Luise was born in Bavaria..

… The daughter of Prince Louis Arenburg.  She is an excellent example of fashion as it changed from the 1790 round robe, into the gaulle, to early Regency, and late Regency.

In yesterday’s post she wore the fashionable mobcap (portrait 1796) and fichu of the late 1790’s.  Here she moves into the less structured “Gaulle” which Marie Antoinette made popular in 1797 (see last January’s blogs for Marie’s story).
