The Victorians and Edwardians certainly liked costume parties.
I’ve come across some interesting themes, but will stick to those with Astronomical elements.
Some appear to represent The Night. These are from the late 19th early 20th century.
They seem to be dresses with Stars/Moons, appliqued or sewn on. One looks like the design has been painted on.
A few ideas to try maybe.
