We at Mr bens fancy dress were looking into the definitions of fancy dress, and disguise.

just read what we came up with

1* an outward semblance that misrepresents the true nature of something; “the theatrical notion of disguise is always associated with catastrophe in his stories” 2* any attire that modifies the appearance in order to conceal the wearer’s identity * make unrecognizable; “The herb masks the garlic taste”; “We disguised our faces before robbing the bank” 3* the act of concealing the identity of something by modifying its appearance; “he is a master of disguise” wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

4.DISGUISES….

while not a food, were romantic fantasies played out between the courses.  Frequently the host (Edward III and Richard II among others) played a role.  The earliest records are from 1347 and show up in the clothing and props that were planned.  Costumes were often outlandish but did not necessarily hide the participants’ identities.  Disguises were most frequently done during Tudor and Stuart periods.  The disguisers might sing and dance but never interacted with the dinner guests as was done with the interludes.  So that everyone might be aware of the meaning of the strange  costumes and activities, a “presenter” would make comments.  Mumming may have been an offshoot of the early disguises.
