Like many others, I became fascinated with ill-fated Marie Antoinette when the movie came out four years ago. The combination of the saturated pastel colors, rich fabrics, and over the top decor of Versailles grabbed my attention and hasn't let go since. I figured I'd get away from 20th century style icons for a change and use Marie- the movie character and actual person- as inspiration for this post. Note the similarities between some of her portrait gowns and movie costumes!
