Her prison guards in the congergerie who treated her very badly took away everything she was attached to, that she figured out pretty fast. So, she had to be inventious.
She had had a package send from Madame Campan en Madame de Tourzel which contained a bit of clothing. New caps for on her head, new linnens (underwear), stockings, and a lily white dress. It was the kind of dress you were suppost to wear underneath other clothing, though, it was definitely not see-through fabric. She decided she wanted to wear that on the very day she was to go to the guilotine. But first, she had to go on trial, and for that ocassion, she wore her widow-dress. That made the people in the courtroom pity her and so the members of the Asemblee National were affraid that when she would wear it on the day she was to be executed, the French people would feel sorry for her and try to save her in any way. Therefore, the forbade Marie Antoinette to wear the widow-dress. Marie Antoinette put on the white dress on the very last moment, just before she was to be handcuft and driven to the Place de la Revolution.
When the French saw her in her lily white dress (white like the Royal Fleur de Lys!), with her whitened hair (it turned white in just one night) and ultra white skin (she had always been pale, but because she was also losing a lot of blood due to a suspected Cervical cancer she looked as if she had no more blood left in her body), nobody spoke a word dring the whole ride to the scaffold. There were thoussands of people standing on the streets watching her go by, and they were all completely mute. This was what she had wanted, and that is why she chose the dress. It represented the color of Monarchy, the color of the French Royalties and she would be a French royal until she died, although people now called her Widow Capet.
