Marie Antoinette Costume Ideas

About Marie Antoinette

Born in 1755, the young Archduchess of Austria went on to take Paris by storm when she married Louis XVI and the pair became King and Queen of France. Known for her fashionable style in a period known for its excess, Marie Antoinette's personal motto was "Let them eat cake!" The French people, living in poverty at the time while the upper class and royals flitted about merrily, didn't take too kindly to this laissez faire attitude and Marie Antoinette went to the guillotine along with many other royals during the French Revolution.

Dressing up as Marie Antoinette

The best part is, you don't have to earn a Queen's salary in order to afford a decadently beautiful Marie Antoinette costume to take you to the ball in style! Dress yourself in a regal, head-to-toe white Marie Antoinette costume, the favored hue of the period in ladies' and plus sizes. With long, lacy bell sleeves and made of a rich, panne velvet material with a pale pink inset and bows down the bodice and front, this dress is Parisian court splendor at its finest! Accessorize it with a delicate white fan made of either lace or feathers, Marie Antoinette shoes done in 1700s-style. Top it all off with an elaborately curled Marie Antoinette wig, perfect for losing your head at parties as you live it up!
