A.R.T.'s latest piece, co-produced with Yale Repertory Theatre, delves into the pastel colored world of Marie Antoinette. With their fantastical costumes, wigs, and set design, the production brings to life the young queen and her world of lavish indulgences.

Of course, no representation of Marie Antoinette would be complete without the proper silhouette given to her shape by the correct under garments. Period Corsets®  created several full panniers and a special custom, extra wide pannier for an extreme dramatic effect.

Marie Antoinette by playwright David Adjmi was part of American Repertory Theatre's 2012 Fall  Season. Since then the play went Off-Broadway but Marie's wardrobe was left behind as a memory of her collegiate days.
