History of Fancy Dress

As old as time itself, the art of dressing up has been in existence for many thousands of years. Originally, Fancy Dress was used as a disguise, enabling the wearer to take on a new identity for a whole variety of reasons, some honourable and some with a more dubious intent! Gradually, as time evolved, Fancy Dress was associated with the element of fun, and in more modern times masked balls were the fashionable method of enjoyment for high society.
