Years ago I came across a costume in an antique store, a pitiful little
cheap cotton dress, looking like 1920s or 1930s cloth and basic design, done
in pseudo-18th century style.
ame from another source, but was used during the 30's
decade.

My first thought also was that it must have been an 18th-century themed ball,
especially as the Cotillion was a dance of that period.

My brother sent me a question about fashion in 1867 - specifically regarding
a ball in Washington DC. Do any of you have any idea why an 1867 woman
would powder her hair or wear a blue ribbon around her neck?

Sounds like a costume ball, sometimes called fancy dress ball.

My first guess is a "fancy-dress" (costume) or themed ball.

I suspect it was a costume ball, either in 18th-century dress or with
this "set" in 18th-century dress. Note that 1867 is almost, though not
quite, a centennial year of the Declaration of Independence.
For fancy costume balls, it was not uncommon for a group of people to
get together to dress
