Reign of Terror Survivor Belle

They managed to kill Beast but Belle survived!

Belle is often styled in 18th century France, and with the NoVA Costumers’ Guild doing a Post-Revolutionary sew-along in the first half of 2019, I’m playing with nudging the story a little bit further along. If the giant ball gowns and historical panniers (not that the Disney version did panniers, but still) are gone along with the nobility during the revolution, what would Belle wear once the Terror was over?
