Hi,
I believe i read somewhere that Marie Antoinette, replaced all her
maids of honnour with young and pretty ladys same age as herself,
and skipped the oldfashioned and ugly famillies from her court. Many
of the old an honnourable famillies was shocked and angry about
this, but she really did.
Now i dont know if those young new ladies were anorexic, but you are
right about it looked a little monotone in the movie.
Marie Antoinette herself were not anorexic looking at all, she had a
litttle chubby look herself.
For those of you who really would like to read a book about her, i
warmly recomend to read Stefan Zweigs book "Marie Antoinette" I dont
think any have ever got that close to the past as he did with this.
Bjarne who often wished he could have ben a fly in her dressing room.
There is a supposed bodice of hers in Corsets and Crinolines or Cut
of Women's Clothes - too lazy to go and check. And if it really was
hers, anorexic she wasn't - well developed is more a phrase I would
have used, or Noel Coward's very telling "She's a "Big" girl"!
