How accurate are the costumes, specifically the "Court uniform" worn by the Dauphin and the King?
Also, are all of the characters you see or at least see more than once based on members of the Royal Family and other known people? Did the producers/script writers have particular personages in mind when they show them in the movie like this? (the chatty women who are always talking about people and were standing in the woods and complaining when Marie Antoinette first came to France, the people at the dining table with the gossip going on when Marie first inquired who the King's mistress was in the movie, and various other characters). I know the mistress is based off real, and the main characters that are "named", but I was wondering about the unnamed ones that are always around.
Also, did the Dauphine and Dauphina really have as an elaborate of levée as shown in the beginning of the movie BEFORE Marie Antoinette became Queen, or was this supposed to depict a Queen's levée.
