This weekend I started reading Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution. It only took a couple of pages for this book to draw me in! It's marvellously well-written and I am enthralled with Marie Antoinette and the life of the French court of Louis XV and XVI. While we talk about making "a fashion statement," today - it's clear that modern American fashion decisions are not a matter of life and death! We may imitate Michelle Obama's sweater sets and boost the bottom line for J. Crew, but first-lady fashion in the Bourbon Court was another slice of cake altogether (sorry, I couldn't resist!).
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I am. I'm going to get on the web & see if I can find additional information and will post links with my next post.
