We don't see your head. Quite fitting for the French Revolution. XD

Huh, were they inspired by the Greeks then? Beautiful outfit and it’s giving me definite ideas about making a set of undergarments like those!

[JustSaralius]

So stunning! Love this era and that yellow is magnificent!

[bangtanbell]

There was also pants n hats for the labour members of Jacobin clubs during the revolution

The yellow over gown is very interesting but so very pretty

[heatherhammerquist]

That is seriously the cutest little rump pad.

There was a heavy emphasis on styles that relate to being virtuous/simple/white, “Greek, ” and less decadent. The wives of artists donated their jewels and stripped down to the simplest whites, all to show their alliance.
They’d do anything to display opposition to the people’s of the republic who wore jewels and layers of the most expensive textiles! Fashion changed drastically during the French Revolution(s)! ✨🖤 great post :) ty!

This is one of my favorite periods of dress. All the gowns in "Immortal Beloved" make me 😍🤤

Wow, wow, wow, incredibly beautiful!

Love watching Nicole's videos. There is educational and I've learned so much.

Eh close to what they would wear but to them back then this would just be a under dress, and crazy to think they had heels back then nicely designed

[k-de]

might act up and overthrow the monarchy later

[purple_rose]

Ah yes, the good old French Revolution. Boy do I wish I was there right now

[Attackontrashcan]

I feel like it'd missing something


Like a basket full of heads mabey?

[Bouh]

That’s more 1st empire than French Revolution 😅

[eleatodescato]

I think your outfit is more accurate for right after the Revolution

[ahmetkemalgurel]

what a cute little tiny bustle pad is that

[berserk]

Robe ala Francaise would have been more appropriate. This looks like it's from well after the revolution

[johnvonundzu]

Very nice! But the music of France in those days tended to be in the excited/violent range - Mozartean sweetness was out.

Well I suppose it's time to get gussied up for the revolution.
