Complete patrols in the EDZ with full New Monarchy Sovereign armor equipped and while pledged to New Monarchy. While pledged to Future War Cult, complete the Ancient's Haunt Lost Sector in the Tangle on Nessus. So, cleverly, and seemingly all but flawlessly, reinvented as the beautiful and fascinating Mistress Kate Merriot (Robin) and her brother Peter (Prue), the pair enter fashionable London society, working under the “hide in plain sight” principle, and are soon established as reputable youngsters about town. Kate knows how to flirt her fan to perfection and Prue is at home at a card party, so they get along very well – especially Robin-as-Kate, who furthers his romance with vivacious heiress Letitia by gaining her confidence, and then dazzling her as a mysterious hero.

The woman’s dress is inspired by the 16th-18th century Commedia dell’arte Pierrot character, which was a popular choice for costume (Fig. 5). Her outfit is made in a very fashionable cut for a late 1870s gown; compare it to the evening dress in figure 6, though the masquerade dress is much shorter–a defiance of norms acceptable in fancy dress.

Accessed December 8, 2015. https://amberbutchart.wordpress.com/2012/10/26/in-the-spotlight-an-unofficial-history-of-fancy-dress/ The sitters in this portrait remain unidentified, though the woman appears in the same costume in a later painting called Pierrette (Fig. 4). They appear to be friends and are dressed in elaborate and beautiful costumes, quietly sharing drinks in a conservatory during or after a masquerade ball. The scene itself is fun and flirtatious, like so many of Madrazo’s artworks.

I wonder if there will be a romance for Alan of Montlice, who was left unwed at the end of that exciting battle-based novel? The garments in this painting were most likely custom-made and sewn by hand. Such costumes were to be worn at brilliant parties that celebrated decadence and indulgence and complied to an extravagant theme (Fig. 16). These parties often strayed as far as possible from reality, allowing not only women but also men to abandon their customary dress and exchange it for something grand and otherworldly. It was in this capacity that couture houses first made clothing for men. These men often commissioned their costumes from their wives’ and lovers’ couturiers (De La Haye 111-117).

One key accessory in Masqueraders is the woman’s mask, called a moretta. Masks were an extremely popular accessory for costume balls like this (Fig. 15), and they originated in Venice in the 15th century. Venetians were permitted to wear masks in-between Christian holidays, and celebrated the ideas of disguise, mystery, and concealed identity intertwined with everyday life (Buchart). Gloves, jewelry, and elaborate headpieces that coordinated with the costumes were also common accessories.

The Masqueraders is not only my favorite Heyer book so far (including the contemporaries that I love so well), but might well be the best book I have read this year. WOW, TWO CROSS-DRESSING stories in a row! I certainly wasn’t expecting that. It makes me wonder how many more heroes (and especially heroines) I’ll see in disguise across the next several dozen books.The clothing shown in this portrait is not an example of high fashion for the time the painting was done. Since these two were attending a masquerade ball, all guests were dressed in costume. Masquerade clothing, or ‘fancy dress’, from this period was often representative of animals, objects, and themes from nature, including astronomical phenomena and plants. It also commonly looked to the past for inspiration, resulting in costumes drawn from previous eras or from fairy tales. Costumes for these balls, attended by the wealthiest portion of society, were elaborate and decadent. Haye, Amy, and Valerie D. Mendes. “Fancy Dress.” In The House of Worth: Portrait of an Archive, 111-117. London: V&A Publishing, 2014. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/858843985 Well, Masquerade masks have been made in Venice, Italy for over 1000 years and there are many mediums that are currently being used to create the masks.
