You should read them all! The ones I like best are all in the second half of the series - Brothers in Arms, Mirror Dance, Memory, Komarr and A Civil Campaign, and of those, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite. (Except that Memory and ACC totally are, because they are awesome and - well, you'll see when you get there. (And then there is The Curse of Chalion! And its sequels!) Plus, if you get through them by November, there will be a new book released, centreing on Ivan, Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. I am, however, saving LMB's other fantasy/romance series for a rainy day, or a long train journey. Like you, I don't want it all to be over.
Hmm, didn't they both dress as maids to get in to the Residence? Maybe Ezar just liked to have his maids looking really snazzy? Or maybe Cordelia is dressed like a Vor and Drou took one of Kareen's boleros because she was feeling cold.
I've looked up the passage: "Droushnakovi shook out clean dresses, suitable for senior Residence womenservants too superior for menial's uniforms; the girl had worn them for just such service." But I think the artist is correct, wither way,whether he has this bit in mind or just going for Rule of Vor Cool in his costumes, because, yay costume porn. (Speaking of, I have just been browsing the Asexual Porn (http://asexualporn.tumblr.com/) tumblr. So many pretty pictures of food and cloths and books!)
