My dress would be constructed using Margilan silk gauze, iridescent/spherical helium balloons, wired needlework butterflies, velvet, and silk dupion.  I love the idea of a dress with a life of its own (similar to a kinetic sculpture), that plays on the traditional silhouette, replacing panniers with the lift given helium balloons.  Could it work?  I don't know...but I hope so!

My masque dress is inspired by my favorite musician, Kate Bush.  Her album, "Hounds of Love", includes a suite of songs known as The Ninth Wave.  They tell the story of a woman swept overboard and alone in the water.  The form-fitting dress represents the choking cold water, with the arm fringes symbolizing icicles.  The full half-skirt is blue to represent the wave that may have capsized the ship, with foam frothing at the bottom.

This owl is one of many masks I made for the children's choir in a production of Benjamin Britten's 'Noye's Fludde.' It's more like a medieval mystery play than a Stuart masque, though still very impressive when everyone is disguised and playing a character.

Since I'm terrible at designing my own stuff, I usually recreate prior existing costumes. This is the most elaborate one I have made so far. It's up for debate if it would fit a modern day masque. On the one hand, a masque means pretending to be someone else, while on the other hand a modern masque might draw more from modern shapes and styles. I am fonder of historical shapes anyways.

This is my gown based upon the painting "Bella Nani" by Veronese. The gown itself appears not too out of the typical style, however important elements change that: The size of the jewelry is far larger than typical and the cut/paned sleeves are fairly rare in Italian portraiture. If there wasn't a German hat in the way, the girdle is the size of a woman's hand and draped in emeralds. Because no one can confirm the identity of the woman in the painting with certainty, it has been theorized she could be a "pin up" girl, and therefore the unusual elements are a part of her exaggerated charm rather than a reflection of reality.

This costume is inspired in the African religions that are part of my cultural heritage in Brazil. Yemanjá is the Goddess of the sea. Traditionally she wears strings of shells over her face, which coincidentally works a bit like a mask. Forbidden to practice their religions, slaves in Brazil matched each of their Gods to a Saint from the Catholic Church and this imagery persists today, when Yemanjá is normally associated with the Virgin Mary. In my costume I matched a classic Virgin Mary Robe to my sea inspired design.

In my spare time I wear a fashion that originated on the streets of Harajuku, Tokyo, which takes its inspiration from European Rococo, Victorian and Edwardian fashions of the wealthy. It is the perfect kind of fanciness to me, which would make it incredibly appropriate to wear to a masque, even if by now the historical references are pretty distorted and never really reflected Jacobeian fashion. However, something like this outfit is what I would wear, although depending on the specific theme of the masque, it would most likely be adjusted to fit better. This is just a generic outfit to give a flavour of what that fashion is like in its fancier form and to show how well it would fit a masque. Note how despite the length of the dress being only down to the knees, the fashion is still very modest, with face and hands being the only bits of skin on show.

Dress is by Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, blouse by Resailan, socks by Angelic Pretty, shoes by Innocent World, flower headband by After Midnight and the flower and frame headpiece handmade by an artisan.)

When given the task my first thought was of Pocahontas. I thought she had visited about the same time. I looked it up. An sure enough she visited with her husband in 1617. I drew the picture (chicken scratch).   With idea of incorporating some first nation flare. Think light and flowing but also in hide, both tan and white, fringe, feathers of all kinds, tuffs of rabit fur on the collar. Turtle bag, and the breastplate is probably fully beaded with flowers.. of course cozy moccasins. Probably more Ojibway influanced than Powatan. Its what I know. Acording to History Today Pocahontas (Rebecca Rolfe) attended a masque “The Vision of Delight” by Ben Johnson on The Twelfth Night 1617. Neat to learn that after, she is so related to the topic.

I have always been drawn to bright yellow and I love how it goes well with pink, orange, and red. I imagine the bottom of the dress would be made out of tool to give it a slight fluff and airy feel to it. I also imagine the bottom would explode in color. I added the flowers and lace detail because I also love those things on clothes. To make the bottom of the dress and mask stand out, I kept the rest of the outfit simple. The fan has music notes on it to incorporate my involvement in music. I have played the saxophone for twelve years. Another feature of my dress would be hidden zipper pockets so I don't need to carry a purse.

My costume is to represent the European pilgrim ways of the Camino de Santiago and the Via Francigena. The red/white trousers is the colour of the signs to Rome and the scallop shells on the top and as earrings is the sign of the Way of St James. The blue and yellow star headdress is to represent the European Union across which these trials travel. The white top has the keys of St Peter on. The cloak is to represent the style of the medieval pilgrims and is has a design of paths across it and is blue to represent travelling under the open skies. The character carries a pilgrim staff and is wearing Roman style sandals.

Heaps of feathers, and shredded gauzy stuff to make up the skirt, with a fair bit of bare skin, the flamingo head covering the bust. Long sheer pink sleeves, and black mask covered in pink dyed ostrich feathers.

