When Louise tries on a dress at another Traveling Fashionista Vintage Sale, she's again whisked back in time, here to eighteenth-century Versailles; she experiences a culture of privilege and excess as a companion of the ill-fated Marie Antoinette. Fashionista readers may overlook the awkward writing and enjoy the lengthy descriptions (and colorful illustrations) of beautiful dresses. Reading list, timeline, websites.
