Yay a fellow Faire-goer! My fiance and his family and friends have a Ren. Faire Wardrobe. And I know for a fact its a complete, well-used wardrobe, I mended and cleaned the whole thing last summer stressed
My current costume involves a handmade corset (which I made MYSELF kthx), a purchased tiered skirt (which I didn't purchace for the sake of my costume but it worked its way in there), boots, a wand (with sheath!), and a walking staff (high heel boots are a b*tch). I tend to go for the fantasy/mage/witch angle, I guess b/c I'm trying to stand out from my usual crowd of hunters, crusadors, celtic wenches, and pirates. Oh, but occasionally I'll dress in the "Black Queen" outfit my fiance's mother made (black brocade dress w/ hoop skirt and long belled sleeves).
As far as historically accurate, well, no one but the actors at my local faire are accurate. Ours is currently in Elizabethan Times, almost EVERYONE runs around with a tail or wings on, and my fiance dresses as a Paladin/Crusador (14th century, NOT Ellizabethan in the slightest), so, yeah, not historically accurate.

*waves* Casual Rennie. I always go in garb, but I always sport peasant garb, which luckily isn't too picky, since it was simple and in whatever colors, cut, and styles worked best for the ones wearing it. I usually buy my bodices, but I make my shirts and skirts. I'm actually due to make some new garb, because I've been using my mum's old peasant top from when she was a teenager after my old shirt went missing. ^^;;; I might even have a picture floating around somewhere.
With peasant garb, the important thing is that the skirt starts up beneath the bodice, so you can't see the waist, and continues down to your feet. And your colors don't necessarily have to match very well, but they shouldn't be too vivid, so no purples or good solid reds, because practically no one had access to those colors. I usually make my shirts out of muslin or linen. 3nodding Most people who go to RennFaire don't care much about accuracy, as long as you're not appalling (the costume nazis were shot down for the most part back in the 90s, at least at mine), as shown by the cretins in Conan type outfits. xp
Definitely, making your own with some costuming patterns you like is the cheapest way to go, and buying at Faire is the worst thing you can do, because it's so expensive. Best thing to do if you don't want to make them is hunt up someone who makes them for SCA, because they tend to be pretty fairly priced, overall.
