Marie-Thérèse de Bourbon
Eighteen-year-old Magdeleine Hebert of Montreal portrayed the daughter-in-law of Louis XV in this dress with an outsized silhouette, accessorized with forget-me-nots in her white wig. The sleeves of the dress have been somewhat altered since the ball, and the large bows on the skirt have been replaced.
