Fun fact.
In reality, many of the real corsets created today by professional corsetieres have not changed much when compared to traditional corsets. It also depends on the style of corset and whether it is for waist reduction or merely for fashion.
That being said, I would not have guessed this is Marie Antoinette. What she is wearing looks like a simple Victorian over bust with a sweetheart neckline. Marie Antoinette actually wore what was called "grand corps" corset which actually is much more rigid and restrictive with shoulder straps and a conical shape. She nearly caused an international in refusing to wear it but was forced into wearing one eventually.
OTHER THAN my little rant about corsets, it's a really gorgeous piece of art. I just have issues with the accuracy.
I agree, the Queen would have had the best corsetieres in France catering for her. Still, she must have been incredibly uncomfortable. She was an interesting woman, definately.
But just a small note: I think they still used the different, older style of corset (or stays, as they were called then) when Marie Antoinette was the Queen.
But, I still love this ;D
So incredibly beautiful!!!
