GENERAL INFORMATION

The following link leads to a summary of life in Elizabethan London and was written with Renaissance Festival performers in mind.  It addresses things we will not have an opportunity to discuss in workshops.  While we are not a recreation event and we do not represent England specifically, there is a great deal of interesting information here that will give you an idea of what life was like in the days of yore.  As always, feel free to do greater research if you wish - http://renaissance.dm.net/compendium

The following is a website for hoopskirts.  The nice thing about the hoopskirts on the page is that the hoops are adjustable and, sometimes, removable, which makes washing easy.  Avoid the Southern Belle style with ruffles.  You are looking for a 4 to 6 hoop skirt.  Keep in mind that, if you have the time to look, you can find hoopskirts at thrift stores and second hand shops (especially after the spring wedding season and prom) for a better price considering the wear that you can put on one during the Festival.  This is not an endorsement of this particular company as we have never dealt with them and have no comment about quality, reliability, etc. - http://www.hoopslip.com/
