Versailles Virtues
Life as a king in the late 1700s was a social one. In fact, kings were almost never left alone. From the moment Louis XVI woke up in the morning, he was surrounded by servants, advisors, and top guys from his various councils. And yes, luxurious royal activities abounded. He had to get his wig powdered and shaped. He went hunting with the boys. He entertained dignitaries in the hall of mirrors (we'll give you one guess what the walls of that hall are decorated with). Our point? The royal guy was super busy! With all the little details he needed to cover to keep his royal household happy, it's no wonder he lost track of what his subjects wanted!
Details & Design
This luxurious costume is Made by Us, meaning the king's top looks have been researched by our in-house designers. The high-waisted short pants, the long jacket, and the waistcoat all have a Rococo-inspired trim, making it look right at home in the over-the-top trappings of Versailles. You'll love the little details from the buttons to the lightweight cravat. Just be sure you avoid any swarms of angry French peasants.
Heads Up
Louis's reign might not have been a popular one, he's the only king that literally lost his head in the end. But we like to think that his ungraceful exit from the throne room was a symptom of the times rather than a personal hit at this fashionable king. If it hadn't been for the expensive wars, the uncomfortable wigs everyone was wearing, and the fact that the peasants wanted freedom and access to food, Louis probably would have been fine! How can you stay mad at a man wearing gold filigree trimmed short pants? Whether you're heading out with Marie Antoinette on your arm or you're making your royal debut solo, this costume will allow you to start Louis's reign fresh!

- Four StarsBy Current Customer | November 18, 2018We came first place in a costume contest wearing these. They are amazingly beautiful for the price. The pant seam did splint the second time I wore it, but again, for this price it served me well!Was this review helpful to you?

- MehBy brian schneider | May 16, 2022Height 5 7” | Weight 195” | Size X-LargeThe costume looks as advertised. Plan on standing like the model. I had the misfortune of any movement and the costume tore at multiple seams…most notably the lateral seams on both pant legs and the middle seam of the back of the jacket. The movements were natural in nature…squatting down to pick up dropped car keys.Was this review helpful to you?
- Excellent overall experience. Highly Recommended.By Jeremy K | March 18, 2022Height 6ft. | Weight 171 lbs. | Size LargeAlthough I experienced a technological hiccup during the checkout process when my digital coupon wasn't applied as designed, "Jess" stayed with me via text to see me through the defect. I was eventually able to apply the auto-discount and process payment correctly. My order came within 6 days following my order and I couldn't be happier. The Casanova / French Court Dandy (Men's Louis XVI Costume is quite dapper. The faux satin is brilliant, though thin, and very polished. I plan to wear this for a photo shoot and can't wait to finally wear it with my aristocratic accessories. Overall, the shipping, the costume, and the customer service of this small business have knocked it out of the park with this happy patron. Highly recommended.Was this review helpful to you?Vote Yes on the review titled Excellent overall experience. Highly Recommended. Yes (0) Vote No on the review titled Excellent overall experience.

- One StarBy Laura | October 19, 2021Bought this for my husband hoping it would work. Sadly, it is so cheap, poorly made and so thin you can see right thru the fabric.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?

- Poor qualityBy Anonymous | October 17, 2021Size X-LargeThis costume was really flimsy for the price. The entire thing was see through, and the pants came split down the middle. I tried to fix them and then they split down the sides too. I can't imagine they would have held up to anyone actually wearing them or walking in them.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?
