Product Story

What Marie Antoinette Wore to Bed.

Marie-Antoinette is the one who said: “If they don’t have bread, let them eat cake.”

She herself had cake... but wanted bread.

People want what they haven’t got. Especially when they have Everything.

She had everything. Her father was Emperor. Her husband was King. She was Queen.

But Versailles suffocated her. She hated the acres of ormolu, miles of mirrors, armies of flatterers. She yearned for something else; she yearned for innocence.

She almost got it; built another world for herself. Off in the woods, far from Versailles, she created a tiny hamlet of farms, cowsheds, private apartments with thatched roofs, dairies, vegetable gardens, a ballroom in the form of a barn; a little gleaming river, even a secluded meadow.

Few were ever invited to see it.

But it was a sensation. Overnight, the aristocracy would have given anything for the privilege of... milking a cow. Or any other favors. This simple nightshirt epitomizes Marie-Antoinette’s dream of innocence.

Mine are so old and so soft. I have three and wear one almost every night. Expensive but after 12...

I just need one more for the next 12 years! In yellow or blue

My Favorite Nightgown !

I discovered these Marie Antoinette’ night shirts 8-10 years ago. I love them because they are a good weight for sleeping, not too hot, and very comfortable to sleep in. They do not get twisted around you when you sleep and they breathe. I always have 3-4 and they get softer with washing. They last me typically couple of years before wearing out. My only complaint is that they always seem to be sold out in mediums and I have to keep checking to see if they have come in. Right now , only white is available in medium which I have. I would also add although white, the white nightgown is not see through. All other colors are not that accurate to the illustrated sketches, but it is not that important to me. It is the only nightgown I will wear in the winter. Mine are in constant rotation and unlike previous review, they never would last 12 years. They are similar to a nice cotton sheet that with washing , becomes softer and will eventually tear. Worth every penny to me!
