Medieval queen costume Lotte children

The medieval queen costume Lotte is a two-piece girls' costume with a long dress with petticoat and a golden crown. The most striking thing is the golden hue: a cream-colored satin skirt with a wide band of gold brocade with curly decorative embroidery over the front. Girls wear the costume during carnival, during a parade or at a costume party with a medieval or princess theme.

The golden dress and the crown up close

• The dress is cream-white with gold-colored brocade bands on the bodice, the sleeves and in the middle of the skirt.
• The set includes a crown, so the queen look is complete in one go.
• The long sleeves are made of lace-like material with a puff on the shoulder and a narrow gold trim at the cuff.
• The dress is worn with a petticoat underneath, which makes the skirt stand out wide.
• There are children's sizes 116, 128, 140 and 158 cm, so approximately 6 to 13 years. Choose by body length and not by age.
• The costume is made of 100% polyester.
• Wash in cold water, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not steam.

What a queen look from the Middle Ages looked like

A medieval noblewoman was recognizable by a long dress to the ground, narrow sleeves and a lot of gold work in the fabric. The higher the status, the more embroidery and the more expensive the colors, and gold on cream stood for wealth at court. A crown or diadem made the difference between a lady-in-waiting and the queen herself. That image returns in knight stories and fairy tales, and therefore this dress fits just as well at a medieval theme party as at a fairy tale party.

What does your child wear with it during a parade?

For a parade or a long party evening, light shoes in a gold or cream shade are the logical start, because the dress falls to the ground. Long loose hair or a curly look under the crown completes the look, and with a hair clip the crown also stays during a conga line. If it gets cold outside, your child can wear a white or gold-colored cape over the shoulders without the gold brocade falling away. A scepter or magic wand in hand gives your child something to hold onto in the photo.
