Costume Commentary
…Did ladies wear wristwatches in Marie Antoinette’s time…?
What makes you so certain it’s a wristwatch? 🙂
It’s a bracelet, not a wrist watch.
I’ve seen the dress in this picture it’s pretty
This is awesome, thank you!
You’re welcome!
i noticed this gown has the same embriodery and is the same colour as a dress used as a prop in marie antoinette “La Veritable Histoire” in a scene where rose bertin is showing marie antoinette different dresses.You see itVERY briefly though and you have to pause. its here on youtube

Yes, it was very well done, with great experts. Enjoyed hearing/seeing Antonia Fraser and Simon Schama.
Did you enjoy the documentary?
Interesting! Thank you! I had not taken the time to notice that!
I finally got to see the Grubin documentary yesterday. It wouldn’t surprise me if the person wearing the costume is a keyboardist, as the fingering was well-synched with the harpsichord music heard in that segment.
Wow, that embroidery looks so familiar!
