How to put it together
- 1
Put on the floor-length velvet gown, ensuring the hem sits just above the floor to avoid tripping.
- 2
Adjust the bell sleeves and smooth out the bodice of the dress.
- 3
Fasten the gold girdle belt around your waist, letting the decorative end hang straight down the center of the skirt.
- 4
Style your hair in loose waves or braids, then carefully place the gold circlet or crown on your head.
- 5
Slip into comfortable flat shoes or lace-up boots that match the medieval aesthetic.
- 6
Add optional jewelry, such as a pendant necklace or simple rings, to complete the royal ensemble.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup soft and natural with rosy cheeks, a neutral lip, and defined eyes. Style hair in long, loose waves, half-up braids, or a classic fishtail braid to match the historical fantasy aesthetic.

Tips
- Wear comfortable flats or boots, as medieval gowns are long and will hide your footwear anyway.
- If attending an outdoor Renaissance faire, wear thermal leggings under your gown for warmth.
- Opt for a gown with an adjustable lace-up back to easily customize the fit and comfort level.
- Hold the front of your skirt slightly when walking up stairs to prevent stepping on the fabric.
Did you know? Many modern depictions of medieval princesses are actually inspired by Victorian-era Pre-Raphaelite paintings, which romanticized the Middle Ages with flowing fabrics and loose, natural hair.
