Ok, assuming that the venue and party is OK with it, it looks nice, you're not a sperg etc, I have advice for you, as someone who has to wear a sword around women in poofy skirts for a living: Don't. It is a monumental pain in the ass.

There is a reason there are countless macaroni prints (18thC satire comics) of men accidentally lifting or tearing skirts with their swords at dances or knocking over teapots. There is a reason that part of a boy's fencing lessons is how to walk and sit while wearing a sword. Taking it off is not an option either, from a safety standpoint of not having direct control at all times.

I know they look cool, but its just a liability in the end. My professional opinion.

Just out of curiosity though, is the pictured smallsword what you were planning on carrying? Its a pretty costume piece.
