The gown simply goes to show the emphasis placed on the first estate in the french monarchy during the pre-revolutionary era. The use of silk and the elegant understructure must have alone cost more than the annual income of one hundred working class french peasents combined. It is no wonder that the working class opened their eyes to the language of the enlightenment introduced by Voltaire, Roussou, and Locke. The immense wealth of the French nobility at Versailles simply demonstrates their dependence on the third estate. What is France without the third estate? - Nothing! What is the third estate? - Everything! Down with the monarchy! Down with Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette! To Paris! To the Bastille! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!! This piece is absolutely exquisite.
