Chemise

If we talk of renaissance chemise the image that comes in our mind is a lady wearing one piece undergarment which is more like a straight hanging dress. These chemises show the soft and gentle side of women. For comfort fit these renaissance dresses are made in loose fittings and are upto thigh, knee and ankle length.

Blouses and Tops

Blouses are Ok but have you ever heard of pirate blouses and tops? Once I was also not ware of such things but when I started browsing on internet I found a wide range of costumes in this category. Not only their numbers but also their designs and look attracted me. They look pretty as well as fashionable too. Manufactured from rich and thick velvet fabric and rayon crepe fabric these blouses come with V shaped neckline or have lace or frills at neck along with long loose fit sleeves. To make dress more elegant and sophisticated loop, eyelets, straps and drawstrings are used while designing. If you are interested in renaissance or pirate blouse you can choose from waist length, hip length or below hip length blouses.

Skirts and pants

If there are pirate blouses and tops than why not pirate pants for women. Stripped pants and harem pants are the classic version of female pirate pants. Harem pants come with the beautiful lacing at waist and have button cuffs at ankles and are manufactured from thick and rich rayon viscose fabric. On the other hand stripped pants are designed from pure cotton fabric and have elastic at ankles. The narrow endings of both pants give them puffy look.

For women skirts and modesty were interrelated in medieval era. They were worn to make other material to drape better over them. Skirt a garment in cone or tube shape hangs from waist and covers all parts of legs. But now they are available in various measurements from thigh length to ankle length. Once you browse internet you will come across of various designs of colorful skirts divided in layers from single layered to mufti layered.
