Mademoiselle de Beaujolais
Lily Griffith McConnell, wife of John W. McConnell, portrayed a granddaughter of Louis XIV and a daughter of Françoise-Marie de Bourbon. Like her husband, she wore her costume on several later occasions, and finally had her portrait taken in it in 1955. The metallic elements of the fabric have caused significant degradation.
