Homemade Queen of Hearts Halloween Costume
I wanted something big and dramatic for Halloween, original, but still pretty, so I decided to make a gigantic queen of hearts ballgown type thing. The Homemade Queen of Hearts Halloween Costume was super easy to make, surprisingly.
I used red velor for the skirt with a white silk front. I sewed red satin hearts on the front with gold embroidery threat for effect and little framing swirls below. The top part was made of black satin and a black shiny fabric with faint, fine, practically invisible gold lines that added a subtle texture.
I sewed a giant red heart on the chest which mirrors the shape of the corset, this was also surrounded in gold embroidery. The back of the top laced up in gold ribbon. I filled my huge skirt out with a 7 hoop skirt made out of 3mm steel craft wire, mesh, and muslin.
I got a huge number of complements and won two competitions with this costume! It was an absolute nightmare trying to waitress in it though.
