Lovely way to spend an afternoon at Versailles
Everything looks so pretty in the sunshine
An afternoon spent choosing dress designs, fabrics, ribbons
Lush dress designs remind Marie Antoinette of fluffy peonies
Join in on the fun with Rose and La Reine
Soft colors and glints of silver and gold 
Opera glasses are a must for court ladies
Jewelry, a new fan, key to the jewel chest, little trinket boxes
An idea for a dress- very fashion forward of Marie Antoinette
Hat boxes hold trims and ribbons
Marie loved flowers especially roses here are peonies on her plate
French bon bons and roses ---so MA
Time slips by so quickly for Marie Antoinette and Rose Bertin 
Little details- la Reine loved jewelry and pretty trinkets Marie meets with Rose Bertin her dress

My interpretation of a table that might have existed at Petit Trianon when Marie Antoinette met with her dressmaker Rose Bertin. We always think of roses and Marie Antoinette so how perfect to put the table outside among the pink roses.
I've gathered some fun things that remind me of MA and she would, bien sur, have sweets !

What a royal treat it must have been to have a talented fashion forward dressmaker at your disposal and she even came to the queen!
Not many fashion designers in our time would go to the client's home. I like to think it was the royal allure and the cache of visiting Versailles or Petit Trianon. I have read that Rose Bertin became quite weathy and arrogant due to her association with la Reine, Marie Antoinette. She also left the country and saved her own life during the Revolution.
