Set
After being given four balcony poles, I had help from Jordan and Tristan in creating a stage balcony. It was comprised of four poles, one wall trim at the top, one wall trim at the bottom, and two small pieces of wall trim behind the end poles for stability.
Costume
After some time looking for dresses online, I had several options for my costume that I found on eBay. They were very beautiful, but unfortunately, would not ship in time for the performance.
Hair
I was not keen on using a wig because it would look terribly fake on me. Instead, I began researching different ways to style my real hair the way it was done during the 1700s. I found two websites that were extremely useful in styling my hair.

Makeup
I knew that Marie Antoinette's makeup would be fairly simple, given that only basic makeup was needed. However, instead of applying a powder foundation, I used a grease foundation that I obtained from Mrs. Aguilar's makeup drawers. Here is the site that helped me with makeup:

Logan's Hair
Logan needed help in coloring his hair gray without hair spray, so I suggested using baby powder. The powder was very effective in making dark hair look gray and looked very natural. I helped him apply baby powder to his hair on several occasions.
