I know it's several months ago, but I wanted to share some photos from this years "
Oslo Medieval Faire". We were six persons attending in costume - three that I had made, and three that I borrowed from a costume department I occationally work at. OK, so we attended in Renaissance costumes, but few were able to tell the difference anyway...

The faire is held in the Medieval part of Oslo, capital of Norway. It's a really nice area, and it was fun this year. More for grown-ups and less for children - which I think is fair, since it's mostly grown-ups who's there! There were also so many nice costumes there this year, and more people dressing up that usual (it's not required to wear period outfits to attend).

An archer competition, with the correct amount of applauding and booing. To my big surprise, one of my former teachers attended - he is the bearded man in orange at the back.

The group (minus me, I was the photographer) at the roof of the new Norwegian Opera house. It's not far from where the Faire is held. Other people just assumed we were in the cast of some opera, and just had a break...

On our way to the faire. The dresses looked so nice from behind - I love that. The back is often what other people will see, yet it's so easy to neglect.

We're not really dancing... It just looks that way.

The Medieval version of "
Oh mother, can I have this?" is surprisingly similar the modern version... Ha-ha!

Hey! I joined in a picture as well! It's still taken by me, into a mirror, but as long as it works... My dress wasn't finished at this stage, it still lacked guards - the skirt totally lack guards, for exampled. But the bodice and overall shape was completed, and most comfortable to wear. Both dresses in the picture are based on Raphael portraits - the red one is "Donna Gravida", and the green one is "Lady with Unicorn".