Whipped this up today from old fabric in my cupboards, its pinned to the Mannequin but for me it was the best way to visualise how these things would be put together! Hoping to buy more fabric this weekend to make it an actual garment!

I guess you could say it's Tudor meets Stuart style. Except I used bright colors that might not be found in every day wear with gold and silver iridescent accents. I was inspired by Charles II and Queen Elizabeth I. I was trying to convey tulle with her train, sleeves and collar but it was a bit tricky to pull off.

Sea Queen: Modern Masque costume

# data[].attributes.headline
“Sea Queen”. It is like she has just emerged, dripping, from the sea. I like the Elizabethan collar elements and the use of jewels. They suggest a strong, powerful and confident woman, just as Queen Elizabeth I was. The tight fitting gown is a modern twist, to show off her beautiful curves.

“Sea Queen”. I love the Elizabethan style collar and use of jewels. They signify power, confidence and a strong presence. Here, the look is modern with a tight fitting dress and sheer organize panels, to show off her curves. It is as though she has just emerged, dripping, from the sea.

So I have the golden cloth with embroidered H and M. Royal Wedding. Blue silk dress with stars for the EU with one on its own for Brexit. Flames on the skirt signifying war on terrorism. Hoops of bamboo for plastic hula hoops for our awareness of the effects of plastic,coloured in the colours of supermarkets for the carrier bags. I really enjoyed this.

My choice of costume woul be this Danaerys Targaryen dress from GOT season 7. The dress is made from leather, but I would use heavy velvet, and for the cape-like sleeves some woolen fabric. All in the beautiful shades of grey. For the décolleté and shoulders I would do some embroidery with metallic thread.

Orangina is the spirit of the orange grove. Her dress is of orange sequin embellished organza with an orange petticoat. Her wings are leaves from the orange tree ( I don't have an orange tree so these are leaves from a forsythia. She holds an orange in one hand and her wand in the other. Her hair is of spun gold (some fringing from an old scarf).

Here's one I designed and built based on a Phantom of the Opera costume. It's Red Death, taken from Boccaccio's Decameron. An Italian Court holds a masque (Of the Red Death) and the plague arrives as a character to take their lives...

For my modern day masque I picked Disney’s Tangled movie and the character of Rapunzel. I picked her because she’s an excellent choice for a play for all ages. In the Disney version it’s full of important life lessons in various characters. Examples would be; step out of your comfort zone, don’t believe everything you hear, animals provide comfort, things aren’t always what they seem, hobbies are very important, life is full of small, perfect moments, never give up, and you haveall  you need inside of you to make a difference and to conquer anything you face. In this version her hair has magical healing powers and she learns she truly is a princess I picked this dress because it represents her love of the stars and her love for painting. It’s purple to represent her character. There’s a lantern to represent the ones that go up every year on her birthday. There’s her favorite friend Pascal from the tower on her shoulder. And a masque to represent the traditional masques from the 17th century.

I chose this character from Disney’s movie Tangled. I picked this character because it represents her live for stars and art as well as her true character dress of purple. Tangled makes an excellent masque for children as well as adults. It has so many important life lessons within the script. Rapunzel learns her true identity, to leap outside her comfort zone, to learn she has healing powers in her hair and that she has a family. Her masque represents the era of masks in the 17th century for their plays.

My costume is a springtime fairy and I was very inspired by ballet and a Midsummer Night’s Dream. It wasn’t a particular character per say but I wanted something that was bright and vibrant as well as playful with length. I liked how the women in the masques played with sheer fabrics and length as a way to be independent and in control. The meaning I was trying to convey was joy and bursts of laughter through the colors.

My drawing skills are very limited so I have made a "mixed media" 3D version.

Spirit of the orange grove is wearing an orange organza dress embellished  with sequins which look like little oranges.  She has an underskirt of orange organza crepe.  Her wings are forsythia leaves - I had no orange leaves to hand!  Her hair and bodice were made from an old scarf.  She holds an orange in one hand and a wand in the other.

My inspiration came from what was available to use. The Stuarts did the same to an extend by raiding the Tutor wardrobes

I wouldn't go as a guest, more as a performer, I think! So, I chose ”Manon” to go as. Since it says 'modern-day' masque (we can take the Met Gala as an example of that.) because "L' historie du chevalier des grieux et de manon lescaut' was written in 1731 (The novel in which the ballet is based on) & that makes it so very unlikely to be a thing during the Stuart time. Still If it was for back then and If I were to go not as performer I would like something similar to Manon's dresses but adjusted & fit for a Stuart Masque.

I took my inspiration for my masque costume from Raphael’s Saint Michael Vanquishing Satan and from the recent Met Gala theme. I wanted to incorporate a lot of textures with the metal of the breastplate, the scaled sleeves, and the feather patterned cape for his wings. - Saga B.
