Court Culture – Etiquette, Fashion and Festivities
18th Century life at court is strictly regimented. Court etiquette must be scrupulously observed and prescribes how courtly society is to dress and behave. For it is a matter of rank and status. Noble ladies throughout Europe wear their gowns and coiffeurs in the French style; with flowing crinoline skirts and showing lots of cleavage. The morning toilette is a complicated ritual and virtually impossible without maidservants. Based on the model of French king Louis XIV, the men wear skirts known as "justaucorps", knee-length breeches and shoes with sumptuously ornamented buckles. Powdered wigs and elaborate make-up are equally "en vogue" with the gentlemen as with the ladies.
