~~ The Marquise ~~

We regret the mulberry taffeta shown in this gown is no longer available. Please view our new selections of taffeta, satin and jacquards below

The reign of Louis XIV King of France  and French Renaissance was a rich and elaborate time period.  Ladies and gentlemen clothing was richly ornate with frills and satin bows. Everyone in the aristocrat circle wore  powdered wigs, and lots of lace.   The gowns were worn with a full corset so there was no boning in the actual gowns, hoop skirts known as a panniers were worn ( an elliptical hoopskirt which actually went side to side rather than round like the Elizabethan and modern styles)  My version of this allows for modern hoopskirt or traditional pocket hoops or  pannier.

Starting at just $499.
