Fashion in Marie-Antoinette’s time is in full evolution. While the basket dress remained the official dress worn at the court, simpler dresses appeared, especially on the eve of the Revolution. New names appear as Polish dress, English dress and Gaulle dress, reflecting the desire for change. The male costume follows the same trend: The French dress remains the dress of ceremony but the English fashion shows the frock coat or the English Levite.
