American Duchess used to have the Antoinette mule, but sadly I never got a pair and they only came in baby pink/blue anyway. They DO still have the Pompadour shoes which I don't like quite as much as the Antoinettes, but are dye-able/embellish-able.

Thank you for the picture dump! I imagine it is easier to find this stuff in Europe- most Historical stuff here in the states is very Civil/Revolutionary war. ...Although, looking at some of the portraits of, say, women like Martha Washington, they did have lovely dresses even if they weren't anywhere near French Court caliber. Picture related was painted in the mid 1800s so it's probably not accurate, but still. Whenever you see Colonial re-enactors, even ones playing the elite, the clothing isn't nearly this pretty.

Combined with how hard it is for you to find fancy court stuff, I'm going to chalk the scarcity of it up to money.
