Fancy dress outfits and costumes go back in history to at least the late early 1800's. Italians started the tradition of costumes and face masks. This seemed to be an influence on our European trend of masquerade balls during the 18th Century. Fancy dress balls started to become more popular, often with costumes revolving around well known characters from novels, such as Romeo and Julliet. Balls first started amongst the upper classes but popularity spread to the middle classes during the middle of the century.
Later masks began to lose popularity and more emphasis was placed on elaborate costumes. The Victorian age began the tradition of Fancy Dress balls. Today not only do we dress up for fancy dress parties but also Halloween, St. Paddys day(St. Patricks day), Christmas, New Year, Easter, Kids Nativity plays, general fancy dress parties, birthdays, movie openings, stag nights and hen nights to highlight the major themes.
