We needed to disguise ourselves
After that I rejected any party in which I needed to disguise myself.
Hi,
Does the above sound good and right? Is it about the same to say "After ... I needed to wear a mask?" Thanks.

I am still not clear on what a 'dressing party' is, but I don't think they are actually wearing costumes and masks. I suspect that they are just dressing up like models or rich people — they are 'disguising' themselves as richer, more sophisticated, or more fashionable than they really are.

I would use the relative pronoun "where" rather than "in which". Just sounds better to me.
Cheers.

Thanks, Mister and CC.
The dressing party was what my student wrote to mean "masquerade," I suppose.
