Happy birthday to His Royal Hotness Prince Rupert of the Rhine, who was born in Prague on this day in 1619. The epitome of Cavalier dash, bravado and glamour, Rupert is best known for fighting against Parliamentarian forces for his uncle Charles I during the English Civil War and became something of a hero to the royalist forces and an anathema to the Parliamentarian side.
Anne of Denmark, wife of James VI and I and mother of Charles I, was born in Skanderborg, Denmark on this day in 1574. I'm rather fond of Anne, who is perhaps one of our less well known queens. I'm also extremely envious of the fact that she inherited the bulk of Elizabeth I's enormous and exceedingly sumptuous wardrobe. Lucky lady.
Behind the eleventh window of my advent calendar, there lives this fairytale peach silk French evening gown from around 1860. I have to admit that this dress is definitely one of my favourites in this series, although it would look awful on me. (It also reminds me of 1980s bridesmaids dresses - there was a fashion for peach frocks after the Duchess of York dressed her bridesmaids in the shade.)
Daisy Greville, Lady Brooke and Countess of Warwick was born on this day in 1861. As chatelaine of the magnificent Warwick Castle and mistress of the future Edward VII, the very beautiful Daisy was one of the most glamorous and influential society hostesses of her day. I love this photo of her dressed up as Marie Antoinette for the Duchess of Devonshire's famous costume ball in July 1897.
The Countess’ dress, which (of course) was designed by Worth of Paris, was breathlessly described by The Times after the event as having a ‘bodice and paniers of pink and gold flowered brocade and gold lace studded with silver sequins and diamonds, the square-cut neck trimmed with old lace, and chiffon sleeves divided into small puffs with gold lace sparkling with jewels; diamond rivieres were festooned across the front of the bodice. The petticoat was of white satin draped with chiffon scarves edged with gold and sequin lace. The regal train of turquoise velvet was lined with the same and embroidered all over at equal distances with raised gold fleur-de-lis, and fastened on each of the shoulders with gold cord.‘
Yolande Gabrielle Martine de Polastron, Duchesse de Polignac died in Vienna on this day in 1793, just a couple of months after her adored friend Marie Antoinette. Although not a regular beauty, the Duchesse de Polignac had a freshness and prettiness about her that was immensely attractive and captivated all who encountered her.
Maria Luisa of Parma, granddaughter of Louis XV, sister in law of Maria Amalia and Joseph II of Austria (elder sister and brother of Marie Antoinette) and Queen of Spain, was born on this day in 1751. Although her portraits by Goya are perhaps much better known, I find them rather malevolent looking and much prefer this Mengs painting of her as a young girl at about the time of her marriage in 1765.
Behind the ninth window of my advent calendar there is this fabulous ombre effect party dress from around 1925. I can just imagine Lady Rose from Downton Abbey partying until the early hours in this one.
On the 8th of December 1793, Madame du Barry, the final mistress of Louis XV was taken from her cell in the Conciergerie, whence she had been transferred from the far more salubrious prison of Sainte Pélagie two days earlier and carried, struggling and shrieking for mercy, to the tumbrel that waited to take her to the guillotine.
Behind the eighth window of my rather flamboyant advent calendar there lurks this rather gorgeous evening dress from 1885. I don’t know about you, but to my mind, this gown just SCREAMS Christmas – probably because of the oh so delightful combination of a fluffy feather trim and that elegantly draped wintry ice blue silk.
On the seventh day of Advent, I have for you this most delightfully frothily beautiful of ball gowns from around 1860. I know that many people find the fashions of this period unwieldy at best and downright ugly and reminiscent of those spooky looking dolls that elderly ladies used to hide loo roll beneath at worst but I actually really love massive bell shaped crinolines like this one – even if I’m not entirely sure that I’d actually want to wear it myself.
Marie Adélaïde de Savoie, Duchesse de Bourgogne and mother of Louis XV, was born on this day in 1685. Marie Adélaïde was the granddaughter of Henrietta 'Minette' Stuart and her arrival at Versailles at the age of just twelve to marry her cousin was like a breath of fresh air to the fusty court of the now middle aged Louis XIV.

A heavenly 1902 concoction by the House of Worth. Imagine floating into a Christmas party wearing this little number. Oh my.
Christian Dior's 'Venus' dress from his A/W collection 1949/50.
On this day in 1804, Napoléon and Joséphine Bonaparte were crowned Emperor and Empress of the French in a magnificent ceremony in Notre Dame, Paris. For both of them it was to be the apogee of their astonishing rise to power.
The first dress in my blog advent calendar is a 1932 blue sequin evening dress by Chanel.
