What's in the Box

• Dress
• Crown

This Womens Queen of Hearts Costume channels Alice in Wonderland's regal villain in full dramatic glory — floor-length black gown with descending heart appliqués down the bodice, puffed red satin sleeves, and a gathered overskirt creating authentic bustle volume. High checkered collar frames the neckline; gold trim edges the hem for that palace-throne authority.

The bodice is fitted through princess seams; the long black skirt falls to the floor with a vertical heart-print panel running center-front. Red satin sleeves puff at the shoulder with elasticated edges for comfortable wear. Materials feel substantial — satin overskirt, velvet-like bodice, taffeta main skirt — not flimsy party-store fabric. Crown headpiece sits secure with a comb or clip base.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll classics, or fairy tale villain parades — instantly recognisable as the "Off with their heads!" monarch.

Halloween & Costume Parties: Brings storybook villainy to adult Halloween events, themed parties, or literary character nights without crossing into gore territory.

Teacher Costumes & School Events: Perfect for teachers dressing as classic storybook villains for Book Week assemblies, staff dress-up days, or dramatic classroom story-time.

How to Wear It

Pair with long black gloves (not included) and a blonde wig for the full royal effect. Black heels disappear under the floor-length hem; red lipstick and bold brows complete the imperious look. Skip modern accessories — this one's all about theatrical villain elegance.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements. The bodice is fitted; if you're between sizes or prefer a less-cinched fit, size up. The skirt length is floor-length on average adult women's height.

Can I wear this over regular clothes or for indoor events?

The gown is designed to be worn solo (over undergarments) — it's a full dress, not a costume overlay. Suitable for indoor school events, theatre performances, or air-conditioned party venues.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Spot-clean only or dry-clean to preserve the satin sheen and appliqué details. Hand-wash gently in cold water if needed; hang to dry away from direct heat. The construction holds up well for repeated wear.

Are the gloves and wig included?

No — the costume includes the dress and crown headpiece only. Long black gloves and a blonde wig are shown in images for styling but sold separately.

Care: Spot-clean or dry-clean; hang to dry, no tumble drying.
