France was on the verge on bankruptcy (and actually did file for bankruptcy) and the French people, who had never trusted an Austrian woman as their Queen, blamed her, nicknaming her Madame Deficit. It was true that she spent money on dresses and her Petit Trianon and Hameau, but not nearly as much as all the queens before her had done. The Old Regime meant that the Aristocracy and especially the Royals lived a life of luxury and the bourgeoisie had to work hard to cope. That was just the way it had been for ages in Europe in the royal families all over the world.
