The film Marie Anntoinette, directed by Sophia Coppola and released in 2006, follows the life of Marie Antoinette from the age of 15 when she is first married to the Dauphin of France to the French Revolution. While the film starts earlier that the 1770s, the french revolution was in1789, so the film does show the 1770s aswell.
The Dresses and costumes in this film are absolutley beatiful, with an interesting colour pallette (the costume designer Milena Canonero has said that they used a box of sweets as the colour inspiration). The costumes are slightly stylised so may not be 100% accurate, however on the whole i think the structure and the silloutte are about right if the fabrics and decorations are sometimes stylised.
She wears quite a few lovely hitched up Polanaise dresses in the film
I also like this 'Zone Front' Style of dress that she begins wearing later on in the film, i am not sure if this style of dress is possibly later than the 1770s, but i could probably still use it as inspiration for my designs.
The costumes and actors from Marie Antoinette were also used in a beautiful photo shoot for vogue magazine. This is my favourite shot of the group,
