Makes me wish I was able to go to the launch because I would have satisfied the curiosity of potential masqueraders and Trini revellers fans alike with photos hot off the press!The mas camp is not open for viewing as yet either, hopefully they will be up and running by early next week. There is a mini review of the launch from a fellow Trini blogger on her blog Everything Carnival.
I was able to get in contact with one of the section leaders for Royal Court de Versailles ( the section which was featured in Sunday's Trinidad Guardian ) Kyle Matas and he provided me with some more information on the section. Even though this will be their first time producing a section for a large band, he seems quite excited and plans on surprising masqueraders with unparalleled service and novel extras. Not wanting to go into too much details, I will just say that if all plan are executed, masqueraders in the section Royal Court can look forward to being treated like Kings and Queens.
According to Kyle, the section aims on providing; "a beautiful costume along with a fabulous all-inclusive package of food and premium drinks for our two day sojourn through the streets of Port-of-Spain. An alternative casual ensemble is to be provided for Carnival Monday as well as a complimentary gift bag stocked with Carnival essentials."
The website will be launched by months end and I will post the link as soon as it becomes operational. Costumes from this section are to be displayed at Trini Revellers mas camp as well as their private mas camp which will be located downstairs the Synergy building on Tragarete Road. An expected opening date for the private mas camp is early November.
Kyle was able to supply me with a larger photo of the one used on the Guardian which features only two of the five costume options (there will be a version with shorter trains as well).

I am curious to see how these costumes look on the road.
Now I am not a beads and feathers person, but I don't see this being a costume at all, but more like couture.
What does everyone else think?
Well the section leader did say there are three more costumes that are not pictured in that photograph and there will be a version with a shorter skirt/train. So I am thinking they are catering for those who want less fabric as well as those who might love the costumes with all the cloth. I absolutely see the couture element in the costumes,honestly I love it and I am a beads and feathers person :D
I love it. If allyuh see costumes back in the day, they looked like somethiing for a Broadway show, so I don't see Kyle and his sister straying too far from the mas element.
It does look like couture yes, and it's very fitting with the Versailles theme.
hey, carnival scene, has pictures of trini revellers band launch.
That is real cloth boy. But gorgeous. I'd play in the shorter version definitely. Could you imagine the amazing makeup/accessorising and hairstyle you could do with this? WOW!
