Marie Antoinette Wigs

Marie Antoinette wig for French Revolutionary costuming. Marie Antoinette wigs and costume accessories make Bastille Day celebrations complete. A controversial Queen, Marie Antoinette is a costume delight. Marie Antoinette wig is instrumental when costuming for this favorite French theme. Endeared and despised, Marie Antoinette and her hairstyle became a part of the French Revolutions crescendo. Marie Antoinette is perhaps best remembered for her legendary excesses, and for her death. Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen, born Nov. 2, 1755 and died Oct. 16, 1793. Born an Archduchess of Austria, and later becoming Queen of France and Navarre. She was married to Louis XVI of France at age 14, and was the mother of "lost Dauphin" Louis XVII. Even during her life, she was both a popular icon of goodness and a symbol of everything wrong with the French monarchy, the latter being a view that has persisted to this day far stronger than the former. However, there are some that would argue that the common historical perspective on Marie Antoinette is that she was yet another tragic victim of the radicalism of the Revolution, rather than a great symbol of French royal inadequacies. This view tends to sympathize with the plight of Marie Antoinette and her family and focus more on the documentation surrounding the last months, weeks, and days prior to her execution, where she is more clearly seen as Marie Antoinette the penitent, caring French mother rather than the defiant Queen of France. She was executed by guillotine at the height of the French Revolution in 1793, for the crime of treason. Marie Antoinette wigs for French royalty costume balls. Transcending to a time of revolts in the streets and the down fall of monarchies costuming ideas for all budgets and French themes.
