Scarlet Darkness: Renaissance, gothic and fairy-tale costumes and outfits

Shopping at Scarlet Darkness? See all current Scarlet Darkness promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

Scarlet Darkness is a fashion brand founded in 2018 that focuses on historical and fantasy styles: Renaissance, gothic, Victorian and steampunk. Alongside everyday dresses, tops, skirts and corset-look pieces, it has a large range of character outfits, many sold as complete sets for Renaissance faires, Halloween and costume events. It ships worldwide and offers plus sizes.

It suits faire regulars, cosplayers and anyone who wants a full look without hunting down each piece separately. The homepage groups outfits into character "archetypes", such as fairies, princesses, villains and witches, which helps if you have a theme in mind.

What's worth a look

Six character outfits from the homepage, all at full price when we checked.

The Gothic Fantasy Witch Costume is the cheapest of the six, from $89.99. For a darker look, the Crimson Peak X Vampire Gothic Costume starts at $109.99. The Reimagined Character Outfits are part of the brand's 2026 fall Ren Faire collection. Most outfits are priced "from", so the final cost depends on the pieces and size you choose.

The blog is worth a read before you buy, with a guide to corseting and a friendly glossary of Renaissance faire lingo.

If you'd like something you can wear more often, the shop also sells separate dresses, tops, skirts and corset-style pieces in the same historical styles. Many of the dresses have a laced-up, corset look without rigid boning, which makes them easier to wear for a long day out.

Current offers

• 18% off with code RENFAIRE, one of the codes we list.
• 18% off site-wide with code DANI18, another code we list.

Some outfits on the homepage were also marked down when we checked, such as the Renaissance Fairy Costume from $95.99, down from $129.99.

How to save more

• Try one of the 18% codes at checkout. Only one code will normally apply per order, so pick the one that works on your basket.
• Check the sizing before you order. The brand ships worldwide and delivery can take a few weeks, so a return is slow and may cost you postage.
• Look at the marked-down outfits. Several fairy and Halloween sets had crossed-out prices, so compare them with full-price looks in the same style.
