Were there more technological advances in the Renaissance than in the Middle Ages?
I would say not. The lists below are for inventions and adopted technology of the period of 450 to 1350 AD (medieval, prior to the beginning of the Renaissance), 1350 to 1450 (part of both medieval and Renaissance periods) and 1450 to 1600 (Renaissance after the Middle Ages ended). The lists were derived from articles on the subject of technology of the two periods. They show about the same pace for invention of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, with an increase in the period of 100 years that fell into both.

How the Middle Ages was a departure from the Renaissance?
Here is a quick answer. The middle ages was different from the renaissance because the renaissance was basicly a time when the arts music and science reawakened and had some advances to it. People were more interested about art, music, literature, and science in the renaissance. During the middle ages it was not as important to the people, so when the renaissance came the arts were kind of reintroduced to the people. The renaissance lasted from about 1300 to 1600.

Were the clothing during the Renaissance and the middle ages the same?
There was a certain overlap between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly in Italy, where the Renaissance began about a hundred years before the Middle Ages ended. So there was a point when they were the same. Fashions change, however, and this was especially true in both the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Apart from that bit of overlap, clothing of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were different.
