If you were a dancer and Marie Antoinette wanted you to preform, what would you wear? An appropriate costume for a royal presentation must be carefully considered. These fabulous antique theater costumes would be perfect! Fit for dancing for a queen and finding their way into one of your projects.
Welcome to the many new followers! It feels so good to have something new for everyone.
Much love to you all, Louise

Aren't they just gorgeous, but can you imagine actually wearing something as huge as that? Hmm, not sure. But on the other hand, one would get to fondle acres of gorgeous silks and velvets, and miles of the most delicious lace. I think that might just make up for having to go through doorways sideways and having terrible trouble sitting down.
That is so funny and so true. I agree about the fabrics. Wonder if anyone actually sewed any of them?.
They are enchanting!!!!
So very sweet and feminine!
thank you!
I think I will make some note cards!!!
What charming images! Will you look at the waists on the dancers?!? My *calves* are bigger than that!! xoxo
Beautiful!
