The paradox of her tragic story, according to Weber, is that fashion - the vehicle she used to secure her triumphs - was also the means of her undoing. Webers queen is sublime, human, and surprising: a sometimes courageous monarch unwilling to allow others to determine her destiny. Gradually, however, she began to lose her hold on the French when she started to adopt 'unqueenly' outfits (the provocative chemise) that, surprisingly, would be adopted by the revolutionaries who executed her. As queen, Marie Antoinette used stunning, often extreme costumes to project an image of power and wage war against her enemies.

Weber surveys Marie Antoinettes 'Revolution in Dress,' covering each phase of the queens tumultuous life, beginning with the young girl, struggling to survive Versailless rigid traditions of royal glamour (twelve-foot-wide hoopskirts, whalebone corsets that crushed her organs). In Queen of Fashion, Caroline Weber shows how Marie Antoinette developed her reputation for fashionable excess, and explains through lively, illuminating new research the political controversies that her clothing provoked. Marie Antoinette has always stood as an icon of supreme style, but surprisingly none of her biographers have paid sustained attention to her clothes.
