Hi all! I may be going to a masque ball with a London in 1790 setting in a few months, and I'm wondering what sets masquerade clothes and accessories apart from regular clothing in the 1780's and 90's. Is there anything published on this specific subject, or any relevant web pages? I've tried to google for sites and books but have come up short. Aileen Ribeiro's "The Art of Dress: Fashion in England and France 1750-1820" is what you need. One chapter is "Remembrance of Things Past: Image and Reality in Fancy Dress in England." You may find inspiration for a Turkish, Van Dyke, or classically-based ensemble.
