsetry and has insisted several times she'll make me one some day, which is lovely but I know the rate she works on her sewing projects lol.
Sometimes if the weather is very cool, I can wear a costume from a play I was in years ago, which is a sort of Jacobean girl-disguised-as-boy getup. Tunic, black doublet, striped red/black (to imitate paneing/slashing) padded trunk hose, and either tights or leggings. It's very warm, so I've only worn it the faire twice in the last 10 years, but it looks awesome. I even have boy-short hair now, but it's always too hot and just more comfortable to wear the chemise and skirt and say the hell with it!
My favorite part of the faire is the food! I usually get a roast duck leg quarter and an artichoke with herb butter. And a lemon ice. And cider, although the last cider I got there was not tasty and I was disappointed because that shit's expensive.
