Legacy is nearly upon us, adventurers! Still pondering what to wear? Don't worry – we are only a few weeks away and countless costuming possibilities remain. Begin by envisioning your character: Are you a battle-hardened warrior, a mystical healer, a powerful mage, or something else entirely? Defining your persona will guide your outfit choices. For inspiration, explore Pinterest, TikTok, and other social media for Ren Faire kits and fantasy attire ideas.
One of our favorite creators, MossySocks, demonstrates how easily you can transform everyday clothing into stunning costumes.

Thrifting is a fantastic way to find affordable basics – think suede pants or skirts, flowy shirts, leather belts, and satchels. With a little imagination, you'll assemble the fantasy character of your dreams! Then, it's time to accessorize, as Mossy advises! While just a tunic and simple pants are enough to meet the dress code, our merchants’ bazaar at Legacy will tempt you with leather goods, armor, furs, tunics, jewelry, dice and much more.
