I had a question about research. I want to create a peacock late 16th century gown. A suggestion was made to make is a masque costume. Do you have any documentation of any place that did whole costumes to replicate a bird in this time period from anywhere in the world?
Thank you!
Hey There Tanglwyst!
Congratulations on being the first person to comment on my blog! Thank you. I did a little research for you about the 16th century Peacock style gowns that can be used with masquerade masks, and like you I had some difficulty finding resources. I have found three sites that could help you find that perfect gown. The first site is an actual costume store specializing in dresses and costumes from the 16th century and more, check it out at Trystan Craft. This next site is slightly off in centuries, but it still has that same feel check out Margo Anderson’s Costume Patterns. Finally for historical facts check out Costumes.org. I hope this helped you. Please post a picture of you wearing your dress and masquerade mask if you ever find the peacock dress and mask you are looking for.
Thank You,

I will be wearing this mask to a Halloween party, but I don’t know what to wear with it. I’m a first timer, if possible please help with ideas. The only thing I have thought of is a black suit, white shirt, and thin black tie, but that seems rather boring. Thanks in advance!
