A period costume is
one that captures the ambience of a particular era or period in history. It
could include such eras as the 18th or 19th centuries or it could be
medieval.
This particular
"period fancy dress costume" is probably typical of the 18th Century (the
Century Of Enlightenment) which is basically the 1700s. Particularly from
1750 onwards, fashion in Europe and North America started to involve
elaborate and intricate clothing design, and big, extreme hair styles. The
trends were influence by the Rococo (or Late Baroque) artistic movement -
originating more often than not from France, and worn by such icons as Marie
Antoinette.
This Madame
Masquerade fancy dress costume includes such intricacy in it's design and is
ideal as a period or historical fancy dress costume, or as just a slightly
revealing and sexy fun fancy dress outfit for ladies.
