None of them survived the revolution. Some were burned, others were stolen, some were sold, ripped etc.
The only thing that survived the revolution was one of her shoes (it is actually not proven to be hers, but a lot of eye witnesses claim that it is her shoe. She is said to have lost it on her way to the scaffold).
Day Wear
- she would wear no knickers
- a corset or stay
- a chemise (a simple dress)
- lace stockings
- a pummel to shape the dress (like a mini cage but more out to the sides)
- a dress VERY EXPENSIVE!
- shoes like slippers
- hat (not always)
- choker (not always)
Night wear
- a frilly nightie
It certainly did, and it still has a huge impact on today's fashion.
Christian Louboutin designed shoes in her honour, Karl Lagerfeld designed a whole collection of Chanel to her, John Galliano made her his muse, The perfumer Francis Kurkdjian dedicated a perfume in her honour, and so on, and so on...
If you watched Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, you know that the late Queen liked to be surrounded by pyramids of gorgeous pastries and followed a macaroon-and-champagne diet. Or did she?Well, according to contemporary accounts, not at all. The etiquette required the King and Queen to take some of their meals in public, in front of the courtiers and visitors. Anyone decently dressed was admitted in Versailles, and many came to the Palace to watch the royal couple eat.The Marquise de La Tour du Pin, who was a lady-in-waiting to Marie-Antoinette, attended those occasions. She notes in her Memoirs that "the King ate with a hearty appetite, but the Queen did not remove her gloves, nor did she unfold her napkin, in which she was very ill-advised."Marie-Antoinette literally did not touch her food. This attitude was construed as a mark of contempt for the assembly. The Queen thus unwittingly reinforced her image as a distant, haughty woman.But those were the meals she took - or rather did not take - in public. Did Marie-Antoinette enjoy food in a more private setting? Let us listen to what Madame Campan, her First Chambermaid, says in this regard:"[Marie-Antoinette] usually ate nothing but roast or boiled poultry and drank nothing but water. The only things of which she was particularly fond were her morning coffee and a sort of bread to which she had grown accustomed during her childhood in Vienna."So Marie-Antoinette, for breakfast, her most intimate, pleasurable food moment, preferred coffee. And what is Madame Campan referring to when she speaks of that sort of bread? Well, croissants, of course!Croissants were first made by a the bakers of Vienna to celebrate a victory against the Turkish armies that had been besieging the city. Some say that a baker, up by necessity in the middle of the night, sounded the alarm when he heard the military preparations for the attack, but this story is not attested. What is sure is that the croissant recalled the crescent, symbol of Islam, featured on the Turkish flags. The new crescent-shaped bread became immediately popular in Vienna.It is only natural that, when Marie-Antoinette arrived n Versailles as a bride of fourteen, she came to consider the croissants of her childhood as what we would call "comfort food." The fashion spread and croissants became popular in France as well. To this day, in French bakeries, croissants and similar products are called to this day viennoiseries, or Viennese breads.

They were put to bed by the entire court. The bed was blessed by a priest and everyone expected Louis XVI to make Marie Antoinette his wife (to consummate the marriage). He didn't though and it would take him up to 7 years until he did.
Because Louis XVI had a certain problem. The foreskin of his penis was too tight, so erousel and actual intercourse was impossible and very painfull. For years his doctors and Marie Antoinette almost begged him to have it fixed by a small operation (circumcision) but he didn't want to because he was afraid of the operation. Finally, after 7 years, the circumcision was done and the marriage was consumated (Marie Antoinette's brother Leopold had a very firm talk to Louis XVI once he was visiting Versailles and that was exactly what Louis XVI needed to face his fears and have the operation take place). 1 year later, Marie Antoinette would be pregnant of their first child.

Because of her innovative sense of fashion, and taste in interior designs, because of her beauty and the fact that she was very outspoken and unruly. Fot the time that she lived in, she was really ahead of her time in a lot of ways, in her fashions and her way of thinking. A queen was proposed to not get in the way of polictics, spend her day knitting and give birth to heirs to the throne. Marie Antoinette spend her days quite different and made a Queen someone to take into account. France was not ready for a modern woman like her.
The French monarchy was executed because of their apparent lack of concern for its people reflected by the lavish lifestyles of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The peasants revolted against their monarchs to take control of France.
She was most definitely not a criminal. She was a princess of the blood and Marie Antoinette's closest (and only true loyal) friend. That is why she was arrested and thrown into prison when she came back from the UK (where she had fled to during the revolution). She knew she ran the risk off getting arrested, but she was horrified by the thought that her dear friend (Marie Antoinette) was locked in a prison and treated badly. She wanted to stand by her, and when she received a ring from Marie Antoinette which captured a lock of her white hair and had the inscription: "whitened by sorrow", she came back to France. She was killed purely because of the fact that they wanted to hurt the Queen and decided to take away everything from her that was dear to her. First her home, then her friends, her throne, her family and eventually her life.

Of course she knew. The major event, The Fall of the Bastille, was definitely known to her but how could she know what was to come when there had always been a monarch in France? She probably didn't take it very seriously and by the time she did, it was too late.
