"Let them eat cake" the most consequential misquote of history. Marie Antionette never made this arrogant suggestion, it was her aunt that said it. Also, it was very good advice. The original suggestion: when all the cheap bread was sold out the bakeries should sell the starving peasant cake for the same price as the bread. Not a bad idea, if you ask us.
That being said, Marie Antionette did have a pretty intense love for the finer things in life. Let's just say, she had a hard time sticking to the budget. But consider this, she was escorted to France with fifty-seven carriages, one hundred seventeen footmen, and three hundred horses at the impressionable age of fourteen, the example of extravagance was set immediately. So, she thought nothing of using yards of silks per gown and building up her large extravagant wigs to suit each occasion. Her famous ship wig? It was built to celebrate a French naval victory. In a way, Marie's wigs were kind of like Tweets. The newspapers weren't going to report what she said but they would report on what she wore!
Marie may not have been a favorite of French peasants but she certainly changed fashion forever. Look at us! We're still dressing like her! You won't have to worry about losing your head when you don this gorgeous ensemble. This gown is lush with a blue silky material and pale mint green ruffles at the sleeves and down the front. Top it off with a gorgeous iconic white wig and you'll be ready for your debut at Versailles. When you look this good you can have your cake and eat it too!

- Beautiful for a Peggy Shippen Arnold Reenactment!By Anonymous | September 20, 2018
I ordered this historic reproduction gown for a reenactment of Peggy Shippen Arnold. Some people/actors call reenactments First person interpretations, but whatever you term them they are growing in popularity. Memorized completely and mobile, the reenactor must be able to move around, so I tucked up the sides of my gown and it looked super great - This is an absolutely beautiful historic reproduction gown! You will love it --- I loved the choker as well - It's quality is wonderful for the price!! Order it ---- you'll be happy!Was this review helpful to you? - Just BeautifulBy Francophile | November 1, 2023
This is a beautiful, high-quality costume. The level of detail is remarkable. The embroidered bodice and the stand-up ribbon trim is really lovely. The way the trim on the bell sleeves matches the ruffles on the under skirt really brings the costume together.
Do pay attention to the dimensions rather than the size. I usually wear a size 12 or a medium, but I had to order an extra large. It was a very snug fit in the midsection. Although the petticoat and the underskirt each have an elastic waist, the dress itself fastens with a back zipper. The fabric has no stretch in it at all.
As long as you order the correct size and can get that zipper up, you will be fine.
I loved wearing this beautiful costume.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?Monster Responds...We're so glad you loved our Marie Antoinette Women's Costume!
