The Queen of Diamonds is a stunning Victorian gown, it is made of pure satin silk, with an elaborate hand-embroidered corset. This dress looks like it was made for a princess. Imagine yourself in this gown on a sunny day in the courtyard of an old castle. All the silver jewels and embroidery on your gown are shining in the sunlight. Of course you are the belle of the ball. Knights and princes bow low as they admire your beauty. This gown captures the magic of long forgotten tales, of princesses and tailors who sewed gowns out of stars, moonbeams and sunlight.
The bodice is made from stunning hand beaded and embroidered silk. It has a glamorous line of high quality rhinestones softened by a delicate lace, which borders the graceful neckline, shoulders, and back. Right in the center between the bosom there is an intricate rhinestone design which is carefully sewn by hand. The bodice ends with a flattering V waistline both in the front and back. Both the bodice and the sleeves are lined with satin silk for beauty and comfort.
The Queen of Diamonds' upper sleeves fit comfortably firm. They are made of the same tastefully ornate silk as on the bodice. Their three-quarter Victorian style cuffs are made with a satin silk top layer and our beautifully embroidered lace as its under cuff. There is a lace trimming that separates the top of the sleeve from the bottom cuff which is adorned with silver and pearl brooches.
The skirt is attached to the bodice of the dress and is lined with an Italian cotton petticoat with crinoline and a detachable hoop. The hoop and crinoline keep the shape of the skirt and the cotton liner is cool and comfortable.
The skirt itself is made of a generous amount of smooth satin silk opening up in the center to show the same stunning silver hand embroidered and beaded silk as on the bodice. A gorgeous Victorian lace ruffle borders the bottom of the skirt. The amount of intricate detail on this gown is extraordinary.
The Queen of Diamonds comes with a fitting detachable satin silk cape, which is available with or without a hood. The cape is lined with a shimmering silver fabric and has beautiful lace trimming along the bottom. The cape clasps above the bosom with brooches which match the brooches on the sleeves.
