Well, with Antoinette, of course, Antonia Fraser. I actually don't own this book as it (surprisingly to me) is only available in German for the Kindle, which is how I've bought new books lately. But I've had it several times from the library. I agree with you, Tat, on the movie - maybe it's because of knowing the story, maybe it's because of Kirsten Dunst's California girl accent, but it's hard to not start "watching" the background and the clothes! Although I *adore* Steve Coogan as Mercy and I actually really liked Jason Schwartzman as Louis XVI, I thought he caught the slightly bumbling yet regal and essentially kind nature of the man.
There is also Carolly Erickson's To the Scaffold. She is more terse and doesn't go on about some things the way Lady Antonia does, though at times I actually wanted more detail, ah well. If you've read any of her Tudor-era bios, you'll know what to expect.
Queen of Fashion is fascinating and I have read it several times as well as dipping into it over and over; it's because of her documentation that I have the dauphine ride astride and in men's riding clothes at the hunts! I think at times she claims a little too much for Antoinette (did ladies adopt the gaulle *because* she wore it? um - I don't think so, it was a little more complex than that ...), however, there is no question that Antoinette's style choices and, especially, her real and then imagined expenditures on and obsession with clothing and jewels, were a huge part of her public profile and remained so even years after she moderated her habits, even after the family was removed from Versailles. I would also have liked to have had more information on what the fashions looked like, I think Weber could have done a much better job of illustrating this. To really understand women's dress of the period, I recommend several books below.
With Antoinette I also recommend the memoirs of Campan and Mme de la Tour du Pin (which is just a fascinating memoir in its own right, unfortunately not currently in print in English), to get the flavor of the world around her. Campan can be a bit self-aggrandizing and dramatic, and the Marquise is not a big fan of Antoinette, but both women were close to her and observed her, and the courtiers around her, minutely and left interesting records behind them.
For costume, to understand the outfits that people wore, my absolute favorite book is Costume in Detail: Women's Dress 1730-1930. This book has gorgeous line drawings that show clearly how gowns were constructed and then held together on top of ladies' bodies. Janet Arnold is also very good, and a fun book for considering how you might actually structure a wardrobe is Whatever Shall I Wear? A Guide to Assembling a Woman's Basic 18th C. Wardrobe; this book is aimed at lower- and middle-class North American Revolutionary-era reenactors but the basics of wardrobe were the same, an upper class woman would just have dozens of pairs of stockings, in silk, instead of a few of cotton or wool, francaises in silk and anglaises in polished cotton, a huge variety of hats, a number of fans and other accoutrements, and grands habits if they went to court. Of course, for real eye candy, there is Dangerous Liasons, the companion book to a wonderful show put on by the Metropolitan Museum of Art some years back. I highly recommend it to see both ladies' and gentlemen's clothes as they were worn, in period settings. Nom nom. There are tons of others if you start looking on Amazon, including Dress in France in the 18th Century, which I haven't read but it looks wonderful.
Re: Louis XIV, again, Antonia Fraser has a fun book out, The Life and Loves of Louis XIV, which includes my personal favorite member of the House of Habsburg, Anne d'Autriche, Louis XIV's mother and his regent after he ascended the throne at the age of 5. If you can get your hands on it, Nancy Mitford's "The Sun King" (sadly out of print) is also a great read. And for a fascinating drama that swirled around Paris in the 1770s and 80s and reached up to the king himself, in the person of his mistress Mme de Montespan, there is The Affair of the Poisons, a book which is very scholarly but also deeply, deeply interesting and very illustrative of court intrigues as well as the relationship between Paris and the court.
Tat, the books featuring Halard's photography look gorgeous and I will try to get my hands on them. The book on the Domaine must be a dream!!
Maria, I have tried to find Liasions Dangereuses in English, no luck. It seems odd to me, but, there we are!! :(
