Hi everyone,I am so excited about this post! My search for portraits from Marie Antoinette's time has been a success. Lovely royal ladies in lavish and sumptuous gowns. There is one issue that needs to be addressed. It is those panniers! Really ladies.Imagine a party with all those fancy gowns. Do they bump into each other? Think of how much maneuvering a group of 4 or 5 conversing together would require! Huge Victorian bustles are also a perplexing fashion trend.
Have a happy and creative day!
Love, Louise
I love this one. She looks so serene.

The two paintings above are large enough for framing. Looks like the same dress.
The two illustrations below came form a book titled "The Well Dressed Woman".
A quick note, there are three new peacock pictures on the 9-26-12 post.
