I did something similar when I was the Royal Herald for Kurgan and Huraiwa, who are of Persian persona.  My persona is 16th century French, and I couldn't bear the idea of wearing eastern garb. Having looked at some of the information and pictures from masques, in the end I wore a rather spectacular and somewhat silly outfit; one of my full hooped skirted black dresses, with stand up ruff and all, with a turban, an eastern style coat, and sash.  A 16th Century Frenchwoman's interpretation of "eastern" garb.
