What was the dress of an aristocratic couple on the eve of the French Revolution? What did the dress code reflect about the French society?

(a) The lady wore the sumptuous clothing, the elaborate headgear, and the lace edgings on the dress. She also had a corset inside the dress, which was meant to confine and shape her waist. The nobleman wore a long soldier’s coat, knee breeches, silk stockings and high heeled shoes. Both had elaborate wigs and, had their faces painted a delicate shade of pink, for the display of natural skin was considered unnatural.
(b) The dress code reflected that there was great disparity in society in France at the time of the Revolution. The sumptuary laws prevented unprivileged classes from wearing certain clothes, consuming certain foods and beverages.
