Renfaire garb in off season

[Alaric]

Most of our stuff gets stored in the closet in my office. We don't have anything else in there apart from a few jackets.

Some stuff has overflowed into my Music room/ Library tho (My Cavalier Hat,  the rest is the Mrs stuff - several masks, parasol and a cheap pair of wings...)

Off season??  WHAT off season??

Like button!!

I don't have a lot of garb and none of it is noble so everything fits pretty well in about 2 feet of the closet and 2 dresser drawers. I keep hats on the closet shelf above the hangers, shoes on the floor of the closet, and a bag for belts, pouches, etc.

Basically, my garb gets the same treatment as my mundane clothes!

I usually keep my garb tucked away in a drawer. For my bodices and corsets, I hang them up in a closet.

hehe, can't wait to have more garb outfits!

To be fair by off season I meant "for that garb". We all have warm, rainy, hot, cold, spring, foggy, etc garb.

The husband and I keep our garbsets in ye olde plastic bins under our hobby table in the living room. Once and awhile we have a " Ren Day " where we were our garb around the house, eat food that reminds us of faire, and watch movies. Usually we also try out something new on our garb, a way of hanging something, or tying something, and as we clean the house and move around see if it "holds up ". Not a perfect run for faire, but close enough.

I would totally wear my Saeed's wife garb out in the Dane world - that mess is cool and comfy!

I would totally dress in garb during off season if I wasn't 100% i'd be divorced <mundane wife >

[Aderin]

100% sure that is haha

[Aderin]

 just got some garb from good-will, not the greatest and certainly not 100% period authentic but it looks well enough to me!

I found that when I come home from a faire, I like to strip down to my chemise and climb into bed. At the moment, the chemise that I have is very comfortable to wear, and I like wearing it to bed after a faire... maybe I have to wear it to bed more often lol. Has anyone else ever worn their faire clothes (undergarment faire clothes, or basic shirt/pants) to bed?

I had that problem, ONCE,  a long time ago.  I don't have that problem any more....
Just saying.

We have a 2 bedroom apartment, and it is just m'lord and I. Bedroom # 2 is known as the "craft" room, but in reality it is a combination work and storage room. Sewing machine and fabrics are in there, along with more craft supplies than anyone should have, plus all our garb, accessories, and such - and there is a fair amount as we can costume ourselves for about 5 different eras from Medieval to Victorian, with some fantasy & steampunk thrown in.

Garb - we have the closet full - but mostly of stuff we don't use that often. We have a rolling clothes rack that we inherited from a retail job m;lord used to work. It dissassembles, if we ever need to take it places (which we have done when we ran back to back medieval education days (Thurs / Fri) and ren faire (Sat / Sun)) but it is currently loaded with all manner of clothing. We also have hooks in the ceiling with a rod for longer pieces - cloaks, medieval gown, etc.

Accessories - in tubs by era - a few things will get transferred between tubs, but we try to keep them as self contained as possible.

Hoop skirt - someone was looking how to store them - I hang my farthingales (I have 3, currently) on a hook over the back of the door, or even on a hanger - a nail in the wall on the back of a clost will allow you to hang them flat - just try to rotate them from time to time to keep them from warping. I find a few days on the dress mannequin will allow them to hang true again - but it all depends on what they are stiffened with.

I was going to say the same thing!  I put mine against the wall in the back of the closest.  The other garb holds it in place just fine.

I keep mine in a cedar chest.. Except for my fancy hat. I haven't found a place for that yet. I picked it up at Muskogee a few days ago. It's so pretty!
