Is it appropriate to wear a mermaid costume to a renaissance fair?
Answer 1:In no way is wearing a Mermaid costume appropriate for a Renaissance Faire, since this is an Historical scene. Renaissance is a period in time, it is not a fairy tale, it is not fantasy, unless the Faire specifically has Fantasy in its name. Mermaids were considered prostitutes. When Mary Queen of Scots married her 3rd husband who was accused of killing her 2nd husband they portrayed her as a mermaid. Renaissance Faire is supposed to be if you went to a faire back in the 1500s.Why not do some research and make a really nice gown and then people will be very pleased to see your efforts.What was asked was would it be appropriate to wear a mermaid costume to a Renaissance Faire, and it is not.Answer 2:Actually, mermaids featured strongly in renaissance times, and would be a suitable choice for a renaissance fair. Mermaids were often seen as interchangeable with sirens; they were depicted as tempting the renaissance sailors, and often luring them to their deaths as the sailors leapt overboard to have their way with the mermaids, only to be thwarted by their tails.Art in Venice in the renaissance featured all sorts of monsters of the sea, and this included mermaids and mermen.
