A La Reine Blouse
ABOUT
This blouse is inspired by an infamous portrait of Marie Antoinette of France, painted by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, which appeared in a short-lived exhibition in the Musée du Louvre in 1783. The queen’s depiction in a gossamer shift (what would have then been akin to her nightgown) shocked the public, and the painting was removed shortly after its debut. Today we know this style as the “chemise à la reine.”
Happy stitching!
