Historical Masquerade

Welcome to Costume-Con 31

Costume-Con 31 is a 4-day weekend conference for everyone who designs, makes, wears and/or admires costumes. CC-31 will include a myriad of instructional workshops, panel discussions, displays, a dealers room, costume competitions, meetups, parties, and the broadest collection of creativity all focused on costuming that you have ever had the privilege to contact in one place. Nothing starts the creative juices flowing in new paths like the intensive exposure to fresh viewpoints, techniques and enthusiastic dialog.

Historical costumes are evaluated both on construction and from the audience as presented. Entries can be categorized as Recreation, where precise historical techniques and faithful reproduction are valued, or Interpretation, where a period design or garment may just be a jumping-off point. In both categories, a short summary of the entrant’s supporting research (documentation) is important.
