A period costume is
one that captures the ambience of a particular era or period in history.
This particular
"period fancy dress costume" is typical of the 18th Century (the Century Of
Enlightenment), particularly from 1750 onwards. At that time fashion in
Europe and North America started to involve elaborate and intricate clothing
design, and big, extreme hair styles. The trends were influence by the
Rococo (or Late Baroque) artistic movement - originating more often than not
from France, and worn by such icons as Marie Antoinette - famous for saying
"Let them eat cake" when told that the poor had no bread to eat.
This Madame
Marie fancy dress costume includes such Rococo intricacy in it's design and
is ideal as a period or historical fancy dress costume, or as just a
slightly revealing and sexy fun fancy dress outfit for ladies.
