Egyptian queen costume Sanne

The Sanne Egyptian queen costume is a three-piece women's outfit with a black and gold dress, a belt, and a collar with a sheer black cape attached. The bodice shines with a gold-colored scale pattern between two black side panels, and at the bottom, the dress flares out into narrow gold pleats with a split at the front. You wear it as a woman during Carnival when you want to appear as a queen from ancient Egypt.

What pieces do you receive with the queen costume and how do you wash them?

You receive three pieces: the dress, the belt, and the collar with cape, available in sizes S, M, and L.

• The dress has a gold-colored scaled front panel, black side panels, and a pleated gold bottom with a split.
• The collar fits high around the neck with a black and gold pattern, and the black cape falls from there over the arms almost to the ground.
• Your shoulders remain bare, because the sheer fabric of the cape only falls over the arms from below the shoulder.
• The black belt has gold medallions and a long flap that hangs down at the front.
• The costume is made of 100% polyester.
• Wash the costume by hand, do not use bleach, do not put it in the dryer, and do not iron or steam it.
• The staff, the wig, and the headpiece are not included.

Gold and black as the colors of the Egyptian queen

You recognize an Egyptian queen by a wide neck collar, lots of gold, and a sleek black hairstyle with bangs. In wall paintings from ancient Egypt, queens wear pleated robes and richly decorated collar jewelry, and those two elements are reflected in the gold pleats and the high collar of this dress. The most famous of those queens, the last queen of ancient Egypt, has been depicted so often that a black bob with gold around it immediately makes you think of her.

Wig, headband, and staff for the Sanne Egyptian queen costume

A black bob wig with straight bangs completes the silhouette, because the short line of the hair matches the high collar. On top of that, a gold headband or a diadem with a snake on the forehead fits. Take a long black staff with a gold snake head in your hand and wear gold-colored sandals under the split. A long black eyeliner line towards the temple gives your face the same Egyptian look as the dress.

Choose this queen costume and you will lead the parade in black and gold during Carnival.
