Question: So im gonna be Marie Antoinette??!!??!!?
Okay, So ive gotten the costume part to be Marie Antoinette for Halloween this year...Now im having trouble with the accsesories. I know im gonna need a wig, shoes, and stockings...what else could i get to make it "Marie" . I want people to know who i am, not have to ask.
Answer: How about the crown? Madam Pompadour wig? Nice earrings? Scepter? I don't know if they'll recognize you as Marie Antoinette, but you'll certainly be a queen! ...With that regal wardrobe/ attire! If I could, I'd go as that king who bought new clothes/ apparel which turned out to be non-existent! The only thing I'd then be worried about is seeing a pretty girl on the way! Do I mean "pretty girl" or "party girl"? Have a fun and safe Allhallows Eve! P.S. And don't lose your mom's jewels! You can carry a paper bag of crumbs for the peasants, and print CRUMBS FOR THE PEASANTS on one side and LET THEM EAT CAKE on the other side of the bag...I think people will get the message when you'll show them the bag!

Question: How to make a marie antoinette tricorn hat?
I really need help. I want to make a marie antoinette style tricorn hat to go with my costume. But I'm not sure how. Any how-to's? Or instructions?
Answer: The tricorn hat is just a plain broad-brimmed hat with the brim bent up to the crown. If you can get such a hat in felt, just tinker at bending the brim - first try three equilateral bends; then try folding up the back with two smaller left-front and right-front folds; until you get an effect you like. You can fix the hat either with felt stiffener or simply by stitching the brim to the crown.
If you can't get or can't afford a real felt hat, cut out a big circle of black card or cartridge paper to experiment with the "cocking" of the hat brim. Once you have got it the way you want it, at a pinch you can make a crown with a piece of black fabric.
An 18th-century tricorn hat would have had a cockade over the left eye, made out of a piece of ribbon pleated tightly into a circle - that's easily done. There might be a gilt button or (for a lady) a brooch right in the middle of the cockade, and for a lady there might be a plume of ostrich feathers fixed behind it.
