Ah, I believe Madame la Contessa was wearing Avien at my ball this past Sunday! I remember admiring the detail of the lace trim on the skirt. Most fetching!

Fabulous gowns!
I think the scarf-thingie may be called a 'tucker', which was generally a scarf that could be used either to cover the decolletage demurely, or draped around it alluringly!
In Gainsborough's portrait of Mary Countess Howe you can see that her tucker is pulled right up to her chin - Michelle Pfeiffer has a similar high-tucked tucker in Dangerous Liaisons.

"The sedan chair was one of the coquettish luxuries of the day, and these afforded an unusually fine surface for decoration."
Westboutin may be known for exquisite aristocratic shoes - but what better way to protect those shoes from the dirt and grime of the city streets - or the muddy ravages of the countryside - than in a custom-crafted, heavily-cushioned sedan chair?
Westboutin are proud to present, after much (MUCH) trial and error
Modelled here by my good self and the marvellous Duchesse de Rochefort, these are Westboutin's first commercial models: the Dampierre Sedan d't and the Dampierre Sedan d'Hiver , each in a choice of two colours!
The Dampierre Sedan D't features decorative panels of suitably whimsical pastoral scenes, a padded and curtained silk-damask interior with many a tush cush, and exquisite white carved woodwork - including finials and a crest. Bob and Bob, your chairmen, are hardy fellows - twin brothers both willing and able to ferry you from pillar to post.
OFFERED IN BLEU D'ESPRIT AND ROSE
But, when winter creeps in, it is undoubtedly time to turn to the The Dampierre Sedan D'Hiver , the ultimate in cold-climate comfort.
Upholstered in rich velvet and brocade with a fur-trimmed cushion, this sedan has a regal finial at its very top, sides padded for insulation and richly veneered in walnut and mahogany. This version also comes with a wolfskin knee-blanket (modifiable, in case you'd prefer a velvet or brocade). Bob and Bob are once more at your service. This time, they're wearing hardy woolen undergarments.
OFFERED IN RICH GREEN OR BURGUNDY
(On a practical level, all the sedans are scripted to adjust for different av heights, attach to the pelvis for ease, have shadow prims and come with a decorative static version for your maison or jardin)

General Discussion
I'm trying to convince my work this is EXACTLY where I need to stay when I go to Paris.
Even though it's miles away from Paris. Not sure this is going to fly...
