HA, I should come up with a reason for Felicity to cross-dress. After all, it's canon in the original series!
Fun history fact time! I don't know if this was true specifically of colonial Williamsburg balls, but balls in general in both America and England were often short of men, so women did sometimes dance together.
Occasionally at military balls it went the other way: there was a dance during World War II, at Cairo just before the Tehran conference, where Winston Churchill danced with FDR's military aide, because there was a shortage of women.
