Queen of Hearts Costume Guide

1. CORSET – This red and black corset proved absolutely perfect for our outfit. There are plenty of other corsets available but we could not recommend this particular one enough!

2. SKIRT – Next, add either a black or red mini-skirt. A tutu is great for creating a more whimsical aesthetic, in keeping with the world of Alice in Wonderland.

3. SHOES – As with the skirt, either a pair of red or black heels will work perfectly well with this outfit. You can either go for a simple pair of stilettos, to contrast against the whackier aspects of this costume, or a more elaborate pair such as ours with white bow accents.

4. SOCKS – Again, these playing-card knee-high socks were just the perfect addition for our DIY Queen of Hearts costume. Of course, fishnets would also work well, if you prefer.

5. SUNGLASSES – Optional accessory but we feel the Queen of Hearts would certainly approve of these stylish, red-tinted shades.

6. NECKLACE – We simply love a sexy choker. This red choker with a dangly heart charm goes great with the rest of this look.

7. CROWN – Would any sexy Queen of Hearts costume be complete without a crown? We don’t think so. There are loads of crowns and tiaras to choose from but we went for this heart-ordained tiara in keeping with the rest of our cosplay.

8. EARRINGS – It really is the smaller details that elevate this look to the next level. A pair of playing card earrings is one such detail.

9. GLOVES – Wrap your fingers around some exquisite lace gloves fit for a queen.

10. STAFF – The finishing flourish is her unique staff. How else are you supposed to beat the filthy masses into submission?
