I prefer the Victorian/Edwardian eras of dress, specifically the 1870s and 1880s. The corsets must have been icky, and with the petticoat, bustle etc. it wouldn't be very cool in the summer, bbut it's so elegant. They really dressed for the occassion back then.

Not a real dress of Marie-Antoinette, but still... It depicts the young Dauphine at the time she arrived at the French court.

Feathers!

Feathers were an integral part of the Royal wardrobe early last century.

A new blog, Royal Glitter has an interesting article on the subject (pic 1).
The site is in Dutch but can be translated (pic 2).

Look how surprisingly colourful a dress can be in real life...

Queen Juliana on Prinsjesdag 1968

The same dress in 2015, in colour...

Queen Juliana thought it was ugly that her Order would cross the nice beadwork, so she managed it so that the riband was worn under the beadwork with special buttons.

See the riband under the beadwork

A truly fantastic piece of art: a detail of a collar worn by Marguerite, Duchesse de Lorraine et Bar née De Gonzague (1591-1632). It is a detail of the painting by Franz Pourbus, the younger.
