Drape a few strands over your tux or dress, layering the traditional colors of the holiday. Are you going to a masquerade ball? A mask will add an element of mystery to your costume, and there are many styles that will complement any outfit. A feathered mask with sequins adds some flash and drama, and can either be tied behind your head or traditionally carried on a wand. Perhaps you are brave enough to try a fancier mask, or even a headdress. Ornate and elaborate Italian Venetian masks and headdresses adorned with crystals, gold or silver are beautiful and unique ways to finish off your Mardi Gras ball costume. mardi gras dresses
