Masquerade Fancy Dress

by Fancy Dan on October 28, 2011

Masquerade fancy dress costumes originate from the masquerade ball, an event that began in the 15th Century, where the participants attended in costume wearing a mask. Masquerade balls became popular with the general public in Italy during the 16th century Renaissance and were particularly popular in Venice. It is outfits from this period that most of the modern masquerade fancy dress outfits are based on.

Below we look at a selection of masquerade ball fancy dress costumes, which have a wonderfully eloquent quality about them.
