The queen of hearts fancy dress is inspired from the queen in the novel by Lewis carol called The adventures of Alice in wonderland, Its thought by many that the queen character is actually queen Victoria and many other characters in the book resemble well known Victorians.
The Queen is a fiery monarch and famously exclaims "off with their head" at anyone who annoys her "The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. 'Off with his head!' she said, without even looking round.," although not many people are actually beheaded as the King pardons them first, and nowadays a children’s book would be considered extreme if there were beheadings carried out.
Sometime the Queen of hearts gets confused with the Red queen who was featured in Carroll’s second book Alice through the looking glass, and Disney made this worse in their 1951 film Alice in wonderland where the Queen of hearts often says things that the red queen said. And most people’s knowledge of the Queen of hearts actually comes from the Disney movie.
The Queen of hearts fancy dress costume has been very popular for decades, from a regal authentic fancy dress costume to the very modern skimpy and sexy fancy dress costumes that started to appear in the 1980s.
Now a new movie by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp as the mad hatter has brought a new generation of fans and costume hunters and Queen of hearts fancy dress is sure to get a new twist to the old fancy dress costumes, watch this space as we will have them first.
