Marie Antoinette Glass

Question: Martini glass?

Is it true that the martini glass was designed by order of Louis the Vll, to honor the size and shape of Marie Antoinettes’s breasts?

Answer: Urban legend – and the original legend was that champagne glasses were based on her breasts (also untrue). It’s also been said about Napoleon’s wife and Helen of Troy.

Marie Antoinette Pink Costume

Question: I’m looking for a NICE Marie Antoinette style dress…?

So far all I’ve been able to find are super slutty ones such as this:

And really tacky ones like this:

Unfortunately I can’t sew and I’ve already checked a few thrift shops. So, can anyone tell me where I can find a nice one online? Perhaps from a historical replica site or something (not something like party city or walmart). If you say ebay, then send me an exact link please. Also, if it were under $200 that would be great! Sorry I’m being so picky.. but it’s for my 18th birthday party!

Or does anyone know of any good costume rental stores in the los angeles area?

10 pts for the most helpful answer!! Thanks

Answer: Well my best advice is that you buy them from a costume shop (it's almost Halloween, so these shops are open almost everywhere). Although the pictures for the costumes look pretty trashy, I recommend you go and try some on anyways (maybe they're not too short on you, or you can buy a few sizes bigger and have it altered or fit you)
