Queen of Hearts Costume

Inspired by historical tutor gowns and traditional playing cards this queen of hearts was lovingly hand crafted. A red brocade trimmed with a 3 layer trim and hand beaded pearls for the overdress. The underskirt is also handmade with appliqued red felt hearts. The hand crafted French hood is hand beaded with a combination of pearls and glass beads and go strutted from black velvet and cotton. The flamingo croquet mallet was made from a lawn flamingo and a parasol and was hand detailed including drybrushing the wings.
