Release the inner barmaid in you with the Wench Costume!

Wenches are an old name for poor farm girls, those sweet, innocent countryside girls often depicted as fragile and gullible. However, depending on the company the wench keeps, she may either stay being a sweet peasant wench, all delicate and fragile, or if she gets thrown into bad company, she evolves into a hard drinking pirate wench, nasty and not to be messed with.

Peasants during Medieval times were farmers, blacksmiths, millers, or tavern owners. In all these lines of work, a wench was sure to be in the background, working and toiling.

In medieval times, the social position or rank of a person influences the manner of dress they wore. They had to be basic and practical. Wenches, being of the lower classes, wore simple blouses and gowns, as they were of the working class, mobility and flexibility a must in everyday life. Also, in olden times, clothing tended to be itchy, being of coarse wool or linen, as modern know-how in refined garment-making was not yet present. Thank goodness for technology! Now, you can dress up as a wench and not worry about the discomfort that came with it!

The common elements of a wench costume (farm wench or pirate wench) are a peasant skirt and a long embroidered dress or bodice, the only difference in the outfits being the footwear, where the farm wench wears sandals that show off her soft and dainty feet, and the pirate wench wears knee-high leather boots, the better to repress an overzealous pirate’s amorous advances.

The wench costume is never complete without the white peasant shirt or blouse. They come with laces on the front and have wide, ruffled sleeves and frills along the bottom seam. These may have embroidery on the front. These shirts give off that fresh-from-the-farm image, innocent and naïve. Pirate wenches tend to have their bosoms bursting from their peasant shirts, while the farm wench’s shirt conceals her curves.

The bodice imbues character to the wench costume. It adds color to the otherwise drab white of the peasant shirt. Worn by both peasants and the royalty, the bodice is an integral part of medieval clothing. The bodice, apart from being the outer dress of wenches, served as aprons, protecting the wearer from spills and stains. Numerous designs and colors of bodices are available, but the most appropriate and most common for the wench costume is the black bodice with lace straps, akin to those of milkmaids of the past.

The sandals that the farm wench wears protect her feet while she is running across fields of grass, with her windswept blond hair bouncing behind her. She dances and glides in the meadows, without a care in the world. The farm wench costume cannot be accurate if these sandals are missing.

On the other hand, the pirate wench’s footwear of choice are big, chunky boots with straps and buttons. They may or may not have been stolen from a dead pirate’s corpse, but they get the message across: The pirate wench can hurt you in more ways than you can imagine.

To complete the look, you can carry a wicker basket or a wooden bucket if you’re going as a farm wench. Tie a bandana around your head and brandish a sharp sword or scimitar if you decide on going as a pirate wench.

Make your imagination soar! Have a Prince Charming sweep you off your feet! Be a crusty swashbuckling adventuress, shiver me timbers! Whether you’re a sweet farm wench, or a naughty pirate wench, the wench costume will surely make you the life of the party this Halloween!
