To me, the costumes from Marie Antoinette look like worn confections come to life. 🍰🧁🍭

[@hindsightpov4218]

@@Costume_CO A little trivia: The (now defunct) brand Juicy Couture was heavily inspired by Marie Antoinette. They had an event in Manhattan some years ago at their main store on Fifth Avenue. The brand creators were there and had a lady dressed as Marie Antoinette that looked straight out of the movie. I happened to be walking by when I saw it. It was quite a sight.

This is one of the rare films about historical royals that I dont mind they deviated from facts. Its so unbelieveably beautiful to watch, I was enamored with the costumes, Versailles itself and the soundtrack. I will admit because it wasn't deemed a success so many haven't heard of it and I love watching it with newcomers.

And they get the IMPORTANT things right and still do not try to pose as historical accurate.

[@SAngel-jt3si]

Though the 1938 version of this movie was in black and white, you can tell that the costumes the women wore were absolutely gorgeous. Even the extras had amazing dresses. It was said the only reason it was shot in black and white is because they ran out of money due to the dresses and didn't have enough to make it in color.

[@garzapinups]

I was so disappointed to find that out when I was researching films years ago. To know that so much of the costumes, set designs etc were made in colors to pop on film only to be filmed in black and white.

[@doroparker1702]

Great video! Robings in 18th century gowns are pieces of fabric that are pleated along the stomacher all the way to the shoulders, sometimes being part of the skirt of the gown. They started in the 1690s with Mantua gowns and continued till about the 1750s when ruffled trim became really popular and started being placed on top of robings until the robings were completely removed.

I think my personal favorite outfits are between 51-61, love the muslin and chiffon. So soft and light, while not practical for those who did work outside in those days, I can see the appeal for such garments to at least enjoy the outdoors in something that was breathable.

[@Costume_CO]

I totally agree! Thanks for commenting Kate.

[@antoniobroccoliporto4774]

I’m glad you mentioned the colors that Marie spearheaded like the “Puce” flea said to simulate the bloodstain found on bedsheets from flea bites. She also developed funny named colours such as Caca d’Oie ( Goose poop green) and Caca Dauphin ( color of the young princes baby feces). This also affected the French Silk industry in that ever few weeks Marie would popularize a color and Silk Manufacturers had to speedily reproduce those colors because women of the Court were so fixed on following the Queen’s fashion trends they couldn’t keep up with Marie’s whims...the result? A color would be out of fashion within a week and then the stockpile would not be able to be sold but at a loss. Thanks...I thought you were quite thorough and I get how some outfits were more loose interpretations. PS very dark colours like Purples and Navy Blue besides Black and deep gray were common for mourning clothing. Purples almost as popular as black. Cheers from anther costume designer.

The costumes were the best part of the movie

[@FrenchLib]

Very interesting documentary, thank you. A remark, though: in the 18th century, all the nobles and educated bourgeois, all over Europe, were speaking French almost as proficiently as their own national language, thanks to hired French nannies and French preceptors, or simply because one of their parents was French. So, there was no language gap to bridge for Marie-Antoinette when she arrived at Versailles. Her father was even directly from French heritage, being the Duke of Lorraine. Actually, we have specific information on that aspect: contrary to what was expected, as a young teenager, Marie-Antoinette's command of French, Italian and Latin left much to be desired. Her main governess, who was held responsible for that, was fired and replaced with someone more competent. Later on, when the wedding project was sealed between the house of Austria and the house of France, the King of France Louis XV sent a special team to Vienna to shape Marie-Antoinette into something more presentable for the court of France, including language experts, but also teeth and hair experts! 😀 So, definitely, nothing was left to chance and Marie-Antoinette was fluent in French when she arrived at Versailles.
