Ah, this is a 'Josephine" I had not yet come across; must add it to my
summer reading list.

Subject: RE: [h-cost] What Q. Marie A. wore to the Revolution
I've not read this one, but just finished reading "The Rose of Martinique"
http://tinyurl.com/2ppcjp, a biography of Josephine Bonaparte. There are
some interesting anecdotal notes about fashion through the revolution into
the directorial period, empire etc. I was not aware until I had read this
that Josephine lived through and survived the revolution (she was in jail
for almost for months). It talks about M.A. and Josephine's impact on
fashion and some of the "buy French" in that time. Apparently Napoleon
would
have little fits if he knew J. and her daughter were wearing muslin. He
would tear their dresses while on them!
What a creep!
