Well, let's not set off the Fantasia firestorm again. There's varying information on that topic from SE sources, both formal and informal. 
I will say that it's a very polarizing item and so I advise against its use in RP for that reason alone.
Regarding glamours, the All Saints' Wake events demonstrate that imps and evidently some other voidsent have the ability to glamour individuals. Such glamours have varying degrees of permanency, as explained in the 2015 All Saints' Wake quest line. Appearance cloaking of one's self is also available to Garleans through magitek (source: Costa del Sol leves) and to voidsent generally (source: tons of leves all over the place ). It stands to reason that there's probably some means of doing so through Eorzean magic, though such an approach never appears in the game that I'm aware of. In fact, when you're infiltrating a Castrum in the 2.0 MSQ, you wear an outfit instead of glamouring yourself, and if Yugiri could have glamoured herself, I imagine she probably would have instead of opting for the full body covering.
From a purely metaphysical perspective, glamours don't seem to have an effect on one's aether, but I'd argue we just don't have enough lore to make a statement in any direction in that regard. I suppose one could speculate that full-body glamours are like Invisibility in D&D or a rogue's Stealth, insofar as you really can't do anything other than move around without breaking the glamour.
