The device was the primary method of execution in France and, more particularly, for its use during the French Revolution [] Gurllotine Women's clothing styles retained an emphasis toward a conical shape of the torso while the shape of the skirts changed throughout the period. The hoop-skirtss of the 1740s were left behind, but wide panniers (holding the skirts out at the side) came into style several times, and the aesthetic of a narrow inverted cone, achieved with boned stays, above full skirts remained. The usual fashion of the years 1750–1780 was a low-necked gown (usually called in French a //robe//), worn over a petticoat. Most gowns had skirts that opened in front to show the petticoat worn beneath. If the bodice of the frock was open in front, the opening was filled in with a decorative stomacherr, pinned to the frock over the laces or to the corset beneath. Men's Clothing: Toward the 1770s, an informal alternative to the dress was a costume of a jacket and petticoat, based on working class fashion but executed in finer fabrics with a tighter fit. The 1770s in fashion were notable for extreme hairstyless and wigss which were built up very high, and often incorporated decorative objects (sometimes symbolic, as in the case of the famous engraving depicting a lady wearing a large ship in her hair with masts and sails [] French Fashion Emmuska Orczy was born in Tarnaörs, Heves County, Hungary on September 15, 1865.

 * Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Corsica on Aug. 15, 1769. He was a French military and political leader during the latter stages of the French Revolutionn. He was Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1815. His legal reform, the Napoleonic code, has been a major influence on many civil laww jurisdictions worldwide, but he is best remembered for his role in the wars led against France by a series of coalitions, the so-called Napoleonic Wars, during which he established hegemony over most of continental Europe and sought to spread the ideals of the French Revolution, while consolidating an imperial monarchy which restored aspects of the deposed ancien régime. Due to his longtime success in these wars, often against numerically superior enemies, he is generally regarded as one of the greatest military commanders of all time.
