Medieval Queen Maxima

Medieval Queen Maxima is a three-piece women's costume with a long burgundy dress, a petticoat and a headpiece with a white veil. Wear this costume at carnival, a medieval-themed party or a knight and lady-in-waiting evening, and it is also perfect for King's Day. The dress reaches the floor and the wide bell sleeves hang down with a cream-coloured lining.

The medieval queen look

You can recognise a medieval queen's dress by three things: a long skirt reaching the feet, a fitted bodice with a point over the waist and sleeves that flare out widely at the forearm. Deep red shades with gold represented wealth in those times, because those fabrics and colours were the most expensive. The headpiece with a veil is an integral part of this: a woman of status did not let her hair hang loose. Everyone also knows this image from knight movies and the famous medieval fantasy series on television.

How to complete your queen look

Place the headpiece slightly back on your crown, so that the veil falls along your shoulders and your face remains clear. Large rings and long earrings with a red stone match the gold and burgundy of the dress. Choose closed shoes with a low heel, because the skirt reaches the floor. If you are walking with someone in a knight costume or a lady-in-waiting dress, the entire medieval court group can be captured in one photo.

Choose this costume if you want to walk around as a queen during carnival or a medieval-themed party.
