Summary
It’s so amazing that Madame Élisabeth’s ‘gazette’ that she used to select clothes in the summer of 1792 still exists. Madame Élisabeth would use this book to choose her outfits for the day by placing a pin next to the relevant fabric. This fascinating document reveals a lot about the princess’ taste in clothes and shows that she loved stripes, ‘ikat’ style patterns and deep colours. It also serves as a reminder that Élisabeth was still a young woman in the summer of 1792 (she turned twenty eight in May of that year) and still enjoyed a healthy interest in fashion.
