Marie Antoinette's Extravagant Daily Routine
8:00 am The Queen wakes.
A woman of the wardrobe arrives carrying a basket with what are called "offerings." Offerings include two or three chemises, some handkerchiefs, some towels.
First, the waiting-woman arrives and presents a book known as gazette des atours, containing gowns' fabric swatches. Each season has twelve toilets, twelve demi-toilets, and twelve rich dresses with panniers. Her selections are delivered in large taffeta baskets and include "a full dress, an undress for the afternoon, an evening dress for the play and supper."
The Queen wraps herself in a long robe of English flannel that is buttoned to the bottom.
The bath is rolled in, and bathers arrive with bathing items. When the Queen finishes her bath, a bath sheet is held to shield her from prying eyes and allows her to dry off in privacy.
She returns to bed wearing a white taffeta cloak and has either a piece of embroidery to work on or a book to read.

9:00 am Breakfast is served. It is placed on a tray on a coffee table and consists of something small, such as hot chocolate or coffee.
Intimates enter, and conversations ensue.

10:00 am The Queen visits the King's aunts and then King.
11:00 am The Queen's hair is dressed, and Louis XVI's brothers usually arrive. Styles often include creations created by the Queen herself. For more on her hairstyles. After her hair is dressed, she curtsies to everyone in the room.
12:00
The Grand Toilette then begins with folding chairs placed in a circle for the household superintendent, ladies of honour, ladies of the bed-chamber, the children's governess, princes of the blood, captains of the guard, and all the high officials who come to pay court. (Ladies of the palace arrive after the toilet is complete.) The Queen acknowledges each individual by a slight nod of her head.
The toilet table is very elaborate and placed in the center of the room. Getting ready for the day includes cleansing her skin with cosmetics, using astringents, and adding a whitener. White paint is then applied and dusted with a scented powder. Rouge reddens her cheeks, and pomade glosses her lips. Because the Queen suffered from smallpox as a child, she sometimes adds the ever-popular mouches. The finishing touch is one of the Queen's favourite scents, usually Eau de fleur d'oranger, orange blossom water that she wears regularly.
A specific protocol is enacted for dressing the Queen as described:
"The lady of honour handed her chemise and poured the water for her to wash her hands; the lady of the bed-chamber passed the shirt of her gown or her full dress, arranged her fichu, and clasped her necklace."
Moreover, nothing was ever passed directly to the Queen. If the Queen wanted a glass of water, it happened in this order:
"The lackey presented a silver-gilt platter to the first waiting-woman … but if the lady of honour appeared, it was she who offered the tray, and if [someone more important entered] … the tray was pass[ed] from the hands of the lady of honour to those of the [more important person] … before reaching the Queen."
This complicated ceremony changed towards the end of the Queen's reign: After her hair was dressed instead of dressing in the center of her room, she was followed only by her women into her boudoir. There she dressed and found "her modiste, Mademoiselle Bertin, the supreme arbiter of fashion."
