If you don't mind a little work an oversized button up shirt can be quickly turned into a ren shirt. Just replace the top 3 to 4 buttons with slits and some fabric glue to stop fraying. Then lace up with a ribbon of your choosing. No one will see the other buttons once you layer the rest of the outfit.

don't sleep on straw tricorns either. I bought one from a shop in Quebec and it's a blessing to have going to TRF or Scarborough in TX. It really breathes and it's also something that you would have seen in the Caribbean during the Golden Age. Waistcoats and vests are also your friend when being a pirate at a faire, and especially if you don't like a corset.

A lot of people have said that I'm a little bit of a little kid for still liking pirates but you're a clear testament to that and oh my God you are so beautiful

Military combat uniforms have had these, forever. They are for "blousing" the legs, tie them above the top of the boot and let the leg hang over. Now, they use elastic blousing bands.

This is the first time i got to hear your voice because I normally only see your shorts. Truly a caress of the eardrums! Thanks for all the pointers!

[wizard-lizard]

I love all your pirate costume videos! I've been scouring thrift stores for some good boots and poofy shirts for a while, so it's nice to hear a few online recommendations for if I run out of luck in my area!

Thank you so much for this video! As an aspiring pirate for Ren Faires this video comes in handy whenever I have any questions! I would love to see more covering more tips and tricks :)

[CaminoTurtle]

I was doing some research on Disney bounding as a pirate lass going to visit Captain Jack Sparrow and your video popped up in my recommended list. What a happy find. Looking forward to your future videos on other Ren Faire outfits you may have put together, especially using thrift items. I'm on a tight budget, so any way to recycle clothing helps.

Been doing Ren faire and Pirate fest for years……..lots of costumes I have put together over the years……miss the original Ren Faire in the Malibu Have fun everyone!!!

[toddberry]

Love the way put a pirate look together . Pirates were poor, but went all over the known World, and your ideas really show that.
Saucy sailor by the band Steeleye Span comes to mind .Great vid.

It is amazing the looks you create and with a little tweaking you could be steampunk

Met her yesterday at Kentucky Ren Faire! Sweetest woman ever. Keep up the good work Captain!

It is really nice of Meghan to share her vast experience, tips and sources for putting together an authentic looking pirate outfit.

Love that you are very dedicated to your craft. And the love of all thing pirate!! Thank you for the video. And you for being so beautiful about it and your cosplay of it. CHEERS!!

[MichelleNyxRaymond]

Woah…
Thanks a bunch for making this video!
Definitely really helpful tbh!
So, I bought my first tricorne hat (leather) from the same vendor as you and OOF definitely heavy haha.
Other than that, you and your channel/content I find really helpful because I want to eventually get a couple pirate outfits going!
Last year, my mom was able to win tickets to the NY Renn Festival in Tuxedo. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked! 😂
So yeah! Can’t wait to see more from you! Cheers! ☺️

I love your pirate looks. Been following your short videos for ages. I have the same hat as your brown one, but mine is black, and have to say I think you understated just how heavy that thing is! It feels like they made it out of bricks when you've been wearing it for an hour. Such a shame because it looks great. I have now made my own tricorn out of a felt hat and I'm happy with it as a base but it needs more decoration.

[natashabenjamin]

I have a green pirate looking top that is big on me because it was my dad’s. He wore it with his kilt, sadly he passed away 5 years ago. I could use it.

[bobgamble]

Great video, I'm a photographer, I try to do quite creative fantasy and steampunk styles, but I'm hoping to branch into piratepunk soon. Really cool, keep up the good work :-)

[Marie-cqcy]
