I have a photo snapped here that was taken at Garner State Park today. I loved this doorway. The photo is small because it is very unattractive.

Here is my question - it kind of looks like a castle doorway...so when it comes to a costume if I'd like to put a woman in the doorway...what time period do you think would fit? I have ideas, but when I talk to the people at the costume shop - I am not always saying the time period correctly, so I confuse them. For instance, I do not know what the difference is between a woman's medieval dress and a renaissance dress.

It doesn't really have to be historically accurate - after all this is actually the service entrance to the concession stand, but I don't want someone to look and the first thing they think is that it is the wrong costume.
