Indeed. Thank you for watching.
What about the Charles Frederick Worth?

After reading many many things about Marie Antoinette I have came to the conclusion that she really wasn't at all like she is portrayed I feel very sorry for her in a lot of ways she wasn't the bad person she's made out to be I don't believe it I just don't! She was young and arrogant you know but she went through hardships before she ever became the queen and it just she just wasn't near as bad as people make her out to be it's all there is to it!
I agree. Thank you for watching.
Reports weren't that she wasn't arrogant at all. A silly 14 year old girl with an unlimited fashion budget trying to fit into a superficial court. France was bankrupt from the father in laws spending and she was the scapegoat
So interesting to learn more about those close to royalty. Thank you for highlighting this interesting designer/seamstress and business woman.
Thank you for watching, Ann.
Would be fascinating to see a movie, or even better a miniseries, of her life. How interesting it must have been!
Yes, it would be nice. Thank you for watching.
I would love to see that!!!
How she managed to avoid getting executed during the reign of terror...now that is surprising. That must've been very traumatic to witness.
Rose did well to survive those dangerous times a very resourceful lady another great story thank you
Mr Dudley the people want to know...did you or Queen Liz have a hand in the events with your wife on the stairs? 🤣❤✌
@@mdstanton1813 now I couldn't possibly say the honour of a lady is at stake 😊👍
@@robertdudley4017 I think we understand each other. Your puffy doublet can only hold those secrets for so long
@@mdstanton1813 indeed my lady you maybe right 😊
Can I just say? I like the dialogue between you two.
Thank you for letting us know about her. So she is person behind gorgeous gowns wore by Marie Antoinette, and partially responsible for unnecessary extravaganza queen was accused of. We can see she was a great designer making her fortune from her royal clients. It's really heart breaking how she made the last gown black for mourning worn by the queen in last days. Tragic how the time changed for Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI.
Well said, Ambreen. I'm glad you liked this video. Rose was an interesting figure of Marie Antoinette's circle of favourites. Thank you for watching.
I always loved those dresses... skinny jeans may leave the chat.
Skinny jeans left my chat ages ago, girlfriend 🤣
No one makes videos like this, so whenever you post a video, we learn something new. Lovely video.
So kind of you to say that. Thank you.
For some reason TH-cam doesn’t allowed me to hit the “LIKE” button. Thank you so much for the wonderful story!! 🙌🙌🙌
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching.
I love the fashion of the past but I know I would never have lasted living in the era of the those wonderful clothes which I love so much..
You are right, Melinda. I agree with you. Thank you for watching and for subscribing.
You could create your own ensemble as a Recreations Artist.
I worry more about cleanliness and toilets lol
My dad has done civil war and other living histories for almost my entire life. The dresses I got to wear were nowhere as extravagant as these, but so fun to wear ☺️
Hello, your videos are absolutely wonderful. Beautiful narrated with images and full of fascinating information.
I am so thrilled that these are in English. I have been longing for the subjects you cover to be able to understand.
Thank you so much for making these fabulous videos.
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching.
Why does history seem cooler now than current living life?
One likes to escape from reality, perhaps.
I just discovered your channel, you have a new subscriber with me! You do your research, you include historic artwork, your voice is calming. Thank you!
Thank you and welcome.
I love your videos! Especially anything to do with Marie Antoinette 💜💜💜
Glad you like them!
Thanks for this wonderful series.
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Wow!! A French aristocrat who escaped the guillotine!! She was one smart woman in many ways. A true rags to riches girl , glad she survived 💖💖
Bertin was a survivor.
Absolutely.
This was fantastic!
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching.
💘 her talent and style. Very gifted.
Great story. I love the dresses Rose made for the queen. They were gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you - I'm glad you like it.
Rose Bertin should get the great honor of having an exhibition in Paris.
I second that!
Always enticing and quite fascinating. Looking forward to new conte9, ALWAYS!

I enjoyed this story so much thank you
Wonderful! I'm really glad.
Love your videos 🙂😍
Thank you for watching, Amy.
Are there examples of her work anywhere?
There must be, she created for many ladies in Europe of that time. Maybe in fashion design textbooks. Thank you for watching.
fascinating.
Another interesting subject would be the artist Elisabeth Vigee LeBrun. (I hope I'm not annoying you with all these suggestions!)
Your suggestions are very welcome. Clearly, you know a lot about different times/people in history. Thank you for watching, as always.
I was going to suggest this artist too! She had a very interesting life.👍🏻
There's also "Countess" de la Motte, responsible for the 1780s Diamond Necklace scandal.
Well, at least France knows where their money went. Half of countrys money went to the palace of Versailles and a good bit went to Rose Bertin
Le pouf was created by the Queen's hairdresser Leonard Autie not by Rose Bertin
I doubt recall her saying the hair was done by Rose...I thought I heard her say Rose and the hairstylist (who I don't recall her naming) worked together to design the hairstyles to go with the bonnets
The dresses were lovely but some of those hats were ridiculous!
Rose Bertin and The Queen made France the center of fashion but the English, Charles Worth started the idea of Haute Couture in France.

I love your videos of bold, successful women.
Thank you :)
@@livesandhistories you're welcome.
Is actually not true. Rose Bertin was a modiste and could arrange the dresses but not make them. She could provide all accessorises, bows, rubons, hats etc.
why did she named her shop Le Grand Mogol ?
i want to retire to my country house
Would she really have been in any real risk of arrest or execution? She was a commoner and a woman, and therefore excluded from politics.
During the Revolution, when Bertin travelled abroad, it was speculated that she did so in order to get in touch with the queen’s relatives and deliver her messages. For this reason, Bertin’s absence from France was deemed suspicious by the Revolutionary regime - not a risk-free situation for Bertin.
@@livesandhistories ah, ok. So would have been a case of wanting to kill the messenger. I guess it shows how out of touch those were in the bubble or Versailles! But I do commend her for putting herself at risk in the hopes of aiding her client. No matter what you think about the Ancient Regime it shows a commitment from Rose
@@hepsabaptron00 Very well said!
Coco Chanel in her previous life.
